Bacon is eternal.

[Gn2Dlnd]

And internal.

Last night I had pork belly at a fantastic little restaurant called Craft (http://www.craftrestaurant.com/craft_LA_dinner_menu.html). Bacon may be meat candy, but pork belly is meat cake! Oh effin' em gee! I'm in love with a new food and will be on a quest to find more of it.

Huh - bacon wrapped around a french toast stick... never thought about that before... both are good with maple... nice sweet and salty and even worse for you so it must be really good quality to it. Perhaps I'll have to make some version of that sometime.

Lashpair Bacon Credit #74,612 - Bacon & Eggs for breakfast this morning. :D

[Betty]

I'm going to briefly invade the bacon thread with sausage. I recently made a breakfast sandwich with buttermilk biscuits (grands from a can), an overeasy egg - over medium is probably a better description as the egg yolk was thick but not hard - and some jimmy dean sausage flattened out thin with a little salt and pepper on the egg. Sausage biscuit with a not-scambled egg was really really a step above over the same dish scrambled.

You may now return to the regular bacon thread.

I looked up bacon stuff and came across recipes for bacon candy. Seems like I've heard off that somewhere around here?

Was it with brown sugar only or with spices added to it? Thin cut bacon or thick? MMmmmm... I think i may have to try that.

[lashbear]

Lashpair Bacon Credit #74,613 - we gave in and made GusGus's (or was it DP's?) Bacon Candy... the one marinated in Worcertershire and rolled in Brown Sugar, then baked crisp..... :evil:

In poking around online for things like bacon candy, I came across Bacon Toffee. (http://bostonchef.blogspot.com/2008/02/bacon-toffee.html)

The appearance is a little off to me somehow but I'm betting it's still very tasty. It does have bacon in it, after all.

Brussels sprouts are the new bacon.

Wait. Hear me out. Even if you don't agree that mini cabbages will ever hold a candle to cured pork, you must admit that Brussels sprouts, like bacon before them, are the latest chic ingredient. Many restaurants are now serving them up tapas style, garnished with fresh thyme or sautéed lardoons.

So okay. Maybe Brussels sprouts aren't the new bacon, but they're certainly bacon's new best friend.

Heather's brother Andy came down on Thursday night with his family in tow for a little hanging out and a lot of Disneyland. Last night, we went to "Home," our local eatery, for a dinner. Oskar, our 7-month-old nephew, was staring at the food longingly (he still has no teeth). On impulse, Andy took a strip of bacon from his burger and offered it to Oskar, who started nursing on it. He was absolutely pacified. We start 'em young in our family.

This is not entirely true - if you count salchichas. And I do.

I bought, at my local Jon's mkt last night, smoked pork bellies, otk as Russian style bacon. I was looking for uncured pork bellies, but I took what was available. I sliced me a big fat slice and put it in the skillet, I took some cubes and baked them in the oven. The skillet slice was the thickest piece of bacon you ever saw, and pretty delicious. The baked cubes I paired with some homemade dippin' sauces - apricot soy, blackberry, bbq. I found out where "pork rinds" come from, that's the bit that needs to be trimmed off, but I didn't. Other than that, it was an interesting experiment, and I'm all the more interested in finding unsmoked pork bellies. This is a food with excellent win potential!

Bacon Sparked Evacuation of Congressman's Office

Link (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,433863,00.html)

WEST CHESTER, Ohio — The office of an Ohio congressman who has fought against pork barrel spending was evacuated over a suspicious package that turned out to be full of bacon.

Staff members at the office of House Minority Leader John Boehner (BAY'-nur) became concerned Monday after finding an envelope leaking an oily substance. Police evacuated several buildings before determining the package postmarked from Georgia contained bacon.

A note was included with the bacon, but police didn't commenting on its contents.

Boehner was not in the office.

A spokeswoman says it's ironic someone would send Boehner bacon because he has spent his career fighting pork-barrel spending. He's one of the few members of Congress who shuns earmarks, those home-district projects sought by lawmakers.

However, the Republican has drawn criticism for voting for a $700 billion financial bailout bill that critics say was loaded with pork.

Chef Brian Rae

RM Seafood | Las Vegas


“Food always came easy for me,” says Chef de Cuisine Brian Rae about his start in the food biz working for a grocery when he was in high school. Rae’s dishes are urbane but not overly wrought with wacky science and bizarre ingredients; they have a certain easy-going sophistication that’s comforting but still adventurous. Following Chef Rick Moonen’s cue, Rae carefully sources his ingredients—from the sustainable fish and seafood to the uncommon sake lees that make his dishes standout. His Pan-Seared Abalone, Slow-Cooked Aracauna Egg, Toasted Brioche with Brown Butter and White Balsamic captures Rae’s ability to fuse homey-comfort with stylish refinement: the dish was rich and buttery with bright punches of tang from capers; the slow-cooked egg melted into the other elements on the plate to create a decadent sauce; the layers of textures ranged from gentle chewiness from the tender abalone, to crisp and crunchy brioche bits, to soft and delicate from the egg.


