Bacon

There is not, nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on god’s great earth, as that prince of foods, bacon.

Does anyone have any bacon cooking tips? Bacon jokes? Bacon inspired poetry?

This is the thread to share them in.

Katie's always talking about eating bacon wrapped steaks so I thought I'd try it. Here's my recipe:

- one London Broil steak cut in half or in thirds (they're BIG steaks)
- salt and pepper
- garlic
- cayenne pepper (all spices can be measured according to your tastes)
- bacon

Season your steak pieces and set all but one aside. Wrap that one in bacon strips until you can't see the steak itself. Skewer on the bacon strips and BBQ until done. The skewers are handy because you can use them to turn the steaks on the barbie.

Here's another:
- boneless skinless chicken breasts
- either bleu cheese or garlic herb feta (if you can find it)
- bacon (cooked and cut into bits)
- lemon pepper
- any sort of chicken seasoning from the grocery store

Cut a slit along the length of the chicken breasts (going about halfway in). Stuff the slit with the cheese and bacon then skewer shut. Spice the top and bottom of the breasts and bake or BBQ until done. Enjoy!

"Bacon is goooood"

Bacon, Prince of Foods, you are the meaty thief of my heart..

I do have an amusing bacon-related story.

I was in philosophy class and we were discussing the ethics of eating meat. The philosophy prof. said that since examining the ethics he had become a vegetarian. But it was difficult because one of his favorite things to eat were peanut butter and bacon sandwiches.

How did he come across the peculiar combination you ask? Well I'll tell you.. his mother saw a special on figure skaters and one of them ate peanut butter and bacon sandwiches due to the extremely high levels of protein it gave to an athelete who burned a lot of energy. So she figured this would be great for her sun.

For the record, I've tried it, and it's not as bad as it sounds. Personally I prefer a toasted bacon and tomato sandwitch with mayo.

Yeah yeah, there's the quote from ol' Vinny Vega in Pulp Fiction "Bacon tastes good"-and your damn right.

St.Louis loves their pork products, they have bacn pizza-fabulous!

Pig joke:

"the bacon yer makin's a dead pig aint no fakin, it's murder." to paraphrase the Smiths. I loves me some pancetta. It's what lured me out of the vegetarian wasteland. PANCETTA ROCKS!
Penne Amatriciana.
small diced pancetta cooked crisp
add some of your favorite tomato sauce
add a little pesto sauce
some of you favorite grated cheese (pecorino, asiago, grana padano reggiono, kraft, whatever)
toss it with cooked penne, chow.

with eggs, its willie nelsons favorite food. and look how happy he is.

You've inspired me to write bacon haiku.

Dude, my girlfriend's last name is Bacon. I shit you not. In addition, my first name is Kevin. How fucked up is that?

I have some turkey bacon in the fridge...not as good as "the original"

Shit, I thought this was about Kevin Bacon or atleast the Bacon Brothers.
