I am very sad to report that, due to Barry Bonds mania last night, they put some weird restrictions in place at Dodger Stadium that prevented me from wandering between levels. Since I had Top Deck seats, I could not get down below where the garlic fries were, despite my protests to the ushers. _sigh_ I may not have that particular opportunity again for a month or so. My apologies. I did try Bacon Salt on a Dodger Dog, but I was having a very hard time finding a balance between too little and too much. I think my disappointment at not being able to have bacony garlic fries caused me to lose focus on properly seasoning the dog. Until next time… ---

They came, they came, today is a good day!. There is bacony goodness in my kitchen. Cottage Cheese with original – pretty good. Fried eggs with pepper – Wonderful!! Light dash of original on tossed salad – I need more salad makings due to this being so good! ---

Mine came today too. I smelled bacon as soon as I opened the box! I sprinkled the original flavor on potato salad and cherry tomatoes. Excellent. Subtle, but still bacon-y. I’ve tried other seasoning salts, where even a little bit can be overpowering. ---

Whoever suggested the original on peanut butter toast? Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just a light touch of bacony goodness makes it absolutely _incredibly_ delicious. I normally don’t like anything else with peanut butter except dark berry jam, but for bacon salt? I’m _totally_ making an exception. Plus it has the added bonus of the heavenly bacony aroma torturing my dogs, who can’t understand why Mama is eating bacon and they don’t get any. 😃 ---

I’m finally going to succumb to temptation and order my three-pack. I had just taken a package of Real Bacon (Naturally Hickory Smoked) out of my freezer the day this thread was started and thus my need has not been as great. When my order arrives, however, I will be able to report on how Bacon Salt works on tomatoes immediately after they are picked off the vine. ---

Well, I went to the mailbox, hoping that there’d be a package of bacon salt waiting for me, and the mailbox was empty! :eek: Except for a box of bacon salt! 😉 bacon bacon bacon [Billy] It’s partially hydrogenated! [/Billy] ---

[QUOTE=Kat] Now I wonder…is there a Sausage Salt or a Ham Salt out there? [/QUOTE] Seriously, you could probably take some [Ham base](http://www.easycoffee.com/fabrhamb.html) and dry it into a granulation in a food dehdsrator or low oven and make a Ham salt. You might not even need the salt, as Ham base is rather salty.