Poached Oysters, Braised Bacon and Cabbage with Kimchi Cream
Chef Brian Rae of RM Seafood – Las Vegas, NV
Adapted by StarChefs.com

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

Braised Bacon:
http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/rising_stars/2008/las_vegas/images/dish/brian_rae_dish_sm.jpg (http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/rising_stars/2008/las_vegas/images/dish/brian_rae_dish_lg.jpg)1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped leek
1 celery rib, chopped
10 parsley stems
10 white peppercorns
1 pint chicken stock
½ pound slab bacon

Kimchi Cream:
1quart heavy cream
3 tablespoon kimchi paste

Braised Cabbage:
1 head green cabbage, chopped
1 pt kimchi cream

Pomme Maxim:
1 russet potato
1 teaspoon clarified butter
1 cup parsley leaves

To Assemble and Serve:
12 oysters (preferably Blue Point), liquor reserved
2 ounces braised bacon (from above)
½ cup braised cabbage (from above)
1 pint kimchi cream (from above)
12 pomme maxim (from above)
Chili oilMethod:
For the Bacon:
Preheat oven to 200ºF. Sweat the chopped onion, leek, and celery over medium heat until sweet and translucent, but not colored, and season with salt. Add parsley stems and peppercorns and deglaze with chicken stock. Add bacon and cover with parchment paper and a lid; if necessary, add water until bacon is just covered. Place the pot in oven and roast for 3 hours, until bacon is fork-tender.
For the Kimchi Cream:
Combine cream and kimchi paste in a saucepot and reduce by a third. Season with salt if necessary.
For the Braised Cabbage:
Blanch the cabbage in boiling salted water for thirty seconds. Remove the cabbage and place in a pot of warm kimchi cream. Cover pot’s contents with a piece of parchment paper or wax paper (to keep the heat in and let the steam out), and braise until tender.
For the Pommes Maxim:
Preheat oven to 260ºF. Trim the potato into a long rectangle. Use a mandolin to slice 1/16-inch thick slices. Brush a silpat with a very minute amount of clarified butter. Place one potato square on the silpat. Place one parsley leaf in the center of the potato. Place another potato square on top of the parsley. Brush a very minute amount of clarified butter onto a second silpat and place it (butter-side down) on top of the potato squares. Sandwich these silpats between two flat half sheet trays and bake for thirty minutes.
To Assemble and Serve:
Fill three small sauce pots half-way with kimchi cream. Place the cabbage in one, the bacon in another and the freshly shucked oysters in the third. Gently heat all three to warm: the cabbage will become tenderer, the bacon will warm infuse with extra creaminess, and the oysters will become slightly firm and noticeably plump. Strain each, but reserve the cream from the oyster pot to use as the sauce. Adjust consistency with oyster liquor, if necessary. Arrange the cabbage, bacon, and oyster on the plate. Garnish with 3 pomme maxim, sauce, and a dot of chili oil.

Wow, nice platter! Nobody in my family ever learned how to carve a turkey, it always looks like wolves attacked it.

Thou shalt not consider Bacon on the same level as any other food, as it is above all.
Thou shalt not consume imitation Bacon.
Thou shalt not stop pursuing Baconlightenment until it is reached.
Thou shalt not forget to consume Bacon for ten days.
Thou shalt spread the word of Bacon to all.

And how do you get dime sized chunks of syrup? I don't know that I want chunky syrup.

I want a bacon martini for dinner.

Um, I think this is dinner tonight:

If you're like me and have a lot, use it in a panzanella. For a twist on the Italian bread salad, toast cubes of stale bread in bacon grease with a few cloves of garlic until well-browned. With tomatoes out of season, combine canned crushed ones with sherry vinegar and bacon grease for a chunky vinaigrette. Mix the toasted bread with some thinly sliced onion, niçoise olives, fresh oregano and basil.

Soak the mixture in the vinaigrette until the bread is crisp-tender. Just before serving, toss in some tart, bitter lettuces -- frisée, mâche and radicchio -- for a little zing and a lot of color. Serve each portion with crumbled bacon and a drizzle of reserved vinaigrette.

My husband requested beef burgandy last night. I was pleasantly surprised to find it had bacon in it. I enjoyed it very much, even the boy liked it!

