Bacon

I was watching Top Gear last night and as a Christmas gift one of them received a bacon air freshener for their car. (Available on Amazon!)
Wow, this must be one of the longest-running threads around.
On that note, I just ordered for my brother as a Christmas gift bacon-flavored popcorn, and my favorite, Bacon Fizzy Drink Tablets.
No, I've never tried them, I got them because we have a saying in my family:
Anything tastes better when dipped in chocolate and/or wrapped in bacon.
Now our goal is to see if there's anything that's not made better by the presence of bacon. I have a feeling the drink tablets are a bit past that line.
BTW, both of those are from ThinkGeek.com.

This item has probably the most amusing product reviews ever...
This guy REALLY is serious about his smoked meats
I was watching the news the other day as people here in Chicago were gearing up for Snowmageddon 2011 and they were interviewing people going to the grocery store for supplies at the last minute.
Most people were stocking up on the basics - water, milk, bread, rock salt - but not one guy. His response?
"I'm picking up some bacon."
"Bacon?"
"Yep, how am I supposed to be able to shovel if I haven't eaten a hearty breakfast with bacon?"
Right on.

A new fave..... Bacon and jalepeno wrapped around a prawn. GOOD STUFF!
The saltiness of the bacon works nicely with the heat from the jalepeno. I need how to figure out how to make the prawn a bit more flavorful, but overall a good appetizer!

I've got canned bacon from ThinkGeek. Haven't been brave enough to open it yet. I don't dig super fatty bacon, but if it's 50% lean or better, that'll do. I love cooking bacon in a frying pan, then frying eggs in some of the leftover grease. So delicious.

My gf is a vegetarian & I'm not allowed bacon.
Gone are the days of the fat splattered work tops...the scent of frying swine engulfing the house & waking you from your slumber...that first bite of salty, tender meat in those butterey blankets of toast...and not to forget, the unmistakingly essential accompaniment...ketchup!
Salivating hard right now...
Life ain't fair...

Love it. The bacon thread enters its 7th year.
Not allowed? Sounds like some great relationship you got there.

Agreed. My wife's vegetarian, I always cleaned up after cooking it, as it's not fair for her to have to deal with the grease, but I was never not allowed to eat the stuff. The cost to me was she wouldn't kiss me afterwards.
My problem now is that just over a week ago I started following a vegan diet. I miss bacon the most.
Excuse me, what? If you're not a vegetarian, you should be eating what you want. Tell her you're eating bacon. If she doesn't like it, dump her immediately. That's ridiculous.
Ya know what my response to that would have been? "Fine, I'll go kiss someone else." I'm not kidding. That's just stupid. The devil will be wearing ice skates before I ever put up with that from a BF.
Well, you did that to yourself.
"So, S-mac-k, why did you and your girlfriend break up?"
"Bacon."
It's more about one person trying to control another. It's wrong and inconsiderate. If she wants to date a vegetarian, she should go find one, not insist her BF do what she tells him.
My relationship has compromises in it, in both directions.
True, and it was my decision, mostly for health reasons. I'll probably start eating bacon occasionally again after a few months.
There's lots of good turkey bacon options out there that actually taste really good.
Just curious- what do you refuse to kiss her for doing?
There's good vegan bacon too.
