No oxymoron there, you still can't eat him.

Presumably his wife is Jewish. So sad.

That's when a shabbos goy really comes in handy.





Incidentally, the Drawn Together Movie is thoroughly enjoyable.

Praline bacon recipe.

Bacon strip pancakes

Oh.... Oh my.... I know what I'm making this weekend! :D

*BOWS DOWN before the bacon*

Last night the world's cutest grandson and his parents were over for dinner. WCG was being fed the last spoonful of his cereal and he wasn't as hungry or interested as he'd been so I suggested it needed some bacon. WCG froze and stared at me transfixed as if I'd just uttered the magic word.

Is WCG old enough to speak?

????

He's YAGEing from the bacon thread, obviously, medically.
At least that is how I'm reading it

Your Aorta's Gonna Explode

VGDM!

Let's hope not. :eek:

The should get married and hyphenate their names. Just sayin'.....

It's no wonder Bacon is winning.

Bacon always wins.

OMFG... Skulls and Bacon.

No sh!t. Awesome.

I'm still not looking at this thread. Especially not at the Bacon Pancakes which I obviously missed last time I looked....

I'm hosting a last minute breakfast party on Sunday for 8-10 people. I bought 6 lbs of bacon, will it be enough?

Help, how do I cook it in the oven? On a sheet pan?

From my favorite cookbook, Staff Meals from Chanterelle by David Waltuck: And while we're on the subject, how about a post-Bastille Day Aioli BLT?

Oh, you two, don't tempt me !!

Let me see... if I were to cook 6 lbs of bacon, mmm that'd be 2.7 Kilos, Yep - I reckon it'd last us at least a couple of days.

(Or about half an hour in a packed Yosemite lodge...)

Yes, a sheet pan is easiest for large quantities, IMO. (Heck, I even use it for just Jason and me.)

If you like curly bacon, you can always take foil and make ridges for your bacon to sit upon.

However, I am persnickety and like to flip my bacon over so it gets even crispiness, so the foil thing gets annoying to me.

agreed. also the nice thing about makin' bacon in the oven is you can treat it to some very interesting add ons. from as simple as freshly ground pepper to a light glaze of maple syrup, garlic powder etc. something youre hard pressed to do in a fry pan

I put mine on a non-stick baking cooling rack in the sheet pan - that keeps it out of the fat while it cooks.

sounds ok, but....the images make me a little sad for some reason

I think the bacon is the bun.....

They look too real!

I'm having bacon macaroni and cheese for lunch today! :D

Anything that requires baconweaving is a sin in the eyes of our lord.

Which makes it that much tastier.

You mean I can get sin with my bacon?
WooHoooo!

I made bacon cheddar waffles this morning.

Ike's Place gets an eviction notice after much haggling. Not of interest to anyone really (unless you love their sandwiches). Article here but it was this quote that jumped out:

Like that is a bad thing? ;)

I am continually astounded by the sheer volume of things that crop up in this thread. Just when I think we have found everything there could possibly be about bacon, something new comes in.

I love it!!!

Now that Gary has a smoker he wants to make bacon. First he has to find a butcher to buy the pork belly from. Thankfully i think it will take him a little while.

Shhh, don't tell him! We actually went to the butcher a couple towns over and they don't carry such a thing :rolleyes: The only brisket they had was 5 pounds, not quite what he had in mind.

I found him a 12 pound brisket up in Salem but no pork belly there either.

So someday when he has the time he can look around Portland before he heads home. He actually saw a Gartners ad this weekend and said he'd go there. I know him though and he hates to shop so I suspect I have little while before he does.

Then again, every weekend he's out there smoking something, in the smoker this time, and having a good old time.

This weekend we did pork loin. I made my half kaulua pork and he did some apple juice marinade. We shredded them both up and Yummm!

Well, you'd think your butcher could, like, um, maybe, place an order for pork belly when they get the porky parts from their supplier? Just sayin, nobody does a special order any more?

All that smokey goodness you are talking about is making my mouth water!

I kind of thought it was crazy that they couldn't order what we wanted too!

The boy looked at me tonight and asked if we had something nonpork to eat. He had little brisket sandwiches. I guess I'll do pork but I can't decide between the kaulua, which I'd need to make rice for, or just having some of the bbq sauced up apple pork. Hmmm..... choices and ones I like for once!

I eschew bacon now. Just sayin'. And I don't read gthis thread anymore. Ya gotta believe me.

Mushrooms taste almost like bacon in food. Close your eyes and you can't tell the difference. Really.

to quote a quotable quote....

Glass of Bacon
 

Glass of Bacon:

Where?

In the glass!

If you have to buy a Budweiser to get the glass of bacon, it's not worth it.

Heck, I'm not sure its worth drinking a free Bud

I meant "In what establishment can you purchase this?"

