1. PASTE, Now with Extra Pitch and Extra Stamina Posted: March 10, 2014 at 09:37 PM (#4669285)I will never understand how or why it became a meme.
That is how I know I am now officially getting old.
I think it has something to do with lots of people being idiots.
That's what most things are to do with.
It might make you more British. My father's ancestry is totally from England (we won't talk about 1066 A.D.) and he is fond of recalling that his grandmother commented that "You Americans BURN your bacon!"
I haven't intentionally discovered bacon that isn't shitty and I've generally become uninterested in eating food that leans too much toward the fatty/sugary/low nutritional value side of things, but maybe I'll try for some good quality bacon if I can locate it.
It's probably healthier to wear bacon than to ingest it, though.
Eh, you don't really want to be washing that with any of your other clothes.
Totally agree. It's a bit of silly fun. I love bacon, both chewy and crispy though the American bacon only seems to be that narrow strip. Over here we've got the whole bit including the thicker top section I think you'd call Canadian bacon; but it's still attached.
Bacon is so awesome it should be it's own food group.
this is not uncommon. I lost about 2/3 of my litters back in 1982 or so to a similar situation
Anyway, stock up on your bacon kids
hog futures
The Mt. Rushmore of food groups: bacon, bacon, bacon, Chuck Norris.
Totally agree. It's a bit of silly fun.
Eh, I suppose. Anything that gets over-fetishized simply becomes tiresome. See: Chuck Norris.
...wait, I just verified your assertion by responding to it 13 minutes later, even though I haven't looked at this thread since I posted #1. :<
Bacon isn't particularly unhealthy if you render it properly. Compared to other breakfast staples like biscuits and sausage it's practically health food.
This never would have happened before 1979.
When I think of chewy bacon, I think of a pizza that was handcrafted by Poppie.
This. The toughest aspect of living with my fiancee has been the fact that she is really terrified of the effects of eating bacon and doesn't want me to eat it. As a guy who usually orders anything on the menu that has bacon it has been very difficult.
The obvious solution to your dilemma is to get a new fiancee.
This. Also known as the get-a-#######-life principle.
and this person is in your life because???
Put me in the "tired of bacon memes but perfectly happy with bacon" saturated blankets group.
This is a fair question. I was recently pushed to the limit when she refused to let me eat my Ben and Jerry's Pint in one sitting.
History's greatest monstress!
The internet has apparently decided that bacon is its patron saint. No, it doesn't make sense to me either. But, you know, considering the content of most memes, we could do a lot worse.
We are going to buy half a pig this year from one of the FFA kids at my wife's school. I'm interested to see how the bacon will turn out. I have a feeling that we won't be buying pork any other way after this little adventure.
I don't like bacon that much, but I love using it as flavoring. A couple of tablespoons of bacon fat in refried beans is great. When I'm not being lazy, grinding bacon with sirloin for burgers is fantastic (won't do it with chuck).
I will say that my 5 year old is picky as heck, but he loves bacon like none other. We took him out to breakfast last week and he ate bacon and toast.
Are they going to cure it, or are you just going to get a slab of fatty belly meat?
They are going to cure it (should have added that) as well as smoke the ham that we are getting.
BITD I used to love sandwiches made of bacon, liverwurst, baloney and cucumber, on rye toast. I think that with the cucumber and rye toast I somehow convinced myself that I was eating health food.
Assuming you can manage the volume, and make use out of all of the cuts, it is a great way to buy pork. I share a whole pig once a year with a couple friends from a farm not too far outside Indy, we divvy up the cuts and it is really good. I still find the pork cheek to be the greatest of all pork cuts.
We live in a household with 4 adults (well, 5 but my BIL hardly is at home- long story with our living arrangements) and 2 growing boys. We also have 3 fridges and 1 full size (not chest) freezer in the house, so we can roll with that stuff. We like pork in our house (I love smoking a shoulder a couple times a year for pulled pork and later chile verde enchiladas) and I can't wait to get my hands on the ribs.
I am comfortable with this being true AND bacon being incredibly delicious. Bacon is an excellent excellent food, but it wouldn't make my top ten things to eat.
But the smell...heavenly
