oh man.... *grumbles*

But... but... it's SALAD!

Holy shit.

There needs to be a Nobel Prize in food, and whoever invented that should get it every year until he dies.

Good God, the filling possibilities are endless.  Melted cheese in a bacon bowl?

Ahem. Bacon salt.

This is good. But could be better.

What's better than bacon? More bacon, with salt.

I was thinking scrambled egg might just be the perfectly simple complement.

How about bacon in a bacon bowl?

Yum.

With bacon salt.

I think I might be preaching to the choir about this product.

I think I know what the hors d'oevres at the May F13 meetup are gonna be.  :drill:

Disgusting.

Mostly because that looks like cold and hardened.

I like a cold, hardened bacon.  They're exotic and mysterious.

Bacon is bacon.  Its all pink.

You sound like a certain manwhore friend of mine.

Speaking of bacon, can someone tell our neighbors to the north that their so called 'Canadian bacon' isn't really bacon?  :oh_i_see:

I'm thinking an omelete wrapped in a crepe stuffed in a bacon bowl topped with hash browns and covered with syrup.

Goddamn that looks good.

You shut up.  Don't tell us what is and isn't bacon.  If we call something bacon, it's goddamn bacon.

Those bacon cups, BTW, are absolute genius. I am in awe.

Yummy bacon:  :eat:

Why the fuck was this one of the first images to come up on a search for 'Canadian bacon'?  :headscratch:

(http://members.cox.net/kendelgado/HBSunday2SPF/PICT0072.jpg)

It's not often referred to as "Canadian Bacon" in Canada, that's what you Americans call it for some reason.  We normally just call it back bacon or peameal bacon.

I imagine it's sort of like how people in Scotland don't usually call whisky scotch, they call it whisky.

I'm pretty sure it's can still happily be called Scotch in Scotland as they still get whiskey and other foreign sourced stuff there.

Please refer to my previous post.

I think the non-Scotch whiskey is known as 'shite'.

If only we had someone from Scotland for an authoritative answer.  :cry:

I think there are still a strangely large number of Scots on this board.  We did lose the grumpiest one, though.   :cry:

Nobody answered when I asked in the other thread, where'd he go?

Now that everybody mentioned it I'm curious too. The tears frighten me.

I don't know where he went.  Someplace else, I reckon.

Maybe vacation.

Fuck people, we call it Back Bacon. We use it as a substitute for ham in fried situations, like on an eggs benny for example. We call side bacon...  Bacon!

Since we are discussing bacon, I will chip in my opinion on it: No one ever cooks it enough. If I pick up a piece by one end, it should not bend. It should be crispy, but not quite burnt.

I like it cooked well, but within bending parameters, bonus if juicy.

Extra Crispy here.

Charcoal.  If I drop my bacon, it better shatter.

You crazy Canadians and your pretend bacon!   :rofl:

I had a bacon sandwich before bed last night.

The dreams.  Holy shit.

I have no standards for bacon, besides being cooked over 140F. I'll wrap bendy bacon around crisp bacon and sprinkle crumbs of burnt bacon over the top.

I told my fiancee she needs to have supper with me every night. I cook normal stuff when she's around. When it's just me I cook stuff like a bacon-topped rib steak with pan sauce and pepper jack cheese. It's carnivore night!

In what way is bacon-topped rib steak with pan sauce and pepper jack cheese not normal?  :eat:

Why does the maple bar with bacon from Voodoo Doughnuts sound appitizing right now?

Ah, shit. That's what I forgot. The Vermont Grade B syrup "gravy".

Because this thread reminds you that bacon makes everything better?

If we elected a strip of bacon to be president this election, all our nations problems would be solved by the end of the first day.

Is Chuck Norris made out of bacon?

No, bacon is made out of pure Chuck Norris.

You say that like there is ever a time it doesn't sound appetizing. It is all I can do to keep my wife from hopping in the car and driving to Portland every weekend just to have one.

First Chunk Norris joke that ever made me laugh a little :)

Is Chunk Norris made out of bacon which is made out of Chuck Norris?

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, sprinkled with bacon salt and forged in the backfat of a paradox.

The actual sight of one was not appetizing to me when I was there. But the Crunch Berries donut....mmmmm. I think maybe bacon sprinkles would have gone well on it though.

Mmmmmm bacon.

True, they're ugly as sin but brother, are they good.

Heh....I printed out the linked page at the beginning yesterday to show our chefs. Our executive chef decided to make some miniature bacon cups with a southwestern egg souffle.

I did not get a chance to try them, but apparently they went over well with the "tasting department".

That's what people usually do with them (bake eggs in the cups).

A good idea just got better.  As long as they are mini, you could put more decadent fillings in.

Miniature bacon cups stuffed with crab meat.

They would make a nice crust for little quiches.

Clam chowder shooters.

They better make their way into a iron chef cookoff... insta-win.

Bacon hats. Plz send checks.

I dunno, I can see Morimoto filling them with squid eyes or something. Better to let that fat bastard Batali fill them with pancetta and guanciale or other cured meats. Never trust a skinny cook. 

