eek

I SMELL BAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYCONNN!

then he'd run like hell because he was a pussbag

"Animals who love to be eaten".

Douglas Adams's shade to thread!

I've become the most carnivorous person in the world suddenly. I was out with Otis at the diner, and he was like, damn, order more meat why don't you. "I want a bacon cheeseburger, but instead of bread, can you surround it with chicken cutlets? Please also bring sausage. XOXO"

Can't eat the stuff, but that's my favorite hat ever.

I think it was mesh (i.e. trucker) too.

Does anyone know what the story is with nitrate-free bacon, by the way? How is it cured, since natural curing processes result in the formation of nitrates and nitrites? Do they just not pump in MORE n&n's like they would ordinarily? Or is it cured in some unconventional way? Based on a preliminary sampling, it tastes tasty, if a bit sweet and meaty.

You have no soul.

Are you high? The bacon they serve is heftily thick (like Mr.Eater said, it's Canadian Bacon, officially) and more addictive that a big ol' bag of Hickory-smoked CRACK! Apart from being extraordinarily bad for you, it is virtually the perfect foodstuff. It is the culinary equivalent of listening to Killing Joke privately serenade you while getting a full body rubdown from a naked, libidinous and dewey Jordana Brewster.

Very Dewey.

I thought this was common knowledge.

I am not eating pig face.

Baby.

now that looks better than the pork-belly dish my friend ordered in a restaurant. probably not that much more fat than the slab of ribs I ate last week...

dreaded doctor's appointment/physical this week has me paranoid about cholesteral :-(

if you make up a paste of olive oil, garlic, salt and smashed up fennel seeds, rub it all over the flesh side of your slab of pork belly - chuck it in the oven at a very high heat for half an hour, then a medium heat for another hour and ahalf, you'll have a meal fit for any king, if the skin hasn't crisped, just whack the heat to max till it does. If you want some gravy, geglaze the bottom of the pan with some dry sherry, white wine or even cider.

can I substitute black pepper for the fennel?

it might get a bit fiery but yeah, you use about a handful of fennel to make up the slush, that much pepper may get a bit....sneezy...

Nueske smoked applewood bacon, best ever.

I love this thread.

That stuff is good on green beans.

Like better than frying them in bacon fat, which is way yum but I think part of why my grandpa died (before I was born) of a heart attack. He made bacon/beans for breakfast every day.

SUCCULENT

This place sells Maple Bacon ice cream.

Kill yourself now: http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/

not that thing again

In celebration of one the most patriotic months of the year, the 3-location chain is debuting The ‘merica burger — a patty made of 100% ground bacon topped with a slice of thick cut bacon, a sunny side up egg, a new “bacon island” dressing and a heavy slice of bacon cheddar cheese. Bacon on bacon on bacon — apparently the only way to top their 50/50 ground beef bacon blend patty is to go 100% bacon.

Everybody eats it exactly once

i love bacon and all, but that sounds revolting. fried egg and thousand island? bun is cute though.

DES MOINES, Iowa -
If you love bacon, you'll love this... At the Iowa State Fair, one of the most notable items is the double bacon corn dog, which is a hot dog wrapped in bacon, deep fried, then dipped in bacon bit-enriched batter and deep fried again.

The double bacon corn dog will be available at Campbell's concession stand.

Somebody on my floor cooked BACON tonight, and that wonderful smell is driving me CRAZY.

as a vegetarian I have no dog in the fight but why don't people get as amped for sausage as they do for bacon? bacon tasted fine to me back when but is pretty samey unless you're really overtly trying to make some AND HERE'S HOW OUR BACON'S DIFFERENT deal but sausage comes in many varieties, is better in a biscuit, etc

idgi you guys why do you go apeshit over bacon and not sausage

sausage doesn't really work as a topping

i mean, besides pizza

oh wait, it's good on rice too. anyway, yeah, sausage is better than bacon. for one, there's the variety joan crawford mentions. and sausage has more subtle flavors. and i look really cool when i'm whittling a summer sausage sitting at the bus stop

what if god was the new bacon

how would he taste on a cheeseburger though

if god was the new bacon, god really would be in everything

so many countries make their own amazing sausages

as a vegetarian I have no dog in the fight but why don't people get as amped for sausage as they do for bacon?

For fellow vegs who stumbled in here, remember you can substitute just about [any sausage spicing](http://thespicysausage.com/sausagemakingrecipes.htm) into the modern steamed vital gluten recipe. I'd also make it with more oil if you're trying to woo omnis.

*posts willy wonka meme*

Sausage and stuff like landjaeger is awesome and far surpasses bacon

oooh thanks for this. kinda od'd on most of the meat substitutes including tofu a couple of years back, but I am completely up for this recipe

Not gonna go apeshit, but it was a happy day when I discovered Kroger Hot is a good sub for the dearly departed Bryan Hot.

man I think goin apeshit is justified

when I moved to Chicago was I stoked about fuckin bacon? no. I was stoked because between this Polish butcher on Western and the Ukrainian Village I basically had my pick of world-beating sausages on the cheap. straight artery hardeners. bacon is a great breakfast meat. sausage you put can put on a roll, cut up with pasta, use in lasagne, and have it with eggs...bacon is the pretender to sausage's throne, still in the court fair enough but who goes nuts about the duke when the king is around

bacon : sausage :: meet the beatles : rubber soul

jclc i don't think it's your intention here but you're making me want to give up my vegetarianism and go in search of great sausages

the sausage I miss most from Chicago is issan sausage from Spoon
sausage is great but can't really make sausage-wrapped jalapenos or dates now can you

My wife's stepdad (what is he to me?) bought some bacon chocolate bar at Trader Joe's. I had a bite, and after the first hint of smokiness I suddenly got the sensation of biting into chocolate filled with pork fat. Which was a pretty unappealing sensation.

there's a guy at my village's market who sells horse sausage and I haven't yet had the heart to try it
