mmmm bacon. . . best on a cheese burger. . . with extra cheese, bacon and oh yeah, jalapanos. . . . mmmmmm um i have to go now
Wow! They have songs about bacon on iTMS?
I'll have to get check that out.
I must admit, I'm a bad boy. I hab bacon for lunch yesterday again; that's twice in 3 days.
goes my heart goes my belly [goes to the gym to work out and regain a clear conscience. Nah, whocares?]
SmartDogs aren't bad. I'm not a big fan of mass produced meat dogs, so when I get a hot dog craving I tend to go veggie. None of the 'lips and a**holes' for me. I've read Sinclair's 'The Jungle'.
Bacon is the food of the gods.
If you want another book that shows the disguisting facts about food industries, check out Fast Food Nation. YUM.

I don't know if you'd want to eat an entire sausage made of bacon, but there's no reason you couldn't use lard or even bacon bits as flavoring if you made your own sausage. I've made pesto and pine nut sausages, and sausage with olives and sun-dried tomatoes, so it's certainly possible to stuff sausages with a filling containing bacon.
Hmmm, maybe a spinach and bacon and ground pork sausage with lots of red pepper flakes for heat sounds tasty come to think of it....
wow i cant beleive i didnt get a single subscriber email about this thread until NOW, even tho i had one of the first posts.
Anyone else reminded of the classic Duke Nukem Line?
"Makin BACON!"

I like Bacon even more than I like Spam (the mostly edible kind, not the electronic kind)! Unfortunately, Japanese hogs are fed fish, and so Japanese Bacon tastes like fish. Very disgusting!
And this is why I will never, ever visit Japan, despite my respect for and interest in many other aspects of Japanese life and culture: even the non-fish foods taste like fish! Bleccchhh!!!
(Needless to say, my grandparents--who both grew up on the beaches of Puget Sound eating all manner of things that came out of the water--disowned me long ago.)

But Makin' bacon usually means sex...

The favourite food of a one-time Jew
I was raised in a Jewish family, and though not orthodox, bacon was surely frowned upon. That said, my two favourite foods are bacon and lobster. I declared my athiesm around age 14. No God who created such delicious animals would forbid his chosen people from tasting them, unless he was a mean and spiteful god. So I remain athiest today and was thrilled to read this thread as I was eating a breakfast sandwich. Sadly, we are out of bacon and the ham had gone bad, so I was forced to eat a meatless breakfast sandwich. Oh the horror. Anyway, thanks for this thread and the interesting tales... And to the guy who mops up bacon grease with bread??? I hope you were kidding. Even my bacon fanaticism cannot support such gut-wrenching deeds... But every time I get rid of the grease, I'll always be tempted now... Curses.

My father used to recuperate bacon grease and keep it in the fridge. He used it as a substitute to butter when makin' eggs. He said it tasted better. Altough I just love bacon, I think it's a little too hardcore for me
Its a southern thing. You save the bacon grease for cooking other things. You have to be careful about frying with it since it has a low smoke point but there is nothing quite like hashbrowns fried in bacon grease...
Its also really good in beans. You can add a dollop of bacon grease to pinto beans as you are cooking them. Its also really great on green beans, better than butter.
Re: The favourite food of a one-time Jew
I've always wondered about this. Were the original prohibitions about eating pigs and other cloven-hooved animals based on practical health issues in ancient times? Were they based on the idea that the devil has cloven hooves? Are the prohibitions still observed today for the same reason, is it simply adherance to traditional habits, or are there other reasons? I'm not trying to pass judgement; I am truly curious.
Re: Re: The favourite food of a one-time Jew
It is mostly about avoiding eating animals that ate other animals. Pigs are omnivorous, most of the traife animals are omnivores or carnivores.
The seafood prohibitions also take care care of bottom dwellers (which can be rather nasty)
The meat and milk prohibition is based on 1 restriction repeated a few places (boiling the calf in its mother's milk) Which the canaanites did and then ate for symbolic reasons. Right next to that there is a prohibition of eggs and birds at the same meal.
There are some sanitary reasons for doing it. Trichinosis from pork, Hepatitis from shell fish. I think though that the Jews who observe, observe because they observe. They are God's chosen people and set aside. They have gone through a whole lot, where different cultures have tried to assimilate them and but by holding fast to traditions like this they have endured.

Stuff a pillow with bacon.
Use bacon grease instead of cologne.
I was thinking of this. I don't like most perfumes that women wear. The more edible ones are fine though, Almonds, vanilla, etc. I think I could go for a woman who smelled like bacon.
(cf. McDonalds commercial where the guy uses a burger wrapped instead of laundry sheet)
