A friend in the food research business says that a couple of companies are working on bacon and egg breakfast bars
|
I made bacon, potatoes and eggs for breakfast last Sunday.
Fry up a pound or so of bacon. Leave the grease in the pan, and use it cook up the taters (I use Ore Ida Country Style) adding garlic and Spike (or Greek Seasoning). Scramble and cook eggs to coincide with completion of eggs. |
You did a very good job too honey!
|
on a different note, I love bacon sandwiches.
Or as I like to call it - a "B" |
Last night's Quiznos sandwich had bacon on it. Yummy!
|
I finally remembered the guy who gave me (and thus, you) "Bacon is meat candy."
Someone else may have, and likely did, give it to him, but it was the taped up sign behind him that spawned this thread, oh so many months ago. I've been trying to figure it out for months, then I saw him on ESPN, and it was an epiphany, as though light shone from the skies above, onto my elliptical machine at the gym, with trumpets blaring and the voice of Alan Rickman (if there's a "god" then he's the voice of it, I'm fairly certain) came down and said "Yeah, him." Okay, maybe not that elaborate, but that's how I'd write it for the script of my soon-to-be TV movie. So yeah... Now amended with a better site. Wait wait, even better... he's horny (to the point of possible harassment) aaaand likes bacon. Go figure. |
I don't like him; he doesn't know how to use punctuation or capitalization.;)
|
Nice Dogma reference, Erica!:cool:
|
Haha, I totally missed my own reference!!!
I forgot he was in that... as the voice of god no less. But... you have to admit, before ever seeing or, or for those who haven't seen it, he pretty much has the voice of god, drizzled with bacon. |
Great, now I can't get the image of a genital-less Alan Rickman out of my head. Thanks.

Addendum:
Whilst scientists were quick to disenfrachise the planet Pluto that we all grew up with, they were slow (really slow) to recognise Alcohol as the fourth food group. What a pack of kill-joys. They are only just now beginning to realise that "Pluto" was actually supposed to be called "Pub" - which of course explains the term "He's off the planet". And for God's sake, it's Pluto Pub, not Pluto Pup*. As always, LashStoat. *For the American audience, this is like a Corndog, invented by a guy named Walker. |

Oh, and I had bacon for dinner, with eggs and all that other breakfast stuff. I only like breakfast at dinnertime. |

Scientific Breakthrough
The AmoGlycoPsuedoEfoTyalomine Drug Company has produced the World's first BanaNutAconMite tablet. Whilst proud of their synthesis of the core quasi-food supplimentary additive "BanaNutAconMite-tartrate", the Marketing Spokesperson of AmoGlycoPsuedoEfoTyalomine was slightly taken aback when Susie-Anne Krellingshaw of Arkansas, aged 11, announced "My Dad said 'tartrate my ass - heart rate is more like it'". Company Officials have declined to comment on claims that the BanaNutAconMite tablet increases one's blood pressure and cholesterol to near off-the-scale readings, however the Marketing Spokesperson has reiterated the value of the drug to the "Othi-epian*" [sic] people as "an alternative to eating desert dust". *The AmoGlycoPsuedoEfoTyalomine Spokesperson has since learnt that Ethiopia is an African state, and that cholesterol isn't a type of furniture polish. But it's all about the Bacon. :blush: |

Hey Captain Jack,
How's it going in San-Bacon-Diego* ? We had a great time in Los Bacon after we saw you last, and San-Bacon-Isco was great too. Did I ever tell you that we got to the San-Bacon-Diego Zoo and watched the humming birds - I love humming birds, but I could never eat a whole one. I love bacon even more. *Note: Lashbear has gone to work the evening shift, and I don't know what other thread I'm supposed to use for general exchanges, so please don't do flames at me. |
Hey Kevy Baby,
I promise this'll be my last post for a while - I hope all is well with you both - and I just remembered something bear and I saw in a swanky store when we were in Japan...it was called (no lie) Whale Bacon. We have a photo for those of you that don't believe us crazy Ozzies. It was in the cold section in a vacuum pack. [Stop Press - Attention Lashbear] You know that Avatar I wanted (see earlier post)...could you please find our Whale Bacon pic and scale it down? That way I keep my credibility AND I get a thread-relevant Avatar. PS/ Kevy, my what a big keyboard you have! |

