Grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon salt! I thought of that one earlier, when I realized I hadn’t had a grilled cheese sandwich in a very long time. ---

I don’t make mayonnaise from scratch very often, but when I get my Bacon Salt, that will change. With all the meat being baconed up, there will be leftovers for sandwiches, and a bacon-meat sandwich with bacon-flavored mayonnaise sounds almost as good as sex. But shrimp and asparagus flash-sauteed with bacon salt and a bacon salt garlic-wine sauce over fresh handmade pasta including just a touch of bacon salt… and Sex is getting nervous. 😃 ---

I told my mother about the Bacon Salt today and she seemed unimpressed. She said she doesn’t really care much for bacon! I told her, what if you put it in won-tons instead of salt? Oh, well, that might be good. What if you put it in mashed potatoes? Oh, yes, she could see that. What about french fries?! Maybe… Hashbrowns! Tomato sandwiches! MARGARINE! Finally, she seemed to get the point. I can’t wait until my sampler gets here. Bacon Salt is further proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Mmm. Bacon and beer. ---

I hate to be a party pooper, but you can make this product in your home. Buy a bottle of Imitation bacon bits (3ozs.–made with soy flour-- entirely kosher and vegetarian.)… Blend in a coffeee grinder or blender with about ten ounces of plain (not iodized) Morton Kosher Rock Salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar. Add pepper if you’d like. Grind to desired coarseness. There’s your pork Belly. ---

[QUOTE=Leaffan] I don’t get the excitement, personally. 😕 You want all of your food to taste like bacon? [/QUOTE] No, just most of it. 😃 Seriously, though, if it turns out to be any good, it’s a godsend for those of us who, for one reason or another, can’t or don’t eat bacon, but who still wish they could. I can’t eat bacon because of the high fat content, and I’m sharing a house with two vegetarians. But we all love bacon, and the minute I looked at their web site, I went, “Wow! What a great idea!” and ordered one of each. ---

Actually, cut the salt by about half…use six ounces of salt instead of ten for that bacony resonance. ---

Try it with grilled fish, too. For a few years now one of Tom Douglas’ restaurants (the Palace Kitchen) has occasionally served grilled trout with bacon salt, which I’m reasonably certain is just finely-ground salty bacon. The first time I saw it on the menu I was all, like, " 😕 Bacon salt? What’s that?" To which the reply was “Bacon. Salt.” ---
