Bacon

there's an awesome restaurant around here called Mike's Place and I've been going there pretty much every thursday for a couple months now for lunch with some of my friends because on thursday they have a special for an awesome bacon cheeseburger for $3. oh man is it bacony goodness. 
I noticed that someone mentioned fake bacon, the soy based kind, and i use it on sandwiches because it's alot better for you than eating the real thing and as far as i'm concerned the taste is close enough to the real thing considering how much better it is health wise.

Here in the Land Of Excellent Produce we often add fresh Avocado (BLAT) and chase it with a good local beer.

This may or may not help... you might want to look up Irritible Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I have the same problem. You might have problems with Whole grains and whole wheat as well. Basically any food that is difficult to break down.
High fat, high fiber, caffeine, etc are all bad.
I dont know how missed this thread.. but now i have a hankering for some widowmaker mashed potato...
i could write for days about bacon but........no. i like it either really thin so it's crispy but not crunchy(paradox, sure, but wtf) or thick cut so it's crispy outside chewy inside. love it by itself slice after slice after slice until you can feel it slide down your throat...or on pizza. the white sauce kind o' course. you dont know until you've had it...oh yeah...
also good with avocadoes and frisee and not-too-much-mayo on thick bread preferably white. i cant stand iceberg but frisee's just so un-lettucy yet so lettucy it's the perfect sandwich green...bacon wrapped around sausage is okay but the bacon doesnt crisp right-maybe im using the wrong sausage? jimmy dean for me-not a sausage purist. take bacon and sugar it up before frying there's nothing quite like sweet bacon. i could go on forever but not at the time...im gonna go eat bacon on toast with scrambled eggs and grape jelly
btw, ever see the simpsons where he prays for everything and gets fudge bacon?

If you like the bacon flavor, but don't want as much fat, you can try what I do when I am making bacon for salad.MrMacman said:
I fry the bacon until it is lightly done.
Then I put the bacon in a bowl of warm water and sort of wash it gently.
Then I dry it off, and fry it again
If it is real fatty, I repeat the washing process. Otherwise, I just cook until the desired level of crispness.

Gladly. I love bacon. If they made bacon gum, I'd chew it. My wife tries to slip me turkey bacon. Ach! GAG.
I made a great pasta dish from Spaghetti, Fried Breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, and (not least) SAUTED PANCETTA! Heaven!
mmm...panchetta...not quite as good as regular bacon but tastier. bacon's goodness comes from the whole experiencewowser said:

Try Kimchee breath. Much stronger and way more effective!

I don't want to leave you with the wrong idea.homerjward said:
Personally, I eat bacon straight (fried).
However, some of my friends prefer a less fatty version, which is why I went to that method. If you do it correctly, it still tastes pretty good. If you wash it too much, it tastes terrible. That is why I said sort of wash. Maybe the term slighly stir would be better. The key is to get the excess fat off of the bacon before you do your final fry.
Next day/Morning kimchee breath is even better.homerjward said:
More curred if you will!

fried in butter with garlic - awsome taste.
