I had a hard time deciding if I should post this here or on the WTF thread.

CNN's list of the World's 50 most delicious foods (http://www.cnngo.com/explorations/eat/worlds-50-most-delicious-foods-067535?hpt=hp_bn12).

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food," George Bernard Shaw said. Judging by the number of amazing dishes out there, he was right.

But which are the tastiest? We’ve scoured the planet for what we think are 50 of the most delicious foods ever created.

Guess what did not make the list?

Ketchup is on the list, but not bacon?

Psh - pork fat can be (nay - should be) used for all sorts of things.

For example, you cook some bacon in a pan. Where do you cook the over easy eggs? That's right - in the pan with the bacon fat.

Refried beans - the best ones ever - pork fat.

I hear you can make great pie dough with it and pop popcorn in it.

But aren't "ends" just the bits that don't slice nicely? you take the piece and make nice even slices out of it, and the ends are the leftovers, right? It's still bacon.

I'm with you on "rendered pork fat" though.

They just don't SOUND good, but they TASTE good!

Yes, the ends are just that, they are the ends that get cut off so the bacon fits into the package neatly. If you can find them in the store, they are quite economical if you plan to use them as lardones in a dish. They are usually a bit fattier than regular bacon, but when I'm rendering (there's that word again :D ) to start a cassulette, they work great!

I've been to local buthers, and can't find the caul fat I need for a recipe I want to do for Thanksgiving. I only need 1 1/2 lbs. I can order a frozen 10 lb box online which will tripple the cost of the meal, but I don't really want to do that.

The recipe is a sausage and mushroom stuffed turkey breast, rolled up into a log, and wrapped in.....

You guessed it, BACON! :D The caul fat is used to help hold the bacon on and make a nice neat log shape. It melts away to add it's pork fat delishisness to the outside while it's browning in the pan before it goes in the oven. It's not absolutely needed, but prefered.

If anyone knows of a place in the Orange County area where I might obtain such a rare delight, please let me know. Thanks!

I hear ya! The stuff tastes great, but mostly because of the spices they add. So, I tried Soyrizo once. It's vegan, using soy in place of piggy face parts and using the same spices. The flavor was good, but the texture was a little wierd. But in a burrioto with eggs and cheese with black beans, you hardly noticed. I suppose I could get a chorizo recipe, and sub out the meat with something else slightly more palatable.

Our bacon seconds are on sale! They taste exactly like our #1 bacon, the only difference is that sometimes the slices are a bit irregular. Choose from our classic Applewood Smoked Bacon (thin sliced), Applewood Smoked Pepper-Coated Bacon (medium/thick sliced), or Wild Cherrywood Smoked Bacon (medium/thick sliced), all at $3.49 per lb. in 5 lb. bags ($17.45 per bag).

Now that I have your attention...

Bill's sister gave us two pounds of pepper bacon for Christmas. I stuck it in the freezer at the time. I thawed one package out last night and made some this morning. We didn't like it - too peppery.

Would anyone like it? We have a one pound package minus 4 rashers and a one pound package still frozen. Free to a good home!

Today I watched an Iron chef showdown where they show bits from past shows. This one was called "Show me the bacon". It was great, though ham and suckling pig are hardly bacon in my book. One chef made funnel cake fried in pork fat and topped it off with powdered pork fat. Mmmmm, powdered lard!

I have issues with bacon from fast food places. It tastes off to me - unusually smoky or something.

So, my questions for you is: Is the bacon shake like fast food bacon? Or regular bacon?

Capt Jack

02-07-2012, 02:33 PM

I know exactly what you mean. sadly, I will have to say it is fast foodish bacon, but not in an overwhelming way like many places. Im sure that has a lot to do with it being in a shake form, but none the less. it wasnt the worst bacon 'thing' Ive consumed on a whim. I think that (dis)honor falls to bacon gum or maybe gummy bacon. I forget which. I only recall that both were vile.

I.e., not bacony at all and WAY too much maple. They offered to remake it with less maple. The second one had a nice balance of maply sweetness, but it still lacked any kind of bacon overtone.

A while back Jack in the Box had a limited-edition bacon shake which I rather liked.

Bacon Cheesecake with Bourbon Cream (http://bacontoday.com/the-gorbals/) from The Gorbals (http://www.thegorbalsla.com/)
For dessert we tried the Bacon Cheesecake with Bourbon Cream. This delicacy was created by Chef Lizi Freeman and she definitely knew what she was doing. The cheesecake took our taste buds into bacon euphoria. It was an erotic combination of salty, smokey, sweetness that deepened when the bourbon cream caressed our tongues. And what probably made the bourbon cream so erogenous was the fact that this cream is made with bacon fat as opposed to butter. When you visit, The Gorbals, even if you order the half cut roast head of a pig and think you don’t have enough room for more… You must order this cheesecake. Not only is it original, but it’s also one of the most delicious cheesecakes you will ever try.http://bacontoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/bacon-cheesecake1.jpg

Bacon Cheesecake with Bourbon Cream

First person to find the recipe for this for me so I can make it gets a BIG KISS.

RStar

07-20-2012, 02:32 PM

This may take some experimenting, but I would take a regular cheesecake recipe and do the following:

Render out 0.5 Kg bacon (that's metric for about a pound). Save the fat, crumble half of the chilled bacon until fine in a food prcessor. Eat the other half while warm :D

Run the warm (not hot) bacon fat through cheese cloth to clarify it. Add some to the recipe for the cheesecake, replacing some of the fat in the recipe (butter or cream cheese). I would guess 1/3 to 1/2 cup- but not sure.

Add some of the fine bacon crumbles to the graham cracker crust recipe.

For the cream garnish, take a butter cream recipe, add cold bacon fat in place of half of the butter, and add bouron to taste (use I'd start with about a tablespoon).

My favorite way to eat bacon is as a plain ol' piece of bacon. Cooked in a skillet or the oven. Microwaved as a last resort or if I'm feeling lazy and short on time - which is unlikely I'm cooking bacon at that point anyway.

That bacon above looks like it won't be crispy anymore under the toppings. I'm going to have to reserve voting until I can sample it and decide.
