What is it with bacon?? It is the culinary equivalent of Marilyn Monroe or something - on the white-trashy side of things, but you can’t NOT start drooling at the thought of…um…taking a bite?
Well, that analogy didn’t get me anywhere, did it?
or, to quote Cervaise: bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon

Oh, Lord, why must you torment me so…!
And I wonder if these guys aren’t going to be a victim of their own success. Based on the stampede in this thread alone, they’re gonna have to produce supertankers of this stuff every single week to keep up with demand. Just watch the estimated shipping times on the website start to climb…

They’d better be filling these orders in the order they got them or I’m gonna be pissed!

Dude! Just occurred to me: we can take this stuff to Dodger Stadium and have bacon-salted Dodger Dogs!

Harrisgrill sounds great but gives no indication of what city and state it’s in.
Man, I could eat crispy bacon and drink cold beer 'till the arteries clog up again.
Gotta have cheese fries with that too!!!
[/QUOTE]
Bacon and beer, IMHO were made for each other…
Jake, sorry, but we are in Pittsburgh. The other night, I must have eaten 2lbs of Bacon. They also do a wicked pork shank.
I’m ordering some of the salt and am going to blow their minds.

I can go buy some in person.
I think I’ll do that soon.

Oh snap! I ordered online without realizing that I can buy it, in person, about a block away from my office. I’m trying to get people wound up about a bacon salt-buying trip right now.

I don’t get the excitement, personally.
You want all of your food to taste like bacon?
[/QUOTE]
Okay, let me see if I can explain it to you.
You can make food… that is not bacon… taste like… bacon.
I hope that clears things up.
I’ve been thinking about this for the last couple of hours. I want to make eggs benedict with bacon-salted eggs and hollandaise seasoned with bacon salt.

My favorite breakfast is a bacon and cheddar cheese sandwich on toast. Sometimes I butter the toast. Sometimes I don’t toast it and use Miracle Whip instead. If there’s a tomato lying around, I’ll slice and add that too.
I shall see if I can do the same. And doesn’t that make you a cannibal?

And Hickory-Bacon-salted garlic fries!
O frabjous day!

Callooh! Callay! I’m stealing your idea.
I have to stop reading this thread, considering the minimum week I’m going to have to wait before I can act on these bacon-related fantasies. It’s torturing me!

One word: Awesome.
Baconated popcorn is my new favorite snack. Four our of four taste-testers in the office
agree that it is the atomic bomb of goodness.
Hickory: Bacony, with a nice smoky sweetness.
Peppered: Wow! Bacony, with, well, PEPPER.
Regular: Haven’t opened it yet. Bought it as a present for a favored co-worker.

You know, umpteen years ago, there was a thread that asked when you felt like you were truly a part of SDMB. Having brought the joys of Bacon Salt to this place, and now receiving confirmation that It Is Good – this is my time, right now. I belong.

What about the salt grain size? I imagined it to be coarse, similar to kosher salt, but is it?
How well does it simulate the taste of bacon? The attractiveness to me was the prospect of being able to add bacon flavor without actually cooking up bacon, and I was willing to take a flavor hit for the sake of convenience. There’s also the fact that it adds bacon flavor without adding fat.
So yeah, how’s the taste stack up to bacon, and what is the consistency of the salt?
Also, you’re totally awesome for providing a review for us.
