Bacon

I think it's time. Time to share my love with you. And of course, the love of which I speak is porcine in origin, lovingly cured and salted...sometimes enhanced with the delicate flavour of maple syrup, sometimes left to its own devices, letting its pure essence shine through to entice your senses, performing a paso doble on your tongue, even while it turns your arteries into a mosh pit of cholesterol.

There is no greater way to express your love than being willing to share your bacon with another person. Only that blindingly true sentiment, that complete selflessness could ever motivate an individual to do such a thing.

That's right, I just affirmed that nothing says "I love you" like bacon.

I'm certainly not willing to share my bacon with the lot of you...but I am willing to share my passion for this singularly exquisite foodstuff. Please, come in, sit down, and tell me about your experiences with divinity*.

I love me some bacon. Maple smoked, apple cider cured, hickory...I'll take them all.

Best food? A bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant from Dunkin. With a large, black french vanilla coffee.

Bacon I miss. I miss thick cured cuts of pig, the smell, the taste, the just the right amount of crispiness. I miss peppered bacon. I would KILL for peppered bacon. Hell, I would sell my only son for peppered bacon (Well, at least for a day, or a lot of bacon)!

Thus do I curse Japan and its insistence that bacon is naught but very lean, paper thin, slices of ham. :(

Oh, I also miss Canadian bacon. I wish I could find it, though it would lead to a large argument with my wife about if Canadian bacon and pineapples belong on pizzas (they do, oh God they do).

Bacon is the perfect stand alone food, as well as being the perfect condiment.

If there is a food that is not made better by being warmed in bacon grease, I've yet to have met it...and if such a thing could actually be said to exist, I'm fairly certain it should be avoided at all costs.

The other day I discovered just how much better banana is when fried in bacon grease.

You might scoff...but if you try it, you'll understand.

You know, when God said that whole "no pig" thing, I'm pretty sure he meant to say "No pig, but bacon is chill". Sort of like how he forgot to mention that cheeseburgers are okay.

And bacon cheeseburgers? Any god that does not permit such perfection is not a true god.

Peppered bacon is bacon at it's absolute best. Peppered bacon is the Olympic Gold of bacon.

Jews and Muslims...the Chosen People.

Chosen to live life without bacon. Never have there existed peoples who have been asked to sacrifice so much in the name of their faith. If for nothing else, Jews and Muslims should be given the deepest respect for adhering to a creed that deprives them of that which is most glorious in this world.
Bacon is one of the most disgusting things I have ever tasted. I can understand the sentiments of a person who has never tasted bacon, or who has chosen to make that ultimate sacrifice and live without it...but your ilk? You are dead to me.

Canadian bacon is back bacon. It's also called "Irish bacon" too. It's one of those things like "French Fries." Yes, we know it's not really Canadian. Who the fuck cares! It tastes good!

I lurves me some bacon. Unfortunately, I don't have any in my fridge. Otherwise I would make some, right now. This very minute. Maybe I'd put it on a sandwich with some cheese. Or just eat it plain. Either way is great. But alas, my fridge contains no bacon. And I have pretty much no money to buy any. I need someone to share their bacon with me. :(

Fo what reason are you not eating bacon?

I almost married a Jewish boy a few years back, and giving up pork and shellfish was one of the conditions of our relationship. Now, years later, I really want bacon and shrimp again, but every time I set out to eat them, I start thinking about him and get depressed and end up losing my appetite. Therefore, I've pretty much decided to take the path of least resistance and stay semi-kosher dietwise until I can think of my stupid ex without getting depressed - but when that happens, my god am I going to eat a lot of bacon. I will have a baconfest. I will have bacon for breakfast, club sandwiches for lunch, Cobb salad for dinner, and whatever is left of the package of bacon for dessert. And then the next day, I will buy more bacon for breakfast, but eat shrimp pad thai and cocktail shrimp and fried shrimp and then MORE BACON. Mmmmmm.

