A serious question for all of you baconiacs. How salty does this stuff taste? Is it on par with garlic salt or is the salt aspect more subtle? ---

[QUOTE=chowder] I’ve followed this thread right from the off. I hate all you buggers out there with bacon salt, I really do. We demand it becomes available in the UK 'cos I aint paying a fortune to have it shipped only for the postie to nick it. I f just one of you had a heart you’d offer to mail me some in return for some of our excellent British chocolate [/QUOTE] I’d be willing in exchange for chocolate but I don’t have my bacon salt yet and I don’t think shipping chocolate to Florida in August would work out well for me. But if you still don’t have your bacon salt by Autumn, let me know. ---

I ordered three 3-packs and only received one. When I emailed them about the mix-up, they immediately mailed out three more 3-packs. They even express mailed them! I love these guys. ---

I used it last night on hash-browned potatoes, and today in a zucchini-tomato saute. I’m beginning to wonder if there’s anything that bacon salt can’t improve upon. This is gonna make great stocking stuffers at Christmas. ---

I was just thinking we could get a bunch of orders together for **chowder** : send him over 15 packs of Bacon Salt, and let **chowder** dispense them around to other UK dopers. That’d make one giant pile of overseas shipping, rather than 15 largeish piles. How many UK dopers would want in on that? How many AU/NZ, for that matter? ---

OK- my order came today, just in time for dinner. I had made corn bread muffins to go with dinner- spread with a little butter and a liberal sprinkling of Bacon Salt- and YUM!!! ---

The Bacon Salt Trinity arrived today _chez_ Hometownboy and smacking of lips was heard in the land. Mrs. HTB cooked us a gorgeous ham and cheese omelet with hickory flavored highlights, and it fulfilled expectations. “These will be great for Christmas” she said, unaware that many Dopers had already come to that conclusion. Great minds, etc. I can also report that original flavor does wonders for soyburgers, which is good news for me. I will be sharing the story with my Weight Watchers group. ---

My wife puts up with my little foibles. Thank goodness. She supported my decision to endulge in some BaconSalted goodness, but was resistant to the idea. Friday night I cooked some Pork Loin Chops, (as I think I mentioned). “Delicious!” she declared. “BaconSalt!”, I riposted. The look of mixed annoyance (for being right), horror (that she had eaten the BaconSalt at all) and admiration (for my nicely timed counterattack) was truly soemthing to remember. ---
