The cheese that has sin in its very name!
Ah. Texas. No further explanation needed.
If Texas hadn’t come up with it, Wisconsin would have (though it probably would have been beer-battered, rather than chicken-fried).
And it tastes like sin. Delicious, delicious sin.
Third. I ordered this crap because of all the hype (something I usually never do), tried it, then it sat in the cupboard for several months until I threw it all away. Nasty chemical-tasting landfill.
I just had some bacon whiskey at lunch, actually. They basically just strain some bacon fat into the whiskey. Tastes like you would think it would. Thank god I didn’t have to pay for it. Bacon, stay out of my alcohol. This was at Frank in downtown Austin, if anyone is curious. I fully support every other drink and foodstuff on the menu.
To answer the OP: uh, no. Never.
Yeah, I don’t see it working in whiskey, but I did have a bacon martini a couple of years ago that was very good.
Bacon-infused vodka (the bartender determined that 72 hours was optimal for bacon flavor in the vodka), a skosh of maple syrup, dash of lime juice, and a slice of crisped pancetta for the garnish. I had one just to say that I did, and then promptly went back for another. It was really, really good (for those of you from Chicago, it was an Adam Seger creation. The man is a god with alcohol).
Around here the new thing is either offal meats or fried eggs.
There’s also the Bacon Bra.
One I heard recommended recently: Making macaroni and cheese with bacon instead of butter.
Asking if we’re done with bacon is like asking if we’re done with oxygen. Just because we don’t vocally obsess over it ALL the time doesn’t mean that it’s not the most perfect food ever made.
Of course. I was just asking about the Bacon Mania.
I’m think the ridiculous bacon products are starting to fade away, but these look delicious:
As an internet fad? Probably.
As a magnificent food? Never.
I have a half-eaten bag of Planter’s Smoky Bacon Peanuts in my office desk. I’m not in any real hurry to finish it.
I read an article about lamb bacon and I want to try some but I can’t find anyplace that sells it.
Do I eat less bacon than I did a year ago?
No.
Do I eat it in the preposterous concoctions of Bacon Mania?
No. Though my wife, a diabetic and what I used to think was a hardcore baconista, hasn’t served such concoctions, I’m “stuck” with fried rashers of bacon as what she feeds me when I’m on a diet. Poor me!
Some years back Consumer Reports, a magazine as devoted to willie wilting as any, tested bacons because, though it stands for everything the CI stands against, sometimes you need a little bacon.
At least you didn’t name yourself after it in some pathetic attempt to be accepted. (never tasted the stuff)
I hope bacon mania has run its course. I’m so over bacon.
ahahahahahaha
