I've had bacon on the brain today. No real reason, just craving some bacon. Which is strange, because I had bacon the other day...
So, in honor of today's obsession, I present this little ode to pork fat.
--------------------------------
Encrusted in pepper
Injected with syrup
Hung so the smoke from some
Hickory will add to
The flavor already divine
If you cook it too fast
It will burn, become brittle
Slow, over low heat
Is the way you should go
You can't rush perfection
For sandwich or breakfast
So plan ahead carefully and
You'll soon see why
That everything is better
With bacon to fry...

Curse you. Now I want bacon even more than I did the first time you mentioned it.
I've not been cursed before. I'm not at ALL sure how I feel about it...
Have some bacon. We'll both feel better...

My husband will love this. He's very picky about his bacon.
I'm not too fond of the stuff, myself.

I go for long stretches of time where I don't even think about bacon. Every so often, I need bacon...I obsess about bacon...
Your husband sounds like a man of wisdom and discernment.

Mmm... bacon, the candy of meats!
I've heard many people say that bacon should be baked, then crisped in a skillet. Any thoughts on this decidedly complicated method of bacon cooking?

It works quite well if you are cooking a lot of bacon. I've seen it done in restaurant settings. I've even known some people to throw it in a fryer! ACK! It depends on taste. I even know some people who LIKE their bacon crispy and brittle. [shudder]
Bacon...the candy of meats...I like that.

Bacon...the most politically incorrect of all the meats and meat by products. Did you not get the memo that loving bacon is wrong and talking about loving bacon is...wronger? You can't admit to loving bacon in today's America. You can eat it...oh, we eat it...it's in the grocery stores and on every fast food menu in the country... but to admit to loving it out loud in an open forum...well, you are a brother to the pornographer my friend.
No, actually porn is more socially acceptable than bacon love.

So, you're basically saying that I am wronger than Wrongy Wrongerson for my love of bacon?
Herrgooch called it the candy of meats...he's right.
So, I guess the next attempt to capitalize on the Law & Order franchise will be L&O: The Pork Squad?

I make no personal judgement whatsoever. I only make an observation about the sociological trend towards the denial of porcine pleasure.
