Bacon

And now there is an iOS app:

‎Bacon – The Game

‎Put bacon on E V E R Y T H I N G ! Have you ever tried bacon on... ... ice cream? ... Piña Colada? ... the United States of America? from the creator of "Pancake – The Game" and "Burger – The Game"

BTW … welcome this thread into 2021.

And by bacon, I assume that this thread also allows for the inclusion of such gustatory wonders as Iberico or Parma, or Serrano ham....

Yeah, there's no such thing as low sodium bacon.

Absolutely. There is Dangerously High Sodium Bacon and Sodium Reduced 33% less Dangerous Bacon.

Time to stock up.

Time to stock up.

Dare you to put all of that on and go out on a safari. 😜

BL.

It would be the snappiest safari ever.

I happen to tune into America's Test Kitchen and they had just finished up their tests of some bacon brands. Now I like bacon once in awhile, I would pay $6-$8 per pound, they brand they liked was $28 per pound! What the hell can you do to bacon to make it worth $28 per pound?

Bacon has actually seriously gone up in price over the past 6-8 weeks. For example, at our local Sam's Club, I used to be able to purchase 2 pounds of applewood smoked bacon for roughly $17, or $13 if it were on sale. At one warehouse, the current price for that same 2-pound package is $25, while at another, it is at $32.

And this has nothing to do with grass fed versus corn fed, etc. I don't know what's going on, but it is going on.

BL.

The rhinos might treat me like a bacon-flavored bubble.

It's a combination of a low supply (because production slowed during the pandemic and has yet to catch up again), new or upcoming restrictions on farmers, and possibly also price-fixing by the four largest meat-packing companies.

Oh! Bacon is everything! I don't know if there is anything that doesn't go with bacon. My son eats a bacon sandwich every day for breakfast at his school. He's a regular bacon fiend, and I love it! LOL!

Ah, bacon, the ultimate health food.

Nothing says that the bacon bandages (image above) has the same aromatic properties as the bacon air freshener. But, if they do, I'm sure that promotes faster healing. Wait for it...

It cures better!

I have finally found a place where I belong. Bacon air spray and a bacon butte for breakfast or any other meal(a buttered roll with Bacon)

I spotted this on the wall of a restaurant:

Between my wife and I, I’d bet we have eaten less than a pound of bacon in the last 10 years. Really don’t like it. And that’s due to the fact it is greasy as hell and makes a mess any time you eat it.

 

[Gregg2]

I didn't know bacon was a laxative. (papaya, on the other hand...)

Oh, wait. You mean it makes a mess any time you cook it.

I saw a lady comedian on Netflix. The way to interest a man (men are very simple), food - instead of perfume, apply some bacon grease behind one's ears.

Bacon solves just about every problem.

Bad news from the doctor, got a speeding ticket, lost your job, house burned down, overdrawn?

Cook some bacon. Profit.

I love the taste of bacon but stopped long ago. Known health issues, but once in a while in moderation, I say.

 

[JBGoode]

Wow, a thread about bacon - I ate a whole package of 'real bacon bits' (meant for salad) standing in front of my fridge last night. I was looking for a snack and grabbed those to taste a couple and next thing you know......it was probably 3-4 strips worth. Delicious.

The package tells you what you ate. Maybe it won't say how many "strips" of bacon (thin sliced, thick?) but the sodium, cholesterol, etc. Delicious, for sure, also (obviously) not a healthy snack. Stop doing that!

Honestly it would be better to fry up a few actual bacon strips rather than just chow down on that stuff. BTW "facon" (vegan bacon substitute) = no. Most fake meat is meh, I have tried a few that are quite tasty though.

White bread, butter and bacon, a great sandwich any time.