The bacon mac & cheese at the Swank Bar last night was disappointing, imo. This, after we got the chef's ok to have it special made for our party, since the restaurant was closed for a private function (and hence, not running their usual menu). AND after we raved about it so much, and over-confidently ordered six servings.

They got eaten, and people seemed to like it. But it was really meh compared to how it was last month.


Bacony let-down. :(

I'll agree with "meh", but after your story, didn't want to say anything. Glad YOU did though.

I never lie about Bacon. :D

Although ironically, lying about Bacon was the genesis of the LoT's obsession with Bacon.

Indeed, I thought it fine, but -I- could do better :)
Still it was lovely to see you all!

The perfect bouquet for the man who loathes posies, but loves BACON.

Stephen Colbert's Slim Jim & Bacon Flag
You only need watch the first minute

Yes it was definitely not the same. It was still good, but it was not the same bacon-infused awesomeness that we had fallen in love with the first time around.

nothing says 'pork me' like bacon flowers

In Montreal we ate poutine with bacon..... yummy. Poutine is a Quebec "culture" food and can be found at lots of restaurants. Basically, it's french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds (and in our case, bacon as well). I'll have to post a photo as soon as I get it online (even though it looks gross lol).

My brother is a mega carnivore. So when my mom asked him what he wanted to eat for our dinner in celebration of him passing his Physical Therapy Certification, he said, "I want those turtle burger things. SzczerbiakManiac* knows about them, ask him." So yesterday I got a call from my mom asking me about the "turtles" I made. The first thing that popped into my mind was peanut, caramel, and chocolate clusters which I have never made in my life—I make brownies & cookies—so I was confused. But then she said, "You know, the burger patties with hot dogs and bacon." Of course I then knew to what she was referring. So I sent her the link and she said she'd get the ingredients and we'd have them on Sunday (today).

Well let me tell you, they were fücking awesome! Everyone in attendance, without exception, absolutely raved about them. Even my mom, who is an RN, was rolling her eyes all through the preparation process about how awful these were for us and mildly complained that they were a pain to make (they are pretty labor intensive) was suggesting we make this a tradition by the time dinner was over because they were so good.

We didn't cook them covered, as suggested in the recipe, and they took a lot longer to cook. Additionally, we wanted the bacon crisped up, so we finished them under the broiler for a couple minutes which made the bacon turn out really nice.


*he did not actually call me SzczerbiakManiac

really? how epic! didnt happen to get pictures, did you?

EPIC!!

Pictures PLEASE!!

We took pictures, I'm just waiting for my dad to e-mail them to me.

I love their map of (what Im sure they consider) the US



or at least as far as their 'Wright Brand Bacon Backyard Corn Grilling Tour!' is concerned.

funny, it looks sorta like a flyin' pig to me. :D

Tonight I am going to attempt to make a Mac & Cheese with a pound of Bacon layered throughout.....to take care of a certain craving I have had since K's birthday meet at The Lounge.

Well, Wolfy? How was it? Pics?



...I'm still not reading this thread, BTW.

It was terrible........so no pics.





















That was for the bear....actually it was wonderful bacony goodness, much better than The Lounge's (at least the evening I tried it)

CP bought the makings of gazpacho, my mom's recipe (which I still like better than any gazpacho I've had, even in Spain). Her recipe calls for beef bullion.

I couldn't find beef bullion in the pantry. I found, in order:

Chicken bullion - eh, not hearty enough to substitute

Vegetable bullion - seems redundant

[I bet you can guess where this is going]

bacon bullion - ding ding ding ding ding ding!

Admittedly, I kinda stopped looking very hard for the beef after that discovery.

I'll let you know how it turns out, chilling at the moment.

I can send some more for you if it works !

It was yummy. I used a little less than the recipe called for, I didn't want to overpower things.

If I do it again I'd use more than I did.

I had bacon cheddar waffles for breakfast! :D

Did you see the Maple Bacon Rub in the Williams Sonoma catalog?

I got one of those for Christmas. Very relaxing.

Here's a Kevin Bacon made from bacon.

It's Kevin Bacon made from bacon bits! Blasphemy!

I saw that but it was such a terrible likeness that I decided not to post it.

Well, it is only a bit of Kevin

MTV's The State, way ahead of its time

So, I come to the LoT to post a recipe for bacon risotto and what do I find?

That this thread had fallen to Page 2.

This is wrong. So very very wrong. NSFW words and subject matter

Kevy !!! Norty Boy.

There's a good recipe here for Maple Bacon Sausage.

So, Canadian Bacon.

It isn't bacon.

It's little round slices of ham.

Just sayin'

Agreed.

Uh Uh !! Aussie Bacon (AKA Canadian Bacon) is round slices of ham with optional tails of streaky fatty bacony goodness attached if desired. One has to specify "Short Cut" to get just the round hammy bits.

