[QUOTE=Tristan] 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. [/QUOTE] Hahaha! Always fun to sneak the pork (flavor) into the wife. ---

I checked my bank balance and decided that even though I have some bills to pay I’d go ahead and order a couple 3 packs. I’m tired of having my bacon salt vicariously, soon I will be one of the cool kids. I got the second 3 pack for a gift. ---

I know I’ll eventually have to order some… sigh. I do love bacon. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] Adding Bacon Salt to the breading for Fried Chicken. [/QUOTE] Just reporting back on this one: In one word? Mother effing awesome!! As I said before, I seasoned the (very thin) breast chunks with Hickory Bacon Salt (may the Gods of bacon salt be praised) and then did the standard breading. I was hoping that by stashing the Bacon salt under the breading I could avoid the heat degradation mentioned above. Worked like a charm. The bacon flavor wasn’t overpowering, but a perfect background note. The SO, who was initially skeptical (Heretic! But I have deferred the ritual burning at the stake), loved it. An admission, I have taken to delivering a shot of Bacon Salt directly into my mouth on occasion as I walk through the kitchen. Anyone else not able to keep their hands off the stuff? ---

[QUOTE=Fish] How many UK dopers would want in on that? How many AU/NZ, for that matter? [/QUOTE] You know they’re not connected, right? 😛 This is great, though. A wonderful story about how the internet and a special bacon-flavored something is bringing people together. I had some of mine on broccoli last night, and it was awesome. I also had some off of my finger, which was nearly as awesome. Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon ---

I used the original twice today, once with pasta carbonana, and once with baked chicken. Both are very VERY tasty! 😃 ---

Popped some BaconSalt in my mashed potato’s, and it was the best mashed potato’s ever. The glowing nimbus of awesome surrounding the spuds made it hard to eat, but I managed it. Tomorrow night, I’m panfrying some chicken. I think I’m gonna do the baconsalt trick. That sounds great. I’m gonna have to order some more, I think. ---

I’ve tried it on cottage cheese and salad. I can report that both are excellent. Couldn’t say which flavor I tried; I just grab whichever is at hand. ---

At the risk of outing myself as one of the few who does not yet have my threepack… Someone, please, sprinkle some on half of an avocado, savor with a spoon, and then report back to us.
