Food The Bacon Thread

I've considered this question as well. I have a conspiracy theory (the "Baconspiracy", in fact) that the surge of bacon is a backlash against Al Qaida, and by foolish extrapolation any Muslims, who don't eat pork. With this theory, I suspect that there's a bit of "fuck you, see what we can eat" to the whole thing.

Hey, I was just eating a bag of pork rinds, this version happens to be called Baken-ets fried pork skins. See below. Do you guys consider these a form of bacon? And more on the real food side rather than bagged junk food, I get lunch at a local little "very authentic" Mexican taqueria around here and if they have it I always get a half pound of so of their chicharrones fried pork skins ...very excellent and enjoyable for most bacon lovers.

 

I dunno. I can't get my mind around eating the skin of a pig. Even the crispy Chinese style whole roast pig, I'm careful to remove any skin. Bacon? Even though it's riddled with fat, I can handle. I put a pork shoulder (for pulled pork) in the oven yesterday and had to cut away a huge section of skin. I was looking at it and it just confirmed that I wouldn't eat that stuff.

 

Leto,

I'll PM you my address and UPS acct no. so you can please mail those parts to me. Thank you.

 

I got some GREAT advice from a certain bacon-wrapped meatloaf guru and we're soooo going to try it very soon.
I love bacon sometimes. A coworker got me some bacon-blue cheese-cranberry potato salad from Whole Foods for that silly luncheon on Thursday.
It was baconfucking amazing.

 

Today for lunch, a salmon BLT sandwich. Whoever mated salmon with bacon should be knighted.

Sex lube gives new meaning to bacon lover

Postmedia News November 16, 2011

VANCOUVER — It gives new meaning to porking and it's the best of both worlds for men: bacon and sex.
Grossed out? Consider that 43 per cent of men in a recent survey chose bacon over sex.
Yes.
And to prove the adage that everything is better with bacon on it, a Seattle-based company has created what it claims to be the world's first bacon-flavoured lubricant.
It's a "pork-flavoured nectar" called Baconlube.
The company, J&D's Foods, calls it the McRib of sex, touting that "it's delicious" and "makes men crazy."
The company says they've created only 3,000 bottles of the liquid.

bacon makes everything better

 

Saw this in the joke thread, thought it would be appropriate here too:

 

indeed

 

This is my favorite version of bacon wrapped meatloaf. Its amazing, like a cross between it and scotch eggs. I make it with chorizo and pork sausage mixed into the ground beef.

Will someone please buy that bacon lube? I really really want to know if it tastes like bacon! I imagine it could be risky to have body parts taste that good

 

yes, you don't want to accidentally do a Hannibal...

 

YUM! I wish someone would do this here

Microsoft Is Trying to Poach Amazon and Google Employees By Giving Out Free Bacon


Microsoft is trying to hire new employees by luring them with god's greatest creation, the devil's most delicious treat and man's greatest love: bacon. They've set up a bacon cart (!) outside of Amazon's offices and will give away free bacon to everyone. EAT BACON, WORK MICROSOFT.
This isn't lame sauce light bacon either, it's the good juicy fatty stuff that, according to The Seattle Times, can be topped with Sriracha, spray cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup and chocolate sauce. The idea of the bacon cart work trap was created by ad agency Wexley School for Girls because Microsoft wanted to double its Kinect for Windows team from 35 to 70. And with good engineers typically already working for other companies, the bacon cart is a great ploy for Microsoft to grab their attention and tell them to "Wake up and Smell the Future".
The food cart is serving free bacon today at Amazon headquarters in South Lake Union, Seattle and has plans to move over to Fremont on Tuesday to be near Adobe and Google. I wonder if I'll think of Microsoft the next time I eat bacon. [Seattle Times via The Next Web, Image Credit: Brier Dudley/Seattle Times]

 

Just picked up about 30 pounds from the butcher.
Sent our hogs in a few weeks ago, he just finished smoking it.
Home grown, home made bacon will knock your socks off. And it makes everyone happy at holiday time (well not the kosher/halal/vegan crowd but everyone else).

 

mmm bacon.

Took my first swing at bacon as dessert the other day. Candied bacon, chopped and added to oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies. They were a big hit. I think that next time I am going to double the amount of bacon and halve the amount of butterscotch though.

Another think I am dying to try out is baconated bourbon. There's a recipe out there for it (that one can find by going to John Scalzi's canonical bacon page) that I think I am going to try after Christmas. In addition to my thinking that bacon smokiness would go well with bourbon, I really want to take a crack at a breakfast old fashioned: Baconated bourbon with maple syrup.

Bacon Vodka..... Another thing I am going to try (thinking of getting some for a friend of mine as a Christmas gift). I think it would make an awesome bloody mary, and I think chilled, with perhaps a touch of sweet vermouth, and a couple of blue cheese stuffed olives would make for one HELL of a martini.