...and it's still better than the USA bacon. Neener Neener. :p

BTW: I'm still not reading this thread.

only in america....would someone build a bacon gun based on a soviet design.

The BA-K-47 is sooo last year. ;)

April 14, 2009

Well, 1. Your original link was repaired
And 2. things have moved around a little, so this is the proper link for BA-K-47.

Which led me to Bacon AT-AT, which may have already been posted, but it would at least be this year..

OMG OMG @ Bacon AT-AT...

I posted a comment that they could save some calories if they used low-fat hot-dogs.

Sounds reasonable.

BTW: my chest-scar hurt while watching that. :D

Oh yuck, I hate poutine.

I'm with you on that one. Gross. (I hate gravy, so no big suprise.)

What, are you a communist?!?

Last night I had one of these:

ATTENTION BLUERICA! Bacon Bacon Bacon Pizza in the SLC area!

Bacon Donut from Nickel Diner in LA


Donuts & Bacon Shirt

OMG - I can't tell if that's awesome or awful. However, my experience with Papa Murphy's has been awesome thus far, so I'll guess it's pretty awesome.

:snap:LIMITED TIME ONLY: Maple Bacon Plush Puff Gourmet Marshmallows :snap:

You've been informed.

OK now this is the most hilarious bacon thing EVER.

This is from the Food Network Site, a recipe for "late night bacon" supplied by none other than Rachael Ray!

OK so that is the stupidest, most obvious bacon "recipe" ever. But the best thing is the comments, such as:

This is one of my favorite recipes, except I use tin foil instead of paper towel in the microwave. Also, I usually leave the microwave door open while I cook it so that I can watch the savory goodness up close.

and

This was such a fantastic idea! Who would have thought! I actually put individual bacon slices on individual paper plates and used Egyptian cotton towels to absorb the grease! It really classed up this timeless recipe. I also suggest accompanying with Late Night Cereal. Pick any cereal of choice, pour in bowl, add skim, whole or soy, almond milk, serve with spoon. The combo is to die for!

and

That's not what "late night bacon" means in my house.

and

Then, when I tried to drop the plate, and it wouldn't let go of me, I started madly waving my arms around trying to get it off. In the middle of flailing, the plate flew off, and crashed through the large picture window in my kitchen. Between the time the window broke, and when I started flailing, the bacon also flew off and got stuck on the wall. The dog, being a dog, charged the wall-bacon, and began devouring everything that even remotely smelled of bacon, including largish chunks of drywall. Oh, crap, I hope it wasn't that Chinese drywall that has the chemicals that cause cancer...



.... LMFAO!!!!

Thanks for the laugh - it came when much needed!

Are they going to post the recipe for ice next? :rolleyes:

I think that recipe should be called: "How to get the entire family to come to the kitchen at midnight".

Those comments are hilarious!

Comment on Rachael Ray recipe (posted here cos Im too lazy to register over there):

"I'm a vegetarian, so I tried this with strips of zucchini and it tasted just like bacon !"

(with apologies to my Vegeterrible Friends... you know who you are.) ;)

Haha I guess it hit the twitterverse yesterday cos the comments have doubled :D

Another good one: dear rachael,

thank you from berlin - i haven't witnessed such a miraculous life-changing revelation of god's wonders since the birth of my first child. one request: could you maybe change the name to 'all day bacon'? last time i wanted to prepare your heavenly treat of wonder it was just quarter past 5 and i hungrily waited in the kitchen for five hours.

or

I made this in my EZ bake oven. It took nine days. On the fourth day, the bulb burnt out so I replaced it with one from a tanning bed. Five days later, out came Snooki.
How do I get her to leave?

Oh I hope so! Mine always comes out hard.

I have to read the site later. The comments posted here are making me late for my market!

Someone posted that there's also this "recipe" for ... pineapple wedges.

Hooboy.

VMM !! :snap:


actually, without the comment that preceded it, this sounds more like a Kevy moment...


ETA: Added to quotes for posterity.

Ha!

See, I am taking these as someone at Food Network has a sense of humor. At least I hope that's what these are.

I love this one comment from your linked recipe above:

I went to a very sub par italian restaurant for lunch today. Someone at the table ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer.

What came out was a weird dark brown lump surrounded by marinara sauce. We all looked a little puzzled. The waitress (who was either not on her game the whole time, or had no game to be on) said, "It's cheese wrapped in bacon."

Sadly, the worst part wasn't that she simply though one could replace the word "prosciutto" with the word "bacon". The worst part was that the 'chef' seemed to think he could replace the meat 'bacon' with the meat 'prosciutto'. The reason for the confusing brown lump was that the prosciutto had been cooked like bacon. And what may have once been a lovely hunk of fresh mozzarella had been unceremoniously melted. The whole thing was an offense to what that dish should have been.

