Bacon

[cameraman]

I had a recipe described to me at a family gathering recently, asparagus spears wrapped in bacon and fried up.:saywhat:

They looked at me like I was truly deprived when I said that I had never heard of it...

[TravelGal]

It was right in front of me this whole time... so simple...

Clearly you were never a Girl Scout. ;) This was our version of pigs in a blanket. Staple of any good camp out. I see now that Pillsbury is trying to make the bready bit important but we only used whatever was at hand to keep the bacon grease from burning our fingers. The important part was the meat.

Oh, and we specifically had to have the bacon to make the fire go whooooooooosh! Really got the counselors on edge. heheheheh.

Our local arena announced that they are adding a BBBLT sandwich to the menu for this season's sports events & concerts. The sandwich will have bacon, pancetta, Canadian bacon, romaine lettuce and a tomato aioli on a French loaf.

It sounds yummy, if you don't mind that triple dose of cholesterol.

Pretty tough to drink straight, IMO, but it makes the best damned Bloody Mary ever. Substitute a sprig of lettuce for the celery and pour it up, you have a BLTini. :gomer:

The bacon-wrapped, deep fried hot dog has been around since forever. Or at least since I was a little kid. :gomer:

In Chicago, it's called a Francheezie, has cheese stuffed in it, is served on a toasted bun and is available at your friendly neighborhood Greek diner/pancake house.

Look into the whole "uncured" labeling. Things aren't always what they seem.

[Elmo T]

Look into the whole "uncured" labeling. Things aren't always what they seem.

I bought it, not because it is has less sodium nitrates (or different forms of) or purported healthy eating, but because they were out of the regular bacon. Uncured gets you a different batch of chemicals and a chance for botulism.

I've tried to slip in the regular bacon, but they know the difference. They prefer the taste of the uncured bacon.

Unless I rip out the kids' playset and building a pen for pigs, my bacon is going to have a few issues.

[chop456]

rip out the kids' playset and building a pen for pigs.

Very ambitious. Please send pics of the construction process. :D

I was very surprised to read about the whole celery juice/nitrates thing. So much for that. Give me nitrates or give me death! Or both. Either way.

[Elmo T]

Give me nitrates or give me death! Or both. Either way.

Yes - Bacon is not being cast as a health food.

Nutella never made the claim either, but you see what happened to them :rolleyes:

Burger King Bacon Sundae

The world's second biggest hamburger chain on Thursday is launching several pork, beef and chicken sandwiches as limited time offers. And for a sweet ending, the company is also offering a bacon sundae — vanilla soft serve with fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon — that started in Nashville, Tenn. earlier this year.

Forgot to post this, not entirely relevant though.

Go to google, type in a celebrity name followed by "bacon number". It will return the 6 degrees of Bacon number.


Mario Andretti's Bacon number is 3
Mario Andretti and James Garner appeared in Dust to Glory.
James Garner and John Lithgow appeared in The Glitter Dome.
John Lithgow and Kevin Bacon appeared in Footloose.


On topic, I went to a neighborhood diner a few years back around this time of the year. They had pumpkin gravy on the mashed potatoes. The only thing worse than pumpkin gravy, is the completely unanticipated surprise assault of pumpkin gravy.:yuck:

Never been back there, strangely enough.

No kidding. Milk just went over $4/gal here. Grocery prices are up at least 10% in the last year, as near as I can tell.

I've done the majority of our grocery shopping the past 20 years, and food prices have increased @ least 50% the past 5 years or so. Unless you buy on the few deals available, or use a loyalty card, costs are even worse. Milk has been one of the few items that hasn't increased as much over that time. It's a loss leader until now. :irked:
