Bacon!

[Obsessed]

I may be mistaken, but it appears that there is not a thread here in the Mess Hall dedicated entirely to bacon - the Official Animal Product Not Contained in a Shaving Soap of B&B.* This strikes me as wildly inappropriate, so please proceed to discuss your likes and dislikes (hypothetically) when it comes to bacon.

*This "official" designation is unofficial.

I didn't do a search to link it in here, but I see bacon just about everywhere I go on this forum. Bacon.... Yummmmmmmmm!

I love me some bacon! This weekend I did jalapenos stuffed with sausage, sauted celery and onions, cream cheese and spices wrapped in bacon and then smoked on the Big Green Egg. Nothing like sausage wrapped in bacon.

I like my bacon battered and deep fried.

Thanks for starting this thread! Especially since it's just about the season for bacon nog.

It is good but looks and tastes more like a fatty, grilled ham steak.

I gotta put my plug in for Theilens bacon in Pierz, MN. Not only is it amazingly inexpensive $3.99/lb it's darn good and even Martha Stewart and the NYT agree

I just noticed the Wild Turkey in the background.

As Scotty said, "lad, you're going to need something to wash that down with."

Do we really need yet another bacon thread?

Well, I honestly thought that given all the bacon craziness around here, there should be a thread about the actual food here in the Mess Hall. And despite my various jokes in the thread, I'm actually interested in what kind of bacon people like and how they like to cook it.

The short answer to your question is probably "no," but what can it hurt?

There's Bacon in this Thread

Oh, please tell me Good Sir where I may be able to purchase such a delectable delight.

I keep thinking it would be cool to make my own Bacon. Got to figure out where I can get my hands on a unprocessed pork belly in the local area.

I might start with trying to make some peameal bacon. Sounds like a good Christmas time project.

There is nothing about Bacon I don't like in all its varietes including Unto; salt pork; Canadian; lacon Hmmmmmmmmm!

I found a particularly good bacon from a butcher at Cygnet, Tasmania (.au) - free range pork, natural wood smoke. The texture of the bacon out of the pack is pretty much the same as a (thinly sliced) raw pork chop, instead of like ham. It's not insanely salty or fatty either, and tastes fantastic on toast with a couple of eggs.

My hope is that one day they discover that bacon is actually good for you, and that it should be eaten at least once a day. I just hope that it happens in my lifetime.