We watched the Sound of Music last night. The Von Trap family had prosciutto and mozzarella for dinner the night Maria first joins them.

I love blu-ray.

I bet you say that to all the girls

Bacon gifts for the season.

First, I can't believe that there hasn't been any additions to this thread in almost three weeks. Second, I am surprised that no one has posted this yet (or if it has been posted, I couldn't find it).

There is a restaurant in Anaheim Hills called Slater's 50/50 that (among other things) appears to be a bacon gastronomist's delight.

Their signature 50/50 burger patty (which you can get served a gazillion different ways) is 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon - and you can get your patty up to 1 lb. AFTER cooking. You can also have baconnaise sauce and extra slices of bacon added. Pair it with a Bacon Shake and then have a Bacon Brownie for dessert.

They have a cardiac unit around the side of the restaurant...

OMG that burger sounds so good. My boys would eat there in a heartbeat, even if it stopped theirs!

Which side? I feel as if I should have that info ready so I can most effectively request a table.

That side; over there...

AM posted it on FB awhile back. the 50/50 alone sounds like it would make it well worth the trip from here.

I cooked nine pounds of bacon this morning. It was all consumed. About 1/3 of it was consumed at the cooking station (on the front lawn of Chez Meinke/ Cone).

I wonder how bacon grease affects grass

It makes it more bacony.

It acts as raccoon repellent.

Mmm, bacon grass!

It's just bait for more stray animals to find their way into NA's home and heart. ;)

After seeing this post, I thought this would be a fun place to try for my birthday lunch with my parents. It's sort of half way between us which was a bonus.

My husband and I each ordered a burger - cut in half - and we shared. We ordered a 50 50 burger - their signature burger which was spicy and delicious. We also got a custom burger that was all beef and had bacon, pinapple, teryaki, lettuce and swiss. My husband liked that one better and I liked the 50 50 better.

All together we ordered a 5 combo appetizer and tried them all. The artichokes were really delish and went well with the sage mayo dipping sauce. Pickles interesting - but I'm not a huge dill pickle fan. Sweet potato fries were good and what I'd read online was to dip them in the pumpkin sauce. I love pumpkin but just couldn't get behind a savory version of it.

My husband enjoyed a beer - he was disappointed he wasn't able to get the Panagea beer from dogfishhead that he'd seen on their website but wasn't in stock when he ordered it. Oddly enough they poured him a different beer and tried to take the bottle. When he asked to read the bottle (he's a beer brewer and bottles have some fun/interesting info) and noticed it wasn't what he'd ordered, they confessed to not having Panagea. He still enjoyed the beer they had subbed it with however so there was no love lost.

Right as we were leaving the turned the volume way up on one of the games playing and that bothered me a bit - but we were wrapping it up so it didn't really matter.

I give you...

COLORED BACON!

Hmmm. They say he won't give away his secret, but I'm thinking a combo of food coloring and vinegar, the latter of which will cook off in most cases. ;)

Um, yeah... no thanks

That would make for a horrible rainbow in the toilet...

Make sure to use a condom

Psst...the correct term is Bacon American.

Oh hell yes! I want big time!
This is totally me. I love dying my food. You might say it's in my blood.

I'm trying out Maple Bacon wings tonight at a restaurant. I'm rather excited. :)

Triple layer Elvis birthday cake: Peanut butter, honey, bananas, bourbon and bacon

Hold the peanut butter, honey, bananas and bacon. And cake. Then you got something.

Shouldn't an Elvis cake have amphetamines in it?

Hold the bacon? I think you're in the wrong thread.

he said hold them, not get rid of them. :)

we'll get to those right after the bourbon

:cheers:

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce;
Special orders don't upset us.

This is the bacon thread, not Mc Donalds. You can't have it your way unless that way involves bacon.

I believe that was from a Burger King jingle...

Close enough. I dislike them both (or rather if I eat there my body rejects whatever I've eaten as quick as can be with stomache cramps and extended restroom visits.)

The bacon truck was right down the street from our house today, but my stomach is all messed up. :(

Bacon truck? Please elaborate on this!

Sorry your stomach is all messed up Matt. Get well soon.


What is this bacon truck of which you speak?

Get Your Lardon! - the bacon truck

Damn good stuff - and a former coworker of mine is one of the cooks.

The Bacos are freakin' delicious and Rose and I nearly fought to the death over the bacon chocolate chip cookies (they use bacon fat in the dough).

It wanted to match your brain

I wonder if a nurse has slipped me some meds... Jason and I stopped on one of those educational channels and they've been talking for 10 minutes about Bacon Man and how good bacon is.

The channel is "This" and it's got that ei logo in the upper right hand corner.

