Who doesn’t like the taste of bacon?

I’m not a regular meat eater. But boy the smell of fatty bacon sizzling up in a pan is almost always a temptation.

I’ve been fascinated by the bacon renaissance of the last couple years – the classic cured pork product has inspired new creations by gourmets and doughnut makers alike. Possibly the most awful contemporary recipe I’ve found is this so-called ‘bacon explosion.’

When I heard about baconnaise I thought it might be just the thing to put the ‘B’ back in my BLT… but I’d hate to be stuck with a whole jar if it ends up being dreadful. Oh yeah, they make bacon salt, too. I think it’s time to give them both a try.

Oh how I love this picture. You can go see William Hundley’s site for more of his photos.

Testimonial of the week

From a review of a scoring device, used for making cards:

“This is the greatest tool since bacon…”

I am dying to know how this reviewer uses bacon as a “tool.”
