Fuzzy14 clearly knows his Goonery!

For those who don't know, it's a quote from an old radio show called the Goon Show. Play the clip from 0:47 to 1:08.

From the transcript:
What's become of that crispy bacon we had before the war, eh? What's become of it? So brown. So crisp. With that lovely firm layer of white fat. Ooh. What's become of it, eh? Answer me! What's become of that crisp bacon we had before the war? Don't laugh. Answer me!​

Bacon Ipsum

Who's ready for a bacon talk generator? Check out this sample that it generated:
Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet incididunt dolore tri-tip ut swine. Tail ut ad ham cillum beef. T-bone sint duis, ad exercitation ut id ribeye corned beef shankle meatball elit. Veniam venison voluptate, velit reprehenderit pastrami cow biltong pork belly quis t-bone. Cupidatat venison biltong, boudin exercitation brisket ad pork belly eu et adipisicing. Bacon rump andouille jowl tempor culpa. Et pork belly andouille, jerky eiusmod ham hock dolore nostrud cupidatat eu dolor sed labore voluptate.​
I think I'll use Bacon Ipsum to produce all of my forum posts from now on. :)

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers (stuffed with cheese) :eek:

These are so good! and so hot!
Next 'carne asada' or barbecue, try these. All you need to do is slice the side of the pepper open, stuff it with cheese, wrap a slice of bacon around it and gently place it on the grill.

I get the big jalapeños not the thinner ones pictured. Also make sure you take out all the seeds before you add the cheese. Make sure to wash your hands for a few minutes after handling the seeds - you don't want that in your eye. The bacon will stick to the jalapeño but you can add wooden toothpicks. I used 'queso fresco' it's a Mexican cheese that doesn't melt too quickly but you can obviously use any kind.

Those are one of my favorite snacks!

Now that I think about it I have a couple pounds of bacon in the fridge, jalenpeño peppers growing in the garden, and a near endless supply of cheeses in my fridge.

I know what I'm having for breakfast!

Bacon is so amazing... I can't believe I JUST found out that Costco has Kirkland (Costco's home brand) bacon. Comes in a big bag. Pre-cooked. You can just pull it out of the fridge and eat, and eat, and eat more... <3

I can't stand belly/stripy/american bacon unless it's very lean. At my grocery I will go through a ton of packages to find the one or two that is not streaked with fat. Back bacon is much better tasting to me, especially wiltshire bacon. I love the taste of bacon, i just don't like the taste of all the fat. Same thing with steaks, I don't like the rind of fat on the steak. I'd always cut it off and give it to my brother when we were kids. I choose the leanest cut possible and literally sear it. While preparing roasts or brisket I always eat a good bit of it raw, just sprinkle with salt and fresh black pepper. No better taste.