Origins of Whale Bacon
Ok..Ok..
The Origins Of Whale Bacon. A composition written by Susie-Anne Krellingshaw from Arkansas, aged 11. :rolleyes: The Japanese people that lived there wanted to eat something. The moms* were little people because they were small. The daddies were little too, but they got into boats to get fish and things in shells. The ocean got rough sometimes, and the daddies vomitted overboard. But not always. To add verisimilitude to this otherwise bald and uninteresting narrative, the daddies would catch a whale for scientific porpoises** and make it into a size that the moms* could carry home. This was very thoughtful, because the people could sign the Kyoto Protocol on account of the fact that whale bacon doesn't emit greenhouse gases. Much, except a bit if it's left out of the takofumibushi for more than a kirotakiochi. Then it stinks. I once had a goldfish named "Whale". Mr Goldbloom (our neighbour) leaned over the fence and asked me why I was crying. I told him that "Whale" had died, and that I was burying him. He asked me why the grave I had dug was so big. Well, I answered, "It's because your f**king cat ate him". Susie-Anne Krellingshaw. *Mothers. **Like a sardine***, but bigger. ***Sardines are not like candy. |
....... :eek: ......

I can't believe I'm still reading this thread.
But I do love bacon. |
OMFG!

Bacon-y thoughts for an afternoon:
1. I'm glad my Cobb salad came with real bacon. Plus, the bleu cheese dressing wasn't half bad, even if it tasted like a bleu cheese/cheddar dressing. 2. My house will never have Bacos. I will always have real bacon, or nothing at all. No substitutions. I grew up in an imitation bacon house and I vow, "Never again!" 3. What does bacon not go with? Seriously, I'm having a hard time with this one. It goes with food items in every major category, so I tried to break it down while eating the Cobb salad. I figure that maybe it might not go with cottage cheese, but I think that probably tastes good with bacon. I'm racking my brain for more foods that it might not go well with, but I'm coming up with blanks. It might not taste good with... Oh, maybe I should give up. 4. Bacon is gud. |
Quote:
3: black licorice? strawberries? 4: yes...yes it is. |
See, i thought about that, and I bet bacon is amazing with strawberries. I can imagine a salad topped with strawberries and bacon, easily.
Black licorice... maybe that might not be good, but I'm willing to try it. |

And, I'm so getting these for my camping first aid kit.

Quote:
*Bannana Pudding *A Chocolate Bar *Twinkies *Berries of any kind It would seem that the only thing I could come up with is sweets. But even some I could think of might not be too bad. I started to put apple fritters, but then apple and bacon go well. |
Has anyone tried deep-fried bacon? I wonder how that would be.

Ive had it. the guy making them called them 'bacon jerkoff' (dunno. he was a bit of an odd bird)
but yeah, he'd twist them into spirals and deep fry them. they were simply awesome. |
Quote:
There is a chocolatier that makes a bacon chocolate... I'm certain € posted that somewhere in this thread... See, I think bacon would taste good on vanilla ice cream. Then again, I'm somewhat lactose intolerant and ice cream is the thing that does it every time. Twinkies - you might have me there. Berries - are you kidding me? I think it would taste fantastic with berries! While I've never eaten them specifically to be together, nothing, in my mind, is better than a breakfast with bacon, eggs and some form of fruit. I guess I'm in the frame of mind that nothing goes better with bacon than sweets. I'm not as big of a sweets fan, so perhaps that's why adding such a savory is so appealing to me... News Alert! I am thinking that peppermint and bacon might taste really bad. Really. Really. Bad. |

Bacon salt, yes, I bought some, even though the ingredient list was scary. I mean, I had to. So, it arrived and I tasted it, it's not bacon, it's not horrible, but I would have to be crossing the Sahara with no hope of bacon to satisfy a craving to shake some in my hand and lick it off. That said, I'm game, I roasted some new potatoes in the oven with olive oil, pepper and bacon salt. Still not bacony, but my arteries are thanking me for not using some of the skippy jar filled with bacon rendered fat. Not bacon, it does give the spuds a yummy, slightly hickory flavor. All in all, and interesting experiment, but there truly is, nothing on earth like the real, time-tested, taste-tested appeal of honest to goodness bacon.