Damn it, still can't find the channel or show name...

OK, I found it.

Okay, this story is not about bacon.........yet. I have every confidence in the world that it won't take long before bacon becomes involved.

It may have already.... there's a comment that states:

I'd really like to make some sizzling bacon pop rocks. I found this recipe for bacon extract:

Is that from you GD?

It is not, but sounds like someone I'd like to know :)

Apparently, there is a town called Bacon in Texas

You didn't tell us they had a bacon sundae; http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-r...agon?gt1=47001

Although I'm not sure about that one. I guess the chocolate covered bacon was good but bacon and maple syrup on my ice cream, hmmmm.

That sounds like a delicious bacon overload! I wonder if they put bacon in the mashed potatoes?!

I am bored and hungry, bad combination I know, so I took some biscuits and flattened them out and put bacon and cheese in them and added another biscuit on top. They are cooking now.

Had lunch yesterday from the Baconmania food truck. Trio of bacon balls, which were 3 beautiful crispy balls of bacon, one filled with steak and blue cheese, one filled with mac and cheese, one filled with a small PB&J sandwich. HEAVEN

That sounds wonderful. I want what you had!!

My biscuits were ok but they needed more bacon.

I am shocked there are no pictures of such glorious sounding items. you'll just have to go again

Well, exterior shot only, but...

wow.

just....wow

I don't check out the Bacon thread often (enough), so forgive me if this bacon-flavored oxygen inhaler has already been posted. Their slogan: "Everything Should Taste Like Bacon."


Who could argue with that? :evil:

I see a Cactus Cooler in that image as well - sweet!

Now I am off to find this Baconmania Food Truck on Twitter and follow.

The gown slid off her shoulders, down her arms. The bacon trio wouldn't be merely filling a moment of physical desire, they would be tearing apart her soul.

I just became the 2000th follower of the Baconmania truck on twitter...for which they've promised me a free bacon ball trio.

I'll take the one 3894 is talking about.

Make sure to follow getyourlardon as well, the Lardon truck is my bacon truck of choice.

Lardon doesn't seem to make it down to OC, doesn't do me much good.

I made corn chowder for dinner last night. It was just okay but the bacon I sprinkled on top was delish.

I saw a pic somewhere online earlier of bacon cups. They were wound inside a muffin cup or flipped over on the back of the muffin cup for a larger version. once baked you could fill it with something. I think someone here needs to try this. I'm currently out of bacon.

Here are the bacon cups of which I spoke...er wrote.

I bought a "Mo's Bacon Bar" with Applewood smoked bacon, Alderwood smoked salt, in a deep milk chocolate (45% cocao). The salted chocolate was nice, adding a little crunch, and the flavor was nice, with just a hint of smokiness.

Love it.

^^ I second the bacon ipsum love (though I feel my arteries hardening just trying to read it) ;)

Bacon Jam, this stuff is awesome! Found it at our local store today, had to try it. YUM, rich, a little goes a long way. BIG bacony flavor goodness

Friend of mine just posted the following bit of sage wisdom:

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy you bacon, and that's pretty damn close.

I just discovered these. They're yummy!

I bought Baconaise, only to find out that it HAS NO BACON IN IT! :(

Still tastes good, tho.

Someone just told me about someone making chocolate chip cookies with bacon in them! My two faves in one!! I'm goning to have to spend some time in the kitchen soon!! ;)

And then some time at the cardio care unit.....

:D

I just got the baconaise but I haven't tried it yet.

The bacon salt is awesome on eggs.

I'll bet you my grandmother that those have MSG or flavor enhancer E621 or E639 or E625 in them...

Do you like your grandmother?

Ahhh... "Better living through chemistry!"

You dip them in ranch dressing *swoon*
 

Green tea extract?

There you have it - Manufacturers can disguise MSG as "Natural Flavor" (cos it's made from Seaweed)

Get ur own damned thread

When you start talking "Bacon ends" and "rendered bacon fat" suddenly bacon doesn't sound so wonderfull any more....

Why?

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.

What'd I do? It's right there, between ROSEMARY EXTRACT, and CHEDDAR CHEESE.

I bought a bar of "Sizzling Bacon" chocolate last night at the Taste of Newport food festival. Just had a piece. Venezuelan chocolate, bacon, sea salt, and pop rocks. A winning combination.

Pop rocks??????

Pop rocks = sizzling. Nice.

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!

Bacon taste test. Lucky testers! :)

I had a French dip sandwich yesterday to which they added bacon. It was not a proper use of bacon. It just tasted weird.

Salty bacon and salty Au Jus could be a bit much....

I have to agree bacon doesn't belong on a french dip. A place we order from also puts mayo on it - uh no.

