Title: Why Bacon?
Post by: Ed_McCarron on August 23, 2005, 02:36:17 pm
OK, I've been reading this forum for appx a year now, and the (seemingly recent?) fascination with bacon intrigues me.

Myself, I'm particular to baked ham, but will eat bacon if presented with it at breakfast.  It's not like I'll go out of my way to find that particular hunk-o-pig.

Why bacon?  Is the preferred method of preparation burned crisp beyond recognition, or limp, with fatty goodness attached?

Inquiring minds want to know.

my real question: why not spam?

Spam is bacon's bastard cousin. Let us never speak of it again (unless we feel like it).

What I want to know is why you've been here for approximately a year and you waited this long to ask?  Clearly your thought process has been hindered by lack of bacon, and you're only digging yourself a deeper hole with each passing day.  Why, grasshopper?  Bacon does NOT work via osmosis.  Put it to use, and you shall learn.

The method isn't the magic, it's the meat, man!  I can't believe you don't get that it's the meat.

Bacon is great..

On a sandwich...
.. in an omlette
or a la carte!

On a potatoe  <--- for you Dan Quayle fans
.. in baked beans
or wrapped around a fillet mignon!

:D
mmmm I probably prefer a la carte but on a baked tater is good stuff too.. I do not like it real limp.. not burned to a crisp either... a little crispy yet still meaty.

Paige has been taken over by Mirror-Spock, which would explain his newfound loathing for bacon. There's only one thing for it. Tie him to a photon torpedo and put him out the nearest airlock.

That is the Evil Alternate Universe Spock, who has a goatee, since he is from an evil alternate Universe. Of course the evil Spock ends up being the same, but with a goatee (since Spock is dedicated towards logic and law, and is pretty neutral on the good/evil axis).

Yes, there is something wrong when one of us loves the sausage too much.

Pat Boone is a man's man.  In Pat Boone's world, Bjork is the person who gets an asskicking for leaving the red m+ms in the bowl backstage.

I think the bacon thing might be just a fad. Remember about a year ago everybody wanted to be a pirate? And before that there was a bunch of people trying to make their own arcade machines! Weirdos.
The bacon will die down eventually on this forum, but it will forever live on in our hearts (litteraly).

There is such a thing as Pork Jerky.  Has any hardcore Bacon eaters tried it?

It seems to me that if there were you could have Great Bacon taste at your fingertips anywhere any time of the day.  No hassles of refrigeration, cooking or hot grease splatter.

Damn, its contagious.

I stopped at the local hotdog place to pick up lunch...  Without thinking, I promptly ordered 2 texas tommies - which are hotdogs, wrapped in BACON. 

It was such a subconcious decision, I have to blame it on BYOAC.

Hm... BYOAC/BACON... Only one letter off as anagrams.

Bacon !?!?!?

Y'all are HEATHENS. Do you hear me? HEATHENS!

Pancetta is the only cured meat worthy of discussion.

The Prosciutto Integration Guild (PIG) stands ready to educate you to the joys of Pancetta, and hear confession of the consumption of mediocre cured meat products.

Your penance -- eat a 1/4 pound of pancetta.

Pancetta is cured Prosciutto -- available at any decent Italian butcher.

It also goes by the name "Spek" in German-speaking areas.

It's what bacon aspires to be.

Scoop, you've been out in the Florida sun too long.  If'n you keep it up and throw a little butter on yourself, you may reach proper crispiness, but you'll never be as good as bacon.....the same as any OTHER meat you try to say is "better" than bacon.

There is no "better", only "different", "worse", or "I wouldn't eat that with YOUR mouth!" ;D

That's working your plan, man!  Set small goals at first, then when you can meet those regularly, move up to bigger goals.....next you'll be eating half a package of bacon a day!

Bacon should be added to the forum's auto-censor list. Some of the bacon comments would sound filthy; newbies would thing we're all a bunch of perverts.

Edit: I know we're all perverts anyway, I meant more perverted than the average bacon muncher.