I found some amazing, actually for really, low carb bread at one of my stores the other day. It's like 14 grams of carb, with 13 being fiber. And guess what? No crazy gastro side effects! So, I bought a head of iceberg lettuce. I bought a tomato. I didn't buy bacon 'cause I already owned some. And I'm going to take two, maybe three, slices of this magic bread, toast it up, slather it with mayo, and make me a BLT! For bonus points, It will be on raisin toast. I made
This bread, by the way, is from Julian Bakers. It comes in a 1 gm carb per slice whole grain brick of bread, and a 3 gm carb per slice raisin. And it's really good. You know I've tried every low carb product out there, and this truly passes the test. |
So this thread is 77 pages long and I'm kinda new. Has anyone discussed Makin' Bacon with Macon?

There's one where they make a bacon casserole, bacon on top of bacon on top of more bacon, etc. Feeding Macon the bacon, that is so wrong (leaves less for us) I am horrible, I need to shut up now:p I am honestly not that evil:evil: |

I was looking through BUST and saw a Bacon chocolate bar that made me think of this thread
![]() http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/produ...tic_candy_bars |
I've already had those - super 'spensive to get them shipped, just go to the store in Vegas :)
Pretty yummy, though. |
As weird as that sounds, as I think about it, it could be pretty good. Bacon is sweet, salty, and fatty. This goes well with chocolate. The smokey flavor is an interesting edition.

I've stayed out of this thread because it has been more than 15 years since I last tasted real bacon (turkey bacon a couple times but that isn't worthy).
But this morning I was walking through the construction site between my apartment and the BART station. Suddenly there was this horrible odor and I couldn't figure out what it was. Finally I realized it was coming from the roach coach that services the construction workers and after a few minutes of walking through it my brain finally pulled the odor from the dim recesses of memory and I realized it was just the smell of cooking bacon all by itself (it has been a long time since I've smelled just bacon cooking without adulteration by other cooking smells). And to think, that at one point in time I would have considered that one of the great smells in the world. I am almost tempted to start eating it again just to reclaim that. |

Alex, come to the dark side- we have bacon!
|
The truth is, other than incidental consumption of very small bits (occasionally I may pick sausage chunks out of country gravy, for example) I haven't consumed anything other than birds and fish since October 1992. As of two weeks ago I've cut out the birds on a trial basis.
The thought of bacon just doesn't appeal to me any more. I was just surprised that at some point I've gone from not wanting it to actually finding the smell unappetizing. |
If I ever get to the point where bacon smells bad and unappetizing, please shoot me.
If it works for you Alex, more power to you. I personally love the little sausage chunks in my country gravy, I bet it would be even better with bacon. Hmm I may ave to try that!! |
I just read a recipe for Chicken Fried Bacon:
Roll bacon in flour, sprinkle with pepper and desired seasonings. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Apparently, the fat binds the flour, giving it a nice crispy breaded shell. I'm tempted to try it. :snap: |
Wendy's Baconator
:eek: |
How come there are no Wendy's in West L.A.????
|
Cuz the people in West LA have taste?
|
I already posted about eating the Baconator- the bacon was horrible, it was not crisp at all, blecch...
I love Wendy's burgers, but not this one. |
Bacon at Saddleranch at Universal was AWESOME! Bacon after a Brooks concert makes me complete...
|
I can confirm that the Baconator is not a tasty sandwich. Much disappointment.
|
A slideshow that makes me drool all over the keyboard: everything is better with bacon
|
Aw crap, I was just coming here to post about the Baconator too. You guys got me beat. But I'm gonna post a photo anyway. Because I took one. In Amarillo Texas. Which sucked. It's not much of a town like you'd think it would be. So I photographed a banner for bacon. Which does not suck. Even if the sandwich advertised might. But it's bacon.

We are also having bacon wrapped lil smokies with brown sugar, yum! |
Best pick me up I've had in days. This morning, two types of bacon, platter bacon from the butcher and Niman Ranch. Gotta say, the bacon from the butcher was way better.:snap:

I may have to try these
Best of both worlds, bacon and cupcakes!
MAPLE BACON CUPCAKES makes 6 4 1/2 tablespoons of butter, room temperature 1/2 tablespoon of bacon drippings (left in the fridge to become solid) 1 egg 5 tablespoons of brown sugar 4 tablespoons maple syrup 1 1/4 cup of self rising flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder tiny tiny pinch of kosher salt 1/4 cup of milk 1/4 cup of minced bacon, cooked and drained Cook some bacon in a fry pan (about 6 thick strips). Reserve the drippings and place in the fridge to solidify. Mince 1/4 a cup of the bacon. The chef should eat whatever is left to assure that the bacon is tasty. Beat the crud out of the butter and solidified bacon fat 'till light and creamy. Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and beat well until combined. Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and powder together. Add some of the flour and mix, then some of the milk, then continue to alternate the dry and wet ingredients, ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in the bacon. Taste and add more maple syrup, flour, or milk if needed for desired taste. Keep in mind the maple frosting is very sweet, and to add in very small increments for alterations as maple syrup in large amounts can break a cake batter. Scoop into cupcake papers and bake at 350 F for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to rotate the pan after the first 15 minutes for even baking. |

