Bacon is meat candy. - Page 77

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.

Succumb to the power of Bacon. Resistance is futile.

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.

Alex, come to the dark side- we have bacon!

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.

They've had them for months out this way.

What's keeps making news out here are Carl's super stupendous fat o-plenty monster burgers and how much moola the company is making by selling them. (We don't have Carl's round here. In fact we don't have whattabuger, Jack's, or In and Out's either)