Because I've been incredibly horny all day (and now hungry in addition), that picture of bacon for some reason just reminded me of labia minora.

I should note that it did not make it any less appetizing.

This is, of course, impossible, unless the bacon has been burnt beyond edibility.

Bacon is indeed the food of the gods. They told me so.

Smoked & salt cured, with none of that funky maple sweetness, either. Peppered would be acceptable, although I really just prefer peppered bacon on sandwiches.

The only thing better than a steak, is a steak wrapped in bacon.

I would also like to take this opportunity to state, for the record, that those people who willingly put mayonnaise on their BLT's are committing a crime. Ranch dressing needs to be on a BLT.

I agree, both counts. And would go further to add in the fact that a BLT is best on either a pretzel roll, bagel (no offense intended toward those of us of Jewish faith), or Pannini bread.

There is really nothing to compare to the flavor of peameal back bacon. Light and lean, a little sweet and a little tart , tender and juicy! The 'Canadian Bacon' found in your supermarket is neither Canadian nor is it bacon! It is ham and tastes nothing like peameal bacon. Until you taste the unique flavor of CanAm Peameal Back Bacon, you are missing a dining milestone.

Okay, it's more because his mother is an atheist who doesn't care about eating kosher, and she is the only one who can cook. But his father explained at great length about how Talmudic scholars are beginning to understand that one must consider sheer deliciousness in properly contextualizing the scriptures.

If God didn't want us to eat bacon, then why did He give it to us in His most infinite bounty?

Bacon is good. The very best bacon is not found in packages. It's found in great slabs at the butcher shop where you ask the butcher to cut and slice a small amount for you, which you immediately take home and fry. It must be done immediately because this most excellent bacon will go rancid very quickly. Bacon, like butter and good cheese, goes well with almost anything.

Simply put, bacon is the worst food ever produced by humanity, and should be outlawed and confiscated.

I'll help with the confiscation.

You just want my bacon.

I would gladly eat bacon off my lover's grease-spattered skin.

I love you.

Anyways, I love to have my bacon in a waffle cone... drizzled with cheese sauce, sour cream and chives. Yummmmm.... maybe a hint of Worcestershire sauce... or perhaps Hershey Syrple if I can't find the former...

Wow.

I shall help too. Bacon tastes like garbage.

Everyone wants my bacon!

I almost married a Jewish boy a few years back, and giving up pork and shellfish was one of the conditions of our relationship. Now, years later, I really want bacon and shrimp again, but every time I set out to eat them, I start thinking about him and get depressed and end up losing my appetite. Therefore, I've pretty much decided to take the path of least resistance and stay semi-kosher dietwise until I can think of my stupid ex without getting depressed - but when that happens, my god am I going to eat a lot of bacon. I will have a baconfest. I will have bacon for breakfast, club sandwiches for lunch, Cobb salad for dinner, and whatever is left of the package of bacon for dessert. And then the next day, I will buy more bacon for breakfast, but eat shrimp pad thai and cocktail shrimp and fried shrimp and then MORE BACON. Mmmmmm.

Eat the bacon now. No one on their deathbed ever said, "I should have spent more time fasting from bacon because of that Jewish boy". You only live once. Live it with bacon.

Wasn't it Ben Franklin who said "Bacon is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy?"

I think that's what he said.

One time, I was cooking breakfast. I had waffles, and some french toast, and some scrambled eggs.
These things were delicious. However, the breakfast was ruined when I discovered that I was out of bacon.

True fact: under the Geneva Convention, denial of bacon counts as torture.

Pray for our poor Irish brothers and sisters:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7770164.stm



Pork from the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland should not be eaten because of fears of contamination, the UK's Food Standards Agency has said.

The advice follows the recall of pork products after tests on slaughtered Irish pigs showed some pork products contained potentially harmful dioxins.

The FSA stressed consumers are unlikely to be at any "significant risk".

