clipper's remarks: The person who linked to this suggested replacing the jelly with Nutella, which sounds really good.

A commenter later in the thread added, "I just happened to have some bacon, Hershey's bars and a kaiser roll handy. I tested it with just the above ingredients. Then I added some butter. Then some peanut butter. The complete version was excellent. So were the other partial versions. Ok, let's be honest here. Chocolate is awesome. Bacon too. add anything you want to that combo and you are good to go and considered a gourmet cook as far as I am concerned."

Fool's Gold Loaf (an Elvis favorite)

From the Kitchen of Brocktoon

Category: Meat
Servings: 1 (if you're Elvis)

Preparation Time:

Recipe Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
1 loaf Italian white bread
1 pound lean bacon
1 normal size jar Skippy smooth peanut butter
1 normal size jar Smucker's grape jelly

Recipe Directions

Preheat oven to 350(F).
Spread the butter generously over all sides of the loaf. Place the bread on a baking sheet in the oven. In the meanwhile, fry the bacon until it is crisp and drain it thoroughly on paper towels. Remove the loaf from the oven when it is evenly browned, approx. 15 minutes. Slice the loaf lengthwise and hollow out the interior, leaving as much bread along the walls as desired. While the bacon is still warm, fill the insides of the loaf with peanut butter and jelly to taste. Arrange the bacon slices inside the cavity, or, if desired, layer the bacon slivers between the peanut butter and jelly. Close the loaf.

Savor.

Baconify your bourbon

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:46:07 GMT

clipped by: bignosemousie
clipper's remarks: Bourbon purists, avert your eyes.

But really, everything is better with bacon, even bourbon.

Clip Source: www.theagitator.com

What you’ll need: A 750 ml bottle of good bourbon.

To make it, cook up 3-4 strips of bacon. Retain a fluid ounce or so of the rendered fat, letting it cool but not solidify. Discard of the bacon in the manner of your choosing (I’m sure you’ll think of something). Pour the fat and bourbon into a glass jar and let it sit to taste, a matter of hours if the bacon is strong enough.

Now you’ve got a very greasy looking jar of bourbon. To make it ungreasy, put it in the freezer over night. The fat will conveniently congeal for easy straining, and you can clean it up even further with a run through a coffee filter.

If all goes well, your bourbon will now taste and smell distinctively like your bacon. Drink it neat, or try out PDT’s breakfasty Benton’s Old-Fashioned, a version of which is pictured above:

2 oz bacon bourbon
1/4 oz maple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Stir with ice and pour into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a twist of orange. Enjoy.

Bacon Sets Off Airport Bomb Detector

According to German news site Nachrichten, a passenger at the Linz airport set off alarms when his suitcase full of bacon was mistaken for a bomb. The story was translated with Google, so it's high on hilarity and low on verifiable detail.

Bacon storage by the slice

I use waxed paper instead of plastic wrap. I like to think it breaks down quicker in the landfill. Start with one slice, placed about a bacon-width in from one edge of the paper. You can use full slices just as well. Fold the paper over the bacon. Place another slice next to the first slice. Fold the paper-encased bacon on top of the other slice. Repeat. Fold the ends in and toss several rolls in a plastic bag or airtight container. Freeze. To use, don’t thaw; just unroll the waxed paper and pop off as many frozen bacon strips as you need.

Sing along!
Pork! It's the meat of kings!
It's made from pig, try it with onion rings.
Pork sure goes with everything, cause it's made from swine, and swine sure tastes fine.
Just bring some to the picnic baby,
You know you wanna stuff it in my hamper.
But please put it in some tupperware
'Cause I don't wanna be a porky chancer.
Let's talk about pork.
Converse about meat.
Veggies get wedgies cause meat can't be beat!
Ham and bacon, you should taste them.
I know it's surprising but it's so appetizing!

How much bacon should be added?

What is the right amount of bacon to add to Rice Krispies treats?

I've read online that bacon can be successfully added to Rice Krispies treats, but I can't find a recipe to figure how much bacon would be good to add--how much is too little or too much. Also, would I replace some of the butter with bacon grease, or does that matter as far as flavor?

Bacon: artisan vs. conglomerate

clipper's remarks: Happy pigs are tasty pigs.

Clip Source: thesop.org

So what, specifically are the advantages to small production, family farm, artisan crafted gourmet bacon. Well first off, let us not forget rule number one when it comes to raising pigs. That rule clearly states: A Happy Pig is a delicious, succulent, tender and healthy pig!

Therefore, the clear and obvious advantages of being raised outside, running free and playing with one`s fellow porkers out in the clean, fresh air, green grass and natural, mineral potent mud, under a relaxed and happy day of vitamin A rich sunlight,

simply blows way the life experiences of corporate mass produced pork.

Instead of the positive scenario just described for the pigs growing up out on the family farm, the mass produced company swine live inside a giant, gray walled institution with unhealthy and nerve agitating artificial, florescent lighting

They are crammed like sardines in small, over-crowded, pens, often without even enough room to turn around, let alone walk, run or play.

Where to buy artisan bacon online

clipper's remarks: edited to fix my typos.

Bacon is the ultimate comfort food and the only thing better than waking up to the smell of it in the skillet is its fatty, greasy, delicious taste. Yet, for health reasons, you may be taking bacon in moderation. So why indulge yourself with supermarket-quality bacon, when artisan bacon is available?

Artisan bacon is found at high-end groceries and butcher shops, restaurants, and farms with curing and smoking operations. Here are a few worth checking out:

The Grateful Palate (www.gratefulpalate.com)

Lobel's of New York (www.lobels.com)

Heritage Foods USA (www.heritagefoodsusa.com)

Nueske's (www.nueskes.com)

Artisan bacon hurts less when cooking naked

acon is the new chocolate

, or maybe the new olive oil

A search for better bacon is under way in this country, reminiscent of the one for better beer, and with a similar lure of the forbidden.

The cult—and bacon love is still at the cult stage—won't come as a surprise to people who have looked for artisan-cured bacon over the years, although even they will be pleased by the recent improvements and wider selection. To anyone still buying supermarket bacon, the difference in flavor will be remarkable. Standard bacon tastes tinny and one-dimensional compared with the deep, subtle, lightly smoky flavor of good artisan bacon.

Artisan bacon is both less messy and easier to cook than supermarket slices; its lower water content means that fewer scalding specks of wet fat will shoot out of the pan.

There's no denying that bacon is good in pretty much anything.
