Bacon is meat candy.

I saw a TV ad for bacon, where the bacon said "I'm just like meat candy". I think advertisers read LoT for ideas!

And yes, bacon talks....

One of my new favorite items at TJ's. Makes for a nice supply of diced bacon bits in the freezer once I fry it up and drain it.

Snow, I do the same thing (only I get the cured smoked bacon ends from the meat department that are real cheep)! I keep them in the freezer, then slice some off, and put it back it the freezer. With the high fat content they don't freeze real hard, so it's easy to slice.

I use this where bacon lardons are required.

Thanks good! My butcher, alas, does not sell cheap bacon ends and pieces. The TJ's is $2.99 and I figure that is still a good deal.