Sadly my husband is requesting something called porcupine meatballs tonight and it doesn't look near as appetizing. Maybe the boy and I will just have leftover beef burgandy!

I'll be really happy when the husband goes back to work and doesn't have so much free time to tell me how to do my job of taking care of my family!

Porcupine balls are gross. Another recipe that hopefully passed along with my Mother.

I like the bacon martini recipe from that article:
Serve the candied bacon on its own or as a cocktail garnish. Place some vodka and Applejack brandy in a shaker, with just a touch of amaretto and maple syrup. Shake with ice and pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the candied bacon and a thin slice of apple (we do have to be somewhat healthful). Voilà. A candied bacon martini.

My husbands Mom didn't ever cook the meatballs first and the sauce is cream of mushroom soup. It never looked appetizing to me and sometimes your meatball isn't cooked through!

[alphabassettgrrl]

Porcupine meatballs need to be cooked all the way through. I kind of like them once in a while.

Not like bacon, which must be consumed regularly.

[katiesue]

Wait you pre cook the meatballs? Ok Mom didn't do that either. Not as bad as say Zucinni Pizza but still not one of her stellar recipes. Actually I'm not sure there were any stellar recipes.

[Alex]

But I don't get the attraction of cheese on bacon.

No particular attraction. It is just that it is bacon...and cheese. Why waste time eating them separately? (If you're going to eat either of them, since I'm not having any bacon.)

Dearest Morrigoon,

These little piggies don't appear to have been made of any meat. I imagine that they had great difficulty building themselves little houses made of straw, sticks or bricks (check the regulations regarding the latter - 12792 is the current brick count for BBQs/fireplaces - for one family of piglets).

They are like haggis - every part of the sheep except for the meat. I'm only commenting because Stoats like meat with meat attached.

Having said this, please save me some in an air-tight jar for 74 days, and I'll try it all the same...

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

I think *actually* having relatives from King of the Hill would be a frightening thing indeed. We lived around rednecks for a while, so it's hilarious for us. I about fell off the couch when it first came on.

...Bill Nye tried to make me feel guilty about eating bacon because use of anchovies in commercial pig farming feed is contributing to the collapse of world fish populations.I'm gonna miss those fish. Cuz I ain't gonna stop eating bacon.

1 Case/12 Cans of Yoder’s Canned Bacon
http://www.mredepot.com/catalog/Bacon%20Case_thumb.JPG (http://www.mredepot.com/catalog/Bacon%20Case.JPG) Fully Cooked, Ready to Eat, 12 Cans per case, 40 to 50 slices per can

MREdepot.com Exclusive!!

For the first time in almost 20 years, canned bacon is back in this Country. Not available in any store!

More than 2 years went into the development of this bacon, and we’re proud to be able to bring this back to you after improving on a what was a very successful brand of canned bacon made years ago by Celebrity Foods (registered Trademark, all rights reserved).

http://i12.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/f3/b0/efa7_1_sbol.JPG

Each can is 9 ounces of fully cooked and drained bacon. Between 2-3/4 and 3-1/4 pounds of raw bacon go into each can. Each can is the highest quality fresh #1 bacon slices. Cured to our specifications, cooked and then hand wrapped, rolled and packed in the U.S.

We cook this bacon down for you prior to canning, so you won’t pay for all of the natural shrinkage that occurs whenever you cook bacon. Then we carefully drain all of the fat and liquid off and can it fresh so it will taste as good out of the can as it would right out of the refrigerator.

100% U.S. bacon!!

With a shelf life in excess of 10 years, this bacon makes a perfect addition to your food storage program and it is great for every day use. Take some with you when you go camping, hiking or hunting - keep a case in the boat, RV, cabin or anywhere that you may need to prepare a meal but don’t have refrigeration!!

Here’s what it looks like when it comes out of the can;

Comes out easy. Bacon stays together until you unroll it.

Bacon retains its sliced form and is easy to work with

Okay, that's it. Australia gets voted off the island for canned bacon.

[~MS~]

Gang, that bacon is USA all the way...American made bacon in a can...you'll all be 'rolling' in bacon and sourdough pancakes!

[Morrigoon]

Wow, phosphates, nitrates, and just to top it all off... erythorbate (whatever that is)!

It's a veritable who's-who of preservatives!

[~MS~]

with a shelf life of 7-10 years what would you expect?

[bewitched]

I wonder if it skitters away if you poke it.

[lashbear]

depends if you unroll it or not :p

[cirquelover]

It actually looks good. I am surprised it came out of a can, let me know how it tastes.

Bacon Explosion! (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html?no_interstitial)

Might be heretical to add sausage to bacon, but this is a riff on the bacon and cheese roll up (My arteries hardened just thinking of it).