Gary had a burger yesterday from the Ram and it had chicken fried bacon on it. He broke off a little for me and it was divine. I'm sure it's horrible for you but it was so good. I said next time I would just like a cup of cheese beer soup and a plate of that bacon!

Back the eff up.




Cheese beer soup? Is that a thing, or are you just listing words that make me drool?

GD: See "Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup" from Le Cellier at WDW ;)

(recipe available in Disney cookbooks!)

Urge Gastropub by us makes a wonderful beer cheese soup. It's one of my favorite things.

You can also get mixes where you just add the beer that aren't too bad either.

No, it is real and it was only 1.99 for a cup of beer cheese soup! If only they had chicken fried bacon as a side I would be a happy girl:D

I've got a recipe for roasted tomato soup with a cheddar crouton on top (like french onion soup but a riff on grilled cheese and tomato soup). I'm imagining that with some bacon sprinkled on top and thinking winner winner tomato soup dinner.

Except it's too hot for soup for dinner when it's still 100 during the day.

You know what's good in soup?

oh you totally have to try some if you get a chance. that is totally as good as it sounds

Why, Sir, I do believe that ThinKrisps would be the very thing !

:D

mmmm... so cheezy... I mean sooo bacony.

I can't believe this is a crime. I mean, when a man's gotta....wait, turkey bacon?! Lock the deviant up for good!

But who's real criminal in this case? After all, it was the home owner who purchased the turkey bacon. I think the burglar was doing her a favor by getting rid of it for her.

How do you know he didn't bring it himself, in need of only a stove and cookware?

I don't know where the sign is from but now I want to eat there!

Ha!

I knew it. Fish is no better for you than bacon.

At last!
 

Science has found a way to combine two of the major food groups: sticky buns and bacon.

Gary found an enormous chub of bacon this weekend and he was thrilled it was only $21! I actually uttered the phrase " But what are we going to do with that much bacon!', he was shocked!

No pics of the healthy items, why would they? ;)

Im willing to try this - but 475°F ??? Wouldn't they be charcoal after a minute?

(PS: Stoat says you can get a third Food Group in there if you serve it with a Bourbon Sauce)

O la la!

I stayed at the corner of Bacon St in San Francisco.

I had bacon on my pizza today

I had extra bacon, and bacon alfredo cream sauce on my sandwich at lunch.

:snap:

Yes, from the makers of baconnaise it's:

BACON LUBE

"Turns your sausage into bacon"

LOL dirrrrrrrty

Kind of takes the fun out of what I came here to post:

not really - Pussies like bacon too !

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!

We used to get meat from Brees in Garden Grove. Try there if you haven't already: http://www.breesqualitymeats.com/

Tango loves bacon, too.

Thank you! I'll give them a call!

Apparently ThinkGeek has bacon candy canes and bacon frosting this year.

I couldn't find Caul fat. I just used extra bacon to wrap my turkey breast with on Thanksgiving. It was very yummy!

At the table, we all said what we were thankfull for. I was thankfull for BACON!!!

Thanks! And the leftovers made great panini sandwiches with melted cheese and that bacon crust on the turkey! Double yum!!

I just took a frozen turkey out to thaw in the fridge. I think I might have to try this bacon coating you speak of.

Uhh... I am really feeling like I'm missing the bacon at the hospital these days. My efforts to leave early and come back early to the hospital may be failing me in this regard.

Glass bacon earrings, as featured in this month's Food Network Magazine ;)

It's never too early to start

I don't think this has been posted yet:

The Bacon Cookbook

I have the cookbook. It has a lot of really good recipes.

It does sound pretty good! I like in the description where they say "For those who sometimes eat vegetables"....

:D

So, after months of speculation, we've determined that the early morning bacon smell must be coming from a different floor of our building.

Hmm... Or it's our new line of air fresheners.

I went to Avant Winery over the weekend. They have something called yuppie crack which is a goat cheese filled date wrapped in bacon. It's amazing.

We've made something similar but stuff with an almond. I think you also sprinkle a little brown sugar with cayenne pepper too. I'll have to try it with a different filling.

The W in Chicago stuffs them with chorizo. Best. Appetizer. Ever.

I was just talking about the Wave Bar the other day...

MMMMM, chorizo.

Nothing like ground up spit glands and lymph nodes! ;)

I can't cook the stuff because of that. I start looking at it too closely and then I can't eat it. Occasionally though, my husband will make it as breakfast burritos with eggs, potatoes and cheese and then? It's pretty darn good... as long as I don't look at it too closely and think about it too much. heh.

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.

Wait... Chorizo is made out of pig faces ?

BACON EXPLOSION FOR THE WIN!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7pz3mN9JEk

Needs a mozzarella filling.

Or a churro.

