The wonders of bacon never cease!

A bacon sandwich really is a hangover cure!

Nice to have scientific backing for something I’ve known for decades. Make it a BLT with a ton of mayo and it will cure mange.

Damn! Now I remember what I was going to have for lunch today. I knew there was something I really wanted, but I just couldn’t remember what it was, so I ended up having a bagel with hummus (they were giving out free hummus on the street this morning).

What I really wanted was this great pear salad with blue cheese and bacon.

I’m actually a bit confused by that. It seems to say carbs and proteins are the key to hangover recovery. Um, bacon isn’t exactly the most efficient delivery of protein. It would seem that a chicken breast sandwich (or similar) would be far, far more desirable.

What am I missing? Or, fuck, just a protein shake with sugar. I don’t see anything special about bacon here.

Their explanation is bunk. Bacon has magical properties. It’s as simple as that.

Bacon makes you want to eat it. Loss of appetite is common for the severely hung-over, so that gets them to actually eat the sandwich.

You know what I want?? I want bacon VODKA or something that will get me drunk and be its own hangover cure. Maybe if I put some cooked bacon in a bottle of vodka and let it sit for a month my wish will come true.

I want that, and a BLT. RIGHT NOW!!! AND LATER!!! And FOR BREAKFAST!!

I am so asking for exactly that for my birthday.

My texts to MrTao just now:

I know what I want for my bday, and christmas, and all the time. Bacon vodka, so I can make a bacon martini and eat a blt with it.

Also to dip the blt into the bloody mary.

Also to gargle with it. And use it for mouthwash

And bathe in it.

Oooh, found a review for that vodka…

Bakon VodkaHaving recently tasted some flavor infused vodkas made by other distillers that ranged from disgusting to nasty, I approached this bottle with great trepidation. This could either be really horrible or really wonderful. Off came the cap and to my nose’s surprise, there was the pleasant aroma of bacon. I mean real bacon, not some chemically created concoction that attempted to simulate bacon but real bacon. Being Polish, in every sense of the word, I poured a shot, shouted Na Zdrowie! to no one in particular and tossed it into my mouth meaning to immediately swallow it, as tradition demanded, when I stopped, swirled it around, and was amazed at the mouthfeel. It was warm and had more substance than just vodka alone, and it actually tasted like the bacon I had last Sunday morning! It also reminded me of smoked pork. Swallowing it clinched the deal. It was among the smoothest vodkas I have ever had with absolutely no bite. A second helping confirmed my initial reactions.-George’s Rants Food & Beverage World

Hey, I’d be the first to celebrate if it were true, to be able to combine two of my favorite things in life – booze and bacon – but that news article provides ZERO evidence to back up the assertion.

Sorry to be such a downer, but that article is worthless as presented. Maybe I need a drink. A bacon martini?

God damn. I will never understand the bacon meme. I like bacon. It’s good. But it’s not great or transcendent or anything like that. I could name at least two dozen other foodstuffs I find more alluring that bacon. Bacon is just salt, fat, smoke, and curing flavor.

Heresy! Begone! Darken the door no more! Bacon rulez!

You know what’s better than bacon? Pretty much any kind of sausage.

And this is where I am supposed to put on a costume and shout “Splitter!” at you.

Look, I like bacon. It just ain’t all that.

OK, I went and bought this last night. Holy cow…or pig…it tastes like bacon! The website has a few recipies for drinks, but it also mentions using it as a marinade which is interesting. I need to buy some Clamato now.