I just had bacon for lunch. Well, technically it was cubes of bacon (lardons). I also had bacon-wrapped green beans last night. I am living in the world of bacon and other pork products.
|
Mmmmm..... bacon.
|
You know, as much as I love bacon, we may have to find something new and decadent to make popular.
Or we can stick with bacon. I loves me some bacon. |
We loved bacon before bacon was a thing. We will continue loving bacon and inwardly smirk at the trendy bacon poseurs. And in the end, we will continue to have our bacon.
|
Yes, we are the true bacon lovers.
|
I worship at the Altar of Bacon
|
That's true, we were bacon before bacon was cool.
Speaking of which, the Gelato Cafe guys have finally returned to this building. I just bought a "California Club" which is basically a turkey croissant sandwich with avocado and bacon (and lettuce, tomato, mayo). Mmm.... avocado and bacon :) |
But do they have good gelato?
I could go on and on about good gelato, though I have yet to experience it in its place of origin. Better yet, do they have bacon gelato? Oh - and I forgot to post in here... I've been on a salad binge, which has included many different ingredients. One such crazy-a$$ed salad had spinach, mixed greens, simple vinaigrette, avocado, garbanzo beans (had a few to get rid of - seemed weird with the later combination, but worked out), grape tomatoes, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, grapes... of which I've decided that the last three make the most spectacular flavor combination I've had in ages. Simply fantastic. |
Ooh, bacon and blue cheese...........
<mouth watering> yum </mouth watering> |
Mmmm... got my mouth watering with that. I also like that salad that has feta cheese, candied walnuts, and dried cranberries. But there's no bacon in that.
I think it's that whole stinky cheese + sweet + other flavor thing. |
Sounds about right, Morri... Sadly, I am out of bacon, though I'll be having a similar concoction, minus the avocado as well, though adding some chicken I cooked up last night.

This is getting a bit away from bacon..
Unless the pizza was a bacon pizza and the chicken crisp was made from a pig-chicken. The Lashpair just had Bacon & Eggs for breakfast. :p |
Yesterday had some friends over for lunch (and a tarot card reading which was fun). On the menu (my new favorite condiment) chimichurri marinated chicken kabobs (awesome) and an incredible new side dish that will absolutely be in my repitoire now and forever. It is roasted stuffed peppers*
6 Red, Orange Yellow bell peppers (with stems - split and the seed pod and vein removed) 6 slices of thick bacon variety of hot peppers (I used serrano and red jalapeno) multi-colored cherry tomatoes pitted calamata olives capers garlic salt & pepper parsley basil olive oil Slice the peppers in half, remove the seed pod and the white rib/vein. Lay them out in a baking dish & add a dash of salt & pepper to the inside. Slice the hot peppers into rings (remove the seeds if you're wimpy). In a bowl, mix the cherry tomatoes, capers, pitted kalamata, pepper rings, chopped garlic, parsley and basil, drizzle in a bit of olive oil, mix well with your hands. Stuff the mixture in each pepper half, top with more shredded basil, then fold a bacon slice to cover the top of each pepper. Drizzle more olive oil on and around the peppers, add about 3 tables spoons of water and cover with foil. Bake in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes, then remove the foil and roast in a 425 over until browned and roasted and the bacon is cooked on top. They were absolutely delicious! I'm sure I can and will modify this dish in the future with other goodies in it, but I will bet it's even delish without the bacon. *Recipe was from Jaime Oliver |
Tahe out the bell peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, salt & pepper, parsley, basil, and olive oil and you've got yourself a pretty good recipe!