The Irish Republic's chief vet said contaminated pork products may have been exported to up to 25 countries.

Several other countries in Europe have issued alerts over the pork.

The FSA said: "Adverse health effects from eating the affected products are only likely if people are exposed to relatively high levels of this contaminant for long periods."

The source of the problem is suspected to have been contaminated oil.

The plant involved - Millstream Power Recycling Limited, in Co Carlow - said it was working with the Irish government as it investigated how the company's strict health and safety procedures could have possibly been breached.

A spokesman for the company - which recycles food products into pig meal - said the oil which officials were testing had never been added as an ingredient but was used in a machine used to dry animal feed.


Q&A: The recall of Irish pork
Send us your experiences

Tests on the slaughtered Irish pigs showed some pork products contained up to 200 times more dioxins than the recognised safety limit.

The spokesman said production at the plant, which is owned by a Robert Hogg and employs around 15 people, was stopped earlier this week when it was first linked to the scare.

Consumers and retailers have been warned to destroy all Irish pork and bacon products bought since 1 September as a precaution.

Bacon, ham, sausages, white pudding and pizzas with ham toppings are also included in the withdrawal of stocks.

Restrictions

But food safety expert Professor Hugh Pennington told the BBC the health risk was "very, very low".

He said: "You have to have a lot of these compounds. You have to eat a lot of them, enormous amounts to have any visible effect."

The feed was also delivered to nine farms in Northern Ireland which are now under restrictions.

SUPERMARKET STOCKS
Lidl: removed 'own-brand' black pudding and pork belly products
Asda: removed all Irish-sourced pork products
Tesco: removed own-brand pork, bacon and sausages
Waitrose: precautionary removal of Paul Rankin branded sausages
Sainsbury's: no Irish pork used in fresh meat ranges.

Graham Furey, the president of the Ulster Farmers' Union, told BBC News he hoped the chemicals were not passed on to any Northern Irish animals.

He said although officials were inspecting "a number of premises" they had not yet found any positive signs of the dioxins in any of the meat from the province.

The British Retail Consortium said supermarkets across England, Scotland and Wales had withdrawn from sale "the very small proportion" of Irish pork they stocked following advice from the FSA.

Waitrose, Lidl and Tesco are among some of the supermarkets which have removed particular products and offered customers refunds.

Other supermarkets contacted by BBC News said they were continuing to check their supplies.

Dioxins are formed during combustion processes, such as waste incineration, and during some industrial processes.

Suspicions over contamination were first raised on Monday as a result of the routine testing of pigs, which indicated the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) - banned in the Irish Republic since the 1970s - in animal feed.

The chief executive of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, Alan Reilly, said investigations were still under way into how the contamination got in to the animal feed.

He said: "It's more than likely from the types of dioxins that we have that it looks like some kind of industrial oil or industrial contaminant and we're trying to find out where that came from."

He added that culling of animals was likely in order to remove them from the food chain.

The Irish Agriculture Minister Brendan Smith said an investigation involving the Irish police was now under way into how the contaminated feed was given to pigs.

Chronic long-term exposure to dioxins can have serious health effects, including causing cancers, but Irish officials said the recall would ensure consumers only had minimum exposure to it.
Pork products from Ireland
Pork products from across Ireland should be avoided

The country's chief medical officer, Dr Tony Holohan, said anyone who had eaten pig meat did not need to seek medical help.

Mr Smith said the problem in the Republic was confined to 47 farms - including 38 beef farms.

Labour Party spokesman on agriculture and food, Sean Sherlock, said the government's priority had to be consumers but said the scare was a "threat to the viability of our food industry".

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen said action had to be taken to "reinforce" the public's confidence and allow the industry to "move on".

Padraig Walshe, president of the Irish Farmers' Association, said it was vital to trace the origins of the contamination.

He called the recall "a huge blow" and said the farmers were being punished despite buying their feed from a "licensed source".
