Food The Bacon Thread

Yes, I'm wearing these right now.

 

"I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon- sue me- and since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So most nights before I go to bed I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman Grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious. It's good for me. It's the perfect way to start the day. Today I got up, I stepped onto the grill and it clamped down on my foot. That's it. I don't see what's so hard to believe about that" - Michael Scott

Also, I saw that Tony's I-75 was posted earlier. I live close to that amazing place, and have eaten there more times than my arteries would like to admit...

 

Grancey gave me this as a stocking stuffer.

 

I gave my daughter bacon flavored toothpaste as a stocking stuffer.

 

crispy with minimal fat and maxed thickness is maximum power

 

Not that this will be much use to you if you're not a bacon fan, but I've heard from a vegetarian friend that halloumi can be a good substitute for bacon, presumably in flavour rather than texture (I haven't personally tried it). However, a quick visit to wikipedia suggests it is made with rennet.

When I was vegetarian before I didn't miss bacon much (also, the available bacon substitutes back then were invariably atrocious, but I admit I haven't tried any in more recent times). Since returning to the darkside I have found that bacon is a true essential. I'm leaning towards less of the meat eating again lately but I'm not convinced I am truly prepared to give up bacon.

I had some turkey bacon recently (in-laws went on vacation and cleared out their fridge) but I thought it was pretty poor.

Moving country has reduced my bacon consumption, though. I loved a good meaty slice of smoked back bacon back home in the UK but the stuff I find here in Canada (in supermarkets at least) is normally the streaky kind and as a perpetual dieter I can't get on board with that most of the time. And I'm not sure I can handle entering a butcher's premises. Strangely, I haven't yet encountered that curiously ham-looking thing they call Canadian bacon here (edit: this sentence is mangled, I am sure the Canadians don't call it that but whatever they happen to call it, I haven't seen it), which seems like it could be more up my street.

Gosh this thread makes me feel dirty.

 

mouth is watering, almost too much to comprehend

 

hell yes!!!

 

absolutely LOVE cooking with Bacon... one simple recipe that all our friends die for, are bacon wrapped potato wedges nom nom nom

So, you cut your taters into wedges and par boil them or (for a quicker easier way) put them in a jiffy bag and in the micro for about 8 minutes. Season them with potato spice or salt and pepper, then proceed to wrap the streaky bacon around it. Bake in the oven on 180 degrees celcius until bacon is crispy. serve with a smoked ham or sweet chilli cream cheese!!!

If you dont know what love is... you'll know it as soon as one of these pass your lips

Bacons Bacons Bacons!!! Loves me some Bacons!