If Batali made them, they would be prosciutto hammocks.




I kid, I love me some Mario.

Eh, we don't watch IC if Morimoto is on. He's a cool character, but the food is generally not to either of our liking.

 Behold.  (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2008/03/candied_bacon_i_1.html)

Some day, I hope to have the opportunity to throw a reference to "my charcutier" into a blog post.

I got to this (http://seriouslygood.kdweeks.com/2007/01/pancetta.html) from your link.  My grandmother and aunt used to make their own pancetta.  It really was Seriously Good.  I'm very tempted to give this recipe a go.
(http://seriouslygood.kdweeks.com/images/pancetta08%20400.JPG)

I am up for a lot of things, but home curing meat sounds like a quick way to end up in the hospital.

There's a fine line between delicacy and emergency.

People had to do it back in the day out of necessity though; I guess it's just a lost skill. I honestly wouldn't know how you actually cure meat.

Lots of salt and a cool dry place.  Smoke helps.

I really miss real Smithfield ham.

Did they change it? I get it here in Atlanta all the time.

Can not get it in Canada.

So I made some of these tonight.  Filled it with shrimp that was cooked in a lemon/butter sauce, then cut up.  Mixed the shrimp up with gouda cheese grits, with a bit of finely chopped onion.  Topped with Tony Chachere's Cajun Creole seasoning.

ZOMGGOOD.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Bacon cups sound great, but this could mean bacon would replace bread as the acknowledged vehicle for meat as cheese. This must not happen.

I, for one, will not let the holy trifecta of bread and meat and cheese be broken up by this imposter.

Shame on you all. Only bread can deliver the gooey mixture of meat and cheese to our gullets with both the capacity and absorbancy to make us all not look like slobs. Only bread can sufficiently mop up the greasy gravy from the side of the bowl to minimize waste. Only bread can give us the squishy contrast to the tough yet tasty bacon, and the slimy yet satisfying texture of melted cheese.

Heretics. Misguided sheep. Beware the bacon cup, it consists of heart attacks and a culinary false prophet.

Bacon is at least three of the major food groups.

One of the best seasonings ever invented btw.

Oh yeah.  Goes on anything.  And it's awfully hard to use too much.

Eggs are especially good with it.

Tony's goes on any meat before it gets on my grill.

There are levels. It's not really difficult, but of course you want to watch out for rancidity when curing anything with fat.

Jerky, which uses lean meat, is extremely easy to cure and I've been making it since I was a kid. In fact, I need to make another batch soon.

This thread really doesn't help ppl that are on the edge of slipping from an good-to-ok-figure to oh-you-grew-a-belly-figure...

DO.WANT!

You should find Voodoolily's Snacktastic thread if you want to go from slipping to plummeting.

Oh, I already found it. And the only think stopping me from gaining like twice my actual weight in a very short time period is the fact that no one would cook me one of those holy grails of food. And I'm just too lazy.

But that Bacon Cup, well, doesn't seem to take a lot of time and the filling possibilities are ENDLESS  :drill:

Didn't know a gaming forum would trigger, did you?

I wonder what happens after she stays out for a day suntaning with that thing on.  :oh_i_see:

She smells like a sammich.

Cooked bacon is the shit.  Raw bacon is not the shit.  That is all.

Raw bacon will give you the shits.

The best part is that when cooked that bacon will shrink to half the size, so you get significantly more side-boob.  Cooked side-boob, though.  Probably not so sexy.

Breast meat doesn't have much flavor anyway, so it could use a little larding.

I have never agreed with you more.

manbutter?

Wouldn't improve flavor imo

are we still talking about sub-par tittehs?

wait wait wait

there are titties in this thread? all i saw was bacon

You are obsessed with bacon. 

sub-par tittles covered in bacon and manbutter?

Wait, what makes them sub-par?

If we are talking about Tara Reid, then the hatchet job by her plastic surgeon hurried them along the road to subpar and beyond.

Those tits looked fine to me.

Not Tara's.  The ones with the bacon.

The PBF art has gone downhill a bit, it seems.

Unless my memory is failing, that was a very early one.

That's actually an old one.

Also, Nicholas Gurewitch pretty much canceled PBF to work on other things.  He said he wasn't going to fully kill it, and that he would make new strips as he felt the need.  However, he's only added like, 3 strips in 6 months, so it's effectively dead.

I agree with Nebu.  I'm pretty sure that's instant death.

First installment of the bacon of the month club came the other day.... the applewood smoked bacon.  Now, I've had applewood smoked bacon before at delis and such.  But not like this.  Holy crap it was magical.  Super lean and the aftertaste was like a light, pleasant campfire smoke.  It's truly the best bacon I've ever had in my life. 

Is it worth $30 a lb?  Well, no.  I'm sure there's a butcher/deli in most major cities that can get similar meats.  It's hard to complain since it was a gift... I wouldn't personally buy it for myself as it's out of my price range, but if I had indispensable wealth I'd buy it weekly.