Tonight was make due with whatever leftovers you could find night. I think I invented the best soft taco ever!
I Started with the leftover chicken and shredded cheese on a fajita and put it in the microwav. Then I put on some lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I added some sour cream. However before you folded it and ate all that yummy goodness there one last secret ingredient I needed. I went through the fridge and found a baggie in the meat drawer from breakfast a few mornings ago. With flare, pomp, and circumstance I added the last secret ingredient..... Wait for it............. wait for it............... just a little bit longer...................... BACON!!!!! It tasted so awesome...I just had to tell you guys. I thought you'd get a kick out of it! :) |

Okay, that was just cool, ABG!:snap:
(I loved this line:". Any excuse for more bacon." That is soooo LoT.) |
WOW! I wonder if you could mold the cups then bake eggs in them?
|
I wonder if the cup could withstand additional heat. I do figure that you could easily scramble an egg and put it in there. With cheese on top.
|
Yummy- egg bacon and cheese? How can it be anything but fabulous? Let me know if it works! :) I guess if you keep the heat low it might not crumble too badly.
|
Sounds delicious! Maybe next weekend I'll give it a try.
|
I think if you baked the cups, then scrambled some eggs (perhaps with onion and bell peppers), then put the eggs in the finished cups, top with cheese and put under the broiler untill melted it would be the best breakfast treat ever!!! :D

Our Portland morning show had a segment on eating out in PDX today. The theme was it's always better with bacon!
A place called Gilt had the BLT drink, it was tomato vodka, lemon and bacon salt around the rim. Park kitchen had bacon fries. It was bacon strips dipped in tempura and fried along with green beans. They said they were looking for an companion for their green bean fries and thought " Everyone likes bacon"! They looked yummy. Lastly there was Le Pigeon where they had a bacon dessert. They said they actually fry up many unusual bacons for their dishes, like duck. For dessert it was corn bread topped with maple ice cream with a bacon sauce drizzled over top. It looked unusual. I figured I had to share with all the LoT bacon lovers! |

I'd heard that too! Can't imagine boiled bacon though. I'm thinking it must have been chunks of the meat, not today's thinly sliced stuff.

The site linked says it's the 'bacon joint'... whatever that means. I'm totally feeling guilty for this bacon-y procrastination, so I won't click on it any more.

I just discovered that the grilled pork sandwich from Lee's Sandwiches is actually bacon, and lots of it.
For $2.20, it's a foot-long baguette stuffed with bacon, asian pickle (cucumber, carrot, onion), cilantro, and fresh jalapeno. I'm in heaven. To see the photo of what I'm eating right now, click on Menu/Asian Sandwiches/Grilled Pork. |
oh yum!

The really nice thing - it's not overly salty either. Just enough to give it flavor.

Ok, I use turkey bacon once in a while (my wife can't digest beef or pork well) and then I got to looking at the label. Sure, it's leaner. But it has more cholesterol than pork. MORE! :eek:
So, naturally I thought to myself WTF??? Then it occured to me. Turkey meat is not all that plyable, so how could it have that rubbery texture and still be turkey. And where'd all that cholesterol come from? Ding ding ding! The skin. It's turkey skin! Yum! :rolleyes: I'll stick with good old pork. Thank you very much..... |
actually, the peppered bird bacon makes for a pretty decent BLAT (avo)

I got snookered into eating at a Chili's the other day (meeting Mom for lunch and avoiding a drive to Riverside). I'd never been, and I'd never had a desire to go, now I'm mentally cataloging the location of each one I see.
Let me tell you about the bacon cheeseburger. Nearly 1/2 inch thick sliced bacon, somewhat candied like we had on New Year's Eve. Was there a burger involved? I'm sure there was, but I can't remember it well enough to describe it except to say that it came with the most amazing bacon. The waiter said it was new on the menu. He was very chatty, but not cute enough to put up with for long. My stepfather said he must have had a lot of coffee, I opined that I thought it was crack. But the burger was good. And they did a very nice bunless version for me. Conjunctions be damned, I will return. |
Need to keep note. We have a lot of chains out here in Utah, and knowing where the good items are helps immensely.
|
I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Chilli's on several occasions. I still wouldn't choose to go there myself, but it's a far less distasteful option than, say, Olive Garden.

Now, the recipe I've yet to try only calls for coating the bacon in flour and seasonings, then baking it, since the grease will "fry" the batter itself. It seems a bit healthier, even though it's pretty far from healthy to begin with. |
Feh. Ever seen the nutritional info on the twice-grilled burrito at El Pollo Loco? It looks reasonably healthy till you see the numbers. (Hint: it's more than the bacon burger)
