So there you are, eating your delicious bacony repast, including bacon, eggs, sausage, and toast, all sprinkled liberally with bacon salt for extra bacony goodness because – well, bacon. When you’re done though you’ve probably got bits of bacon and bacon-flavoured things stuck in your teeth, but you don’t want to lose that bacony aftertaste with some minty floss.
Solution? Bacon Floss! Now you can pick smoked pork and smoked pork-flavoured foodstuffs from your teeth with the goodness of smoked pork-flavoured string!
Now they just need to finally come out with a bacon-flavoured toothpaste.
I simply do not understand the US obsession with bacon and pork. To me, it’s kind of the lesser cousin of the flesh world, ranking after beef, chicken, and fish.
Sitting here eating some Mo’s Bacon Bar, I could use some floss for the little bits. Actually, in all honesty, the bacon and chocolate combination is very good. Not worth $5.99 (what I paid at World Market) but still good.
I had this first, not as an obsession with bacon, but while visiting SE Asia. Extremely tasty. They also have fish floss, also very yummy. It’s nothing new there though, they’ve been eating it for ages.
I know it sounds kind of weird, especially fish floss. But once you try it you understand.
There’s an Indonesian street dish, can’t remember the name, that consists of all different things, veg curies, etc, around a large serving of rice, always topped with a fried egg, sunny side up and a little fish floss to the side. Some of the ingredients change from location to location, but it’s always rice, curries, egg, floss. Oh, and it’s extremely yummy, very cheap and available everywhere.
Litoris - I’m all about the sweet 'n salty thing sometimes - I love chocolate-coated salty pretzels, and Nature Valley make an awesome sweet & salty granola bar – but I don’t think I’d really be up for chocolate bacon. Meat … and chocolate. There’s just something unholy about that union.
Heff - I figured I’d jump back in on Monday, when there’s a fresh new MMP to stick my face into so I don’t have to wade through this entire week’s postings.
As for my excuse, I was … uh … spending a couple of months dead for tax purposes.
Elbows - Egg topping seems to be a common theme in Indochinese cuisine. Every Vietnamese Pho joint I’ve been to has any number of dishes with an egg on top. But I love it just the same.