Oh, yes.... you'll fit in here. :cool:

I like the idea of those - but the bacon is never done enough. I hate chewy fat on bacon. I want it pretty crispy. Same issue with those bacon covered, stuffed jalepenos and such. I've wondered if I may have better results if I parboiled the bacon first.

I always precook the bacon if I'm wrapping it around something. I hate soggy bacon too.

Thank you Betty and Cirquelover for the great tip!

Soggy bacon is a tool of the devil.

The best part about making chef Oscars potato soup is the whole house is smelling like bacon.

Later it will be all about eating the soup!

Recipe?

I'm
Feeling lazy so here is a link to MC and the recipe; http://micechat.com/forums/gibson-gi...up-recipe.html

If you've made soup you know to add the flour, make Roux, before you add the potatoes, usually use more flour too. I also have to use a lot more chicken broth to cover the potatoes, I've found TJ's to be the best. I just use kitchen shears on the Bacon much easier than rough chopping frozen bacon.

It's even better the second day too!

Thanks! It's on my list of things to make for dinner this week.

Edited to add (after viewing recipe) - No wonder it's so good. It's got 32 oz of cream for 6 servings!

Yeah, I found that to be a bit much too, so I actually use half the cream and twice the chicken broth.

Just used your recipe tonight :) Used milk instead of the cream and had to use all Russet potatoes, but it was still quite good. Perfect meal for a cool evening. Thanks for the inspiration.

I almost made it last night... almost. But it was taco tuesday so I had to make tacos. ;)

Tonight though? I think I just may.

We are having leftover soup tonight. Now that the teenager likes it he could eat it every day!

Had leftover soup and a side of leftover turkey for dinner :)

It's almost worth Wisconsin in January ... Almost
 

At Nueske's smokehouse through the weekend:

BIG BACON BLOW OUT
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).

There's a show on Travel Channel right now called Bacon Paradise.

FREE BACON!


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!

I can't believe no one has jumped on this and you call yourselves bacon lovers :evil:

I love pepper bacon! It's especially good on grilled cheese sandwiches, with extra sharp cheddar and gruyere and slices of granny smith apples...

Jack in the Box adds a Bacon Shake - for a limited time only!

At last something to wash down that Jumbaco...

If my teen saw that he would want to try it. Luckily the article says it is a secret item so not listed on the menu.

I have to confess the Jumbaco commercial makes me laugh.

Nobody wants the bacon? Please? I don't want to have to throw it out!

Its a bit far for me to drive for a pound of bacon

I have the same problem as Kevy - geographically undesirable. Sorry.

Bring it to Disneyland and place it in a locker - post the locker code and number and someone will pick it up. Sometimes these transactions need to be discreet.

Can you post it to Australia ? (you'll need about 4lb of dry-ice)

Best Mouse Adventure ever.

Alas, I'm a bit too far away. :(

Can you bring it to your office in GG on Tuesday? Ken is off that day, and I can send him over to pick it up. :)

We love pepper bacon. :)

Sorry DP. One of our neighbors took it off our hands already.

No problem! Glad it got used! :) Thanks for offering it up though!

I wonder if you could have given it a quick rinse to wash off some of the pepper to turn it down a notch?

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!

just had a taste of the new Jack in the Box bacon shake.

its not the worst thing Ive ever tasted. pretty good actually (IMO)

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?

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.

My husband tells me it's bacon syrup instead of actual bacon.

I want some of that bacon syrup on my pancakes! :cakes: :D

yeah, that makes sense. it wasnt chunky style bacon in any sense. and I only had a taste as well, so I fear getting really tired of it by the end of a whole cup full

I wonder how well the Torani Bacon Syrup would taste (on pancakes/waffles) if it was mixed with maple syrup.

Any brave soul willing to order a bottle and try?

Don't know if this was posted previously, but Bacon Cologne

YEAH BABY - Chicken Fried Bacon. Feel them arteries become like concrete!

Is the cheesecake on a stick deep fried too?

Sure, why not...

Well... I can think of several good reasons why not.

MMMM, bacon Latte! The best way to wake up in the morning!

I'm in the middle of completely remodeling my kitchen, so I was in the back yard making breakfast using the side burner on my gas Bar-B-Q (try that on your charcoal grills!;) ). As I was frying the bacon in the cool, crisp morning air, I was instantly transported back to my childhood when I would wake to the wonderfull aroma of pine forests, fresh mountain air, and BACON! :cool:

The thought of friend pickles followed by fried cheesecake made a a tad bit nauseous.

One would think these would diminish over time, but I'm glad they don't.

ah... but are they a deep friend ?

Hopfully, not a deep-fried friend. That would be kinda gross.

What if it was pickle-flavored cheesecake?

Ewwwww!

I think she stole that from me.

Throw some (read: a lot of) cheese on that and you have a winner in my book.

