Mmmmmm . . . . . bacon . . .

 

[JumpinMacFlash]

There is a small butcher's shop in Plain, Wis. called Straka Meats that has some of the leanest, most delicious bacon I've ever tasted. After eating it, I can't eat the bacon from grocery stores anymore. It's heaven in a grease trap.

Bacon link that some will find delightful and others will find frightful.

Glen's Meat Market in Watertown has outstanding bacon. They'll slice it as thick or as thin as you want it. I buy a lot of it in the summer for BLT's.

 

Also, I married a Sheboyganite. Her mom's cousin was telling me about his love of bacon in his heavy Sheboygan style accent, so it sounded like "Oh, I luff baaaay-cun."I love the way people talk in Sheboygan. Or I love to make fun of it.

I give you the cheese filled bacon weave.

Nueske's out of Wittenberg. I grew up with the stuff up north, and now it started showing up down here a few years ago. Thick sliced heaven.

i think i gained two pounds just from looking at that bacon roll.

 

i had an inch-thick bacon steak once. it was good, though once you ply through all that fat, there wasn't much there.

I walked into the teacher's lounge at school today, and it smelled like bacon. I instantly thought of this thread.

Comet on Farwell has free bacon night (I think other bars around here do this now too), buy a beer and get a free plate of bacon...and it's not like 4-5 strips, it's like 20. Totally worth it, at the time.

[And That]

I don't understand the fascination with bacon. I think bacon tastes terrible.

[RayKingsForemanGrill]

Bacon is amazing.

 

I personally love wrapping chicken and beef with Bacon.

 

Or as I like to call it: meat wrapped meat.

 

Take that PETA...

One of my favorite appetizers is the bacon wrapped smokie. Take a package of bacon and slice it into thirds. Wrap each 1/3 slice of bacon around a little smokie and secure it with a toothpick. Place the bacon wrapped smokies on a foil covered jelly roll pan and sprinkle liberally with brown sugar and allow the pan of artery clogging gel to cure in the refrigerator overnight. Bake at a low oven temperature of about 250 degrees for an hour, turning each smokie once during the baking time. They are good by themselves, but if you want to take a few more days off of your lifetime, make a dipping sauce of an equal ratio of grape jelly and barbeque sauce. This recipie came with a coupon for a free angioplasty.

From the makers of the aforementioned 'Bacon Salt'.

I make a really good dish where I take a pork loin and wrap it in bacon, fry it so the bacon sticks together, and cook it in the oven. It is amazing. Also, when I go to Iowa in the summer, I go to a store that sells turkey breasts wrapped in bacon and they are grillable. Fantastic! Bacon makes everything better.

That sounds like the "Turkey Mignon" that Aldi's sells during the summer months. They are my favorite item to grill and they're easy. Just wait for the plastic thing to pop out. Very good.

 

But otherwise, I'm not a big fan of bacon.

OK, now, this is just whacked out: Bacon Popcorn

 

The ad copy says it's vegetarian friendly. HOW?

I think Bacco's are Vegan friendly even.

Second that. Nueske's is glorious. I live in the Wittenberg area and we have friends who work there, all the bags where the vacuum thing didnt work right and the beg looks messed up she gets some and she gives some to us. O my it is great.

I feel very flattered. Thank you.

Nicole made me some chocolate-covered Neuske's bacon for work the other day. Yum.

I have yet to try chocolate-covered bacon.

 

It sounds, in a word . . . fantabulous.

i just had to buy some turkey bacon when i was at the grocery store today, just because of this thread. i couldn't bring myself to buy real bacon (just because of this thread). bacon is one of those foods that's so tasty, yet off the charts for being bad for you that it's easy enough to stay away from most of the time, like candy bars.
