Bacon is meat candy.

[Snowflake]

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.