No cheese - needs mayo. And I can't believe I'm actually saying this: less bacon.

/cowers in fear of The Angry Bacon God

Get out of this thread, heretic!

Hold the bread too please

See! Santa knows what's naughty or nice.... :)

Well this was probably inevitable.

I was disappointed. I was expecting one actually made of bacon.

I have to wonder if that was accidentally posted three days too early.

I dunno, seems more appropriate for a cremation

V€M

I dunno, a "crisping" rather than a "cremation" might be more flavorful.

Aw, I have to spread it before giving it to Euro :P

. . . :blush:

You really can get it your way at Burger King. Even if "your way" is a burger with 1,050 slices of bacon on it.

I shouldn't admit this, but that picture literally made me salivate.

Watch him try to eat it, that should cure that feeling. It did for me.

I had a maple bacon shake at Slater's 50/50 one time. It tasted like a vanilla shake with about a cup of maple syrup mixed in. 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.

it was a joke

Bacon Kitty Litter

It does look delicious but it does not look like 1,000 pieces of bacon.

Now I want to go cook that three pounds of bacon in the fridge :D

SM - ever made Bacon Love Brownies?

I'm not opposed to the idea, but as yet I have not tried that.

It's hard bacon, on a bacon, that bacons like bacon. From Vat19.com

Oh, and SM - Come downunder and make some for me.

PS: Check out vatbacon.com

That video is appealing on three levels:

1. The inherent appeal of bacon
2. The satirical overuse of the word "bacon"
3. Cute guys sucking on phalluses (phalli?)

It's a win-win-win!

And Lash, I'll gladly bake you a multitude of Love Brownie variations whilst downunder, just cover my airfair. ;)

You're on! I'll just go get my lottery ticket. :D

Is that choc-coated bacon? If not, its really overcooked.

Yes, it's chocolate covered bacon.

I was too focused on the bacon the first time I saw the photo that I totally missed the guy in the back.

Gay Bacon

Sparklyyyyyyyy!!!!

Meat candy, or Candy meat ?

Yes

Apparently BK will have an ice cream sundae with caramel and chocolate sauce with bacon bits and a piece of bacon.

Fast food bacon has a weird taste to me though. I don't like it. It's oddly smoky or something.

I saw it on our local news. The piece of bacon sticking in it looked like a spoon!

Bacon Brittle Recipe.

We're moving at the end of the week. My son is at camp. My husband is in Vegas. It's just me and my daughter and 2 pounds of bacon to "dispose" of in the next few days.

It's going to take some work but alas, we shall do our best.

So, it sounds like you will need to make a grocery run to get more bacon to last through the end of the week.

Betty - BACON BRITTLE...........

Oooh... I would except that most stuff is packed

Yes.... packed full of BACON. :)

Bacon-wrapped sweet potato fries

VKBM and VZSERBIAKM

I had a bacon sundae and I liked it!

But did you kiss a girl?

No but I'll kiss my husband when he gets home tomorrow, does that count?

Not unless he's dressed like a girl.

It takes a real man to dress like a girl.

or an attention whore.

It takes a real man to be an attention whore?

Tell me !

So have you been to Slater's 50/50 and thought, "50/50 is alright...I guess. But it could be better. Like, say, if it were 100/0 instead."

Good news!

'merica, FüCK YEAH!

I told Susan about it and just hearing about it gave her a heart attack.

It's only a one month promo, so go soon if your arteries are soft.

I think I could take a bite of that, but to eat the entire thing. I do not think so. Does this answer the question: Is this too much bacon? Too much fo a good thing?

Don't make me move this thread to the Parking LoT

I like my bacon crispy - so a burger made of bacon isn't going to do it for me. Now - you could take the bacon and not make a burger out of it - but just cook it up and stack it. That would work for me. :)

Ya mean, like this?

Wouldn't ground bacon be like a bacon flavored sausage patty? If it's not crispy cooked, it's not bacon.

Tonight on Masterchef, one team cooked lasagne using a combination of chorizo sausage and pork bellies ground together to make the meat sauce. They won !!

I was thinking of trying it once original recipe, and once with bacon or speck instead of the pork bellies.

Have we already discussed bacon cups?

Not sure - I just did a search, but cups is too short, so I just searched for Bacon (on this thread) and my computer exploded.

Just got back from Slater's 50/50. I had the 'merica Burger.

Ho.
Ly.
CRAP it was awesome!

I had the burger as described in the aforementioned link. It was incredibly fücking good. My friends had the all bacon patty but built their own burgers around it. Both of them thought it was fantastic. We all agreed this patty needs to be available year round and we let the manager know how we felt.

I am jealous or maybe it's envious. Thanks for reporting back.

You're envious. ;)

Bacon Cheesecake with Bourbon Cream from The Gorbals

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

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).
