The Power of Bacon

Re: The Power of Bacon

During the baseball off-season I work in a bagel shop, and we also happen to serve lunch sandwiches...it's more like a café.

I've been experimenting with an American Chop Suey sandwich with our multigrain bread, which is like a Texas Toast with a heavier texture to it. I've tried various combinations, and finally figured out how to perfect it.

Grill the bread with cheddar cheese on it, slap on the chop suey; and after months of thinking, I realized what it really needed was bacon. :D

If God ate sandwiches, that's all he'd eat.

Enjoyed some bacon tonight for dinner. Homemade potato, leek, spinach soup with bacon crumpled in (and some bacon fat added to the soup).
 
Re: The Power of Bacon

I posted this in the TRP thread two weeks ago, not knowing this bacon-flavored thread existed:

So, I'm cooking bacon (hellsyeah, I know) to put into the chicken wild rice soup I'm making. My initial thought was "What could make this already delicious soup even better?" Of course, it didn't take more than several nanoseconds to come up with the answer of "Gratuitous amounts of bacon!"

Anyhow, as I'm frying up the 2 lbs of bacon tips and ends to add to my concoction, I reach into the bulk package (yes, BULK.....there's no other way to purchase bacon if you're a true conoisseur) and pull out THE LARGEST SINGLE SLICE OF BACON EVER. I weighed it on my food scale, and it topped out at 4.9 oz! It was at this point that I knew for certain that I was in the presence of greatness--a pivotal moment in bacon history. We're talking about the porterhouse equivalent of baconhood.

I was going to put this impressive pork-derived speciman on display due to it's size (and there might have been an image of the Virgin Mary in the fat marbling; I was too distracted at the mass and girth of the slab of the heaven-sent mannaesque bacon to really notice), but alas: I knew to be blessed with bacon of this proportion meant only one thing--it had to be enjoyed in its entirety in order to pay it the homage it rightfully deserved.

And oh my Parise, it was good.

That is all.

You should come over to Europe. You can buy your bacon whole. I guess you're supposed to slice it yourself, but ooooooohhhh - 3 pound slice of bacon!

bacon/egg/cheddar on a good everything bagel at breakfast just never gets old for me

I have that opportunity every...single...day. I actually had bacon/egg/cheddar on an onion bagel; same concept, slight difference.

My actual favorite is bacon/egg/swiss on a grilled apple cinnamon bagel. The sweetness from the apples and cinnamon, along with the butter from grilling add to the bacon flavor. It's cholesterrific!
 
Re: The Power of Bacon

Last Saturday I was at a dinner party and had loaded baked potatoes with bacon; it was one of the best things I've ever eaten.
