Just reporting in that the pepper variety makes an excellent dry rub for pot roast. The air in my kitchen is filled with bacony beefy goodness…Hallelujah!
A U.S. friend has just notified me that she is sending a care package of Bacon Salt over to the Big Rotten Onion, a.k.a. Moscow.
This is good. This is very good. I’ve actually been dreaming about the stuff. Repeatedly. But now I will get to spread the message of Bacon Salt to the Russians!
Here in the UK we wait patiently for bacon salt to arrive on our shores
I’m getting fed up of waiting
Send me a mailing address, and I’ll send you a package of all three flavors. I received a double amount by mistake. No need to send anything in return.
Oh Og.
Apparently the care package (which was ordered yesterday) has now arrived at my friend’s place in the U.S.
And of course she has opened it, and is letting me know via IM what it is like.
I am in an agony of anticipation here.
I’m beginning to think that Cervaise is actually the true Bacon Pope, and that he’s wielding all the power behind the scenes whilst I simply act as the public face of Bacon Salt.
Regardless, I think he’s already secured his place in Hog Heaven.
Oh, yes – I went there.
I butterflied and cooked a chicken breast last night. I was in a hurry and it was a thick breast hence why I split it, I had defrosted it a little in the microwave, thinner parts cooked a little and so I ended up with some “broth”. I liberally applied Peppered Bacon Salt to both sides and browned one side in a small amount of olive oil. It smelled like I was frying bacon. Then I flipped it and waited about a minute and added the broth left over from defrosting and covered it to steam a bit. The result actually tasted like it had been smoked, still good for a quick no frills meal.
I had also thrown some frozen peas in the remaining broth for a quick cook and they tasted nicely bacon smokey, too. I realized I didn’t add butter to them because they were great they way they were so I probably cut a few calories and fat as well.
Both yourself and Asimovians lady wife are my heroes
I added original Bacon Salt to a few pieces of toast and whizzed 'em in my Cuisinart as potato au gratin topping. It wasn’t a heavy taste of bacon but was definitely perceptible and quite delicious. I used Dubliner cheese from Trader Joe’s in my sauce if anyone is interested in the cheese angle (Cheese + Bacon = )
Tonight, peppered Bacon Salt pot roast - thanks, supervenusfreak!
Will you please be quiet please? (pace Carver) until I get my bacon salt?
I am suffering here!
I sprinkled Bacon Salt on my BLT.
It was awesome.
Tonite, I will be putting BaconSalt on a ham, turky, cheese and mayo sammich. I may also put some leftover bacon on the sammich (an odd thing, leftover bacon. Never had it before).
My son commandeered The Original, but I still have Peppered and Hickory.
He proclaimed it “Food of the Gods.” He said he’s going to bring it with when school starts in order to make the lunch room food palatable.
Why, yes, he is an Honor Student.
Well, I figured out why my chicken breast had a smokey flavor, apparently I picked up the Hickory flavor last night. I thought I read “Original”, darned eyes are going! Oh well, no problem, it was still good.
Tonight I had an omelet with (definitely) the Original and cheese. I was going to just have a quick TV dinner but I dropped my eggs when I came in the door with my groceries. And the omelet was yummy, of course.
I second anyone saying try it on any and everything. I make a kind of pot casserole on lazy days with Kraft mac and cheese, a can of tuna or salmon, and frozen veggies (and whatever else in the fridge looks like it would fit), and the bacon salt went lovely with this dish - tuna and bacon? Yup. I haven’t run into anything yet that it didn’t improve.
I’m going to tell everyone I know to buy some just because of the complete lack of ripping us off for shipping, though.
I made my fallback quick meal tonight. Meat cut into bite-size pieces and sort-of stir-fried with whatever veggies I have available, seasoned depending on my mood, served with pasta or rice. Tonight it was pork, green peppers, onions and mushrooms with pasta, and I decided to try it with Hickory Bacon Salt. Bacon and pork would seem overkill, but it was quite good.
As soon as I can, I’m gettin’ summa this dang salt. I worked in a kitchen one summer and one of the daily duties was to fry gobs of bacon for use on salads and sandwiches. Oh, how I miss that job!
All else aside though, it’s just slightly possible that bacon flavoring can be taken too far. Wait! Wait! Don’t light the torches yet! See for yourself here, then judge me. I haven’t actually tried the stuff, but I’m willing if I ever see it.
I just got this email from Bacon Love (recipes@baconsalt.com):
Wow! That sounds like something I would devour completely – we’ve been cooking up a storm lately and that’s definitely one we will use. Great job, and thanks for sending!
I posted the recipe in the (short-lived) Cafe Society Bacon Salt recipe contest thread, but will repeat the post here:
ok I dont know if anyone has posted this or is still interested but
the stuff is good, damn good.
but
it does take quite a bit to get good flavor, well compared to other seasonings anyway.
also it contains WHEAT, MILK, and SOY products, grats on making a product with all of the big 3 food alergy/intolerances in one shot.
that said, I am very dairy intolerant and its pretty bad with soy as well. I take a pill for the dairy and the soy doesnt seem to be enough to bother me.
bacon burger anyone?
Just received a shipment from the USA and couldn’t wait to try it with scrambled eggs
It is just as good as I expected it to be, even better
Now when is it going to be on sale in the UK?
