I could smell it through the very well packaged box. It was uber smoked. Grabbed the pack and looked at it and was overcome by smoke aroma. It seeped through vacuum seal and impregnated my fingers with smoke smell. Dry cured with salt, brown sugar, and sodium nitrate and apparently uber smoked it was a beautiful looking package.

I opened it and my eyes started to burn from the smoky power. It was a bit fatty and greasy as hell. Made up 4 strips on med low and the whole house was filled with the smell. I was surprised by the shrinkage which I attribute to the high percentage of fat. The first bite knocked me on my ass. It is so smoky, oh man. It had a sweet aftertaste, but the smoke is the driving flavor and overpowers everything. I bet it would be too much for most, but I absolutely loved it.

Rolling papers with bacon scent. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….

I am having a really hard time listing this under bacon. Over on Flicker I was ashamed to put it in the food set. Once again I did this for you BorK readers. Morning star farms bacon is vegetarian. I love how the picture on the box is not fancied up. It looks just like on the package. It sat in my freezer for two weeks till I got the courage to try it. You get a pretty decent amount of strips. They are really cool looking. Like play dough and feels about the same. The bacon smell was strong before and right when I started cooking, but not too close to real bacon.

We have been making so many of our foods from scratch, which is pretty cool cuz I know it is not filled with chemical crap. I could not imagine someone feeling good about eating these besides the whole not made from animals thing. Just look at what they are made of.

EGG WHITES, SOYBEAN OIL WITH TBHQ FOR FRESHNESS, TEXTURED SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, WHEAT GLUTEN, HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (CORN GLUTEN, WHEAT GLUTEN, SOY), CONTAINS TWO PERCENT OR LESS OF GLYCERIN, SALT, SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE, SODIUM CITRATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, SUGAR, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS FROM NON-MEAT SOURCES, TORULA YEAST, CARAMEL COLOR, MONOCALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE, NATURAL SMOKE FLAVOR, MALIC ACID, GUAR GUM, YEAST EXTRACT, LOCUST BEAN AND GUAR GUM, SODIUM SULFITE, CARRAGEENAN, RED #3, DISODIUM INOSINATE, DISODIUM GUANYLATE, NIACINAMIDE, IRON [FERROUS SULFATE], AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, NONFAT DRY MILK, YELLOW #6, VITAMIN B1 [THIAMIN MONONITRATE], VITAMIN B6 [PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE], VITAMIN B2 [RIBOFLAVIN], CITRIC ACID, CYANOCOBALAMIN.

Yup you even get your nitrates. The taste was baconesque, almost like turkey bacon / sizzlean but not quite. You have to be very careful cooking it to get the texture right. The strips in the pic had rubbery parts and pieces that shattered like glass. They will make excellent dog treats.

Apparently my posting abilities are nil today.

Dear Cakehead,

What cake would taste best garnished with bacon?

Love,

Dear Mira,

Pairing salty and sweet edibles is one of our favorite activities. To tackle this particular challenge was a special delight since we can think of little that we like to eat more than bacon and cake.

Salivating, we hit our test kitchen. We were pretty certain that chocolate cake would overpower the bacon, but afraid we might miss out on a surprising combination, we decided to give the flavor a chance. Sadly, we were correct. We want the salty fat rind of the bacon to cut through the sweetness. But instead the chocolate flavor was focus.

The impulsive buy shows how pathetic a Cheesy Bacon BK Wrapper is.

You just can’t put cheese on or in you and expect to be “cheesy.” If putting processed cheese slices over my nipples as pasties doesn’t make me cheesy, I don’t think the American cheese and smokey cheese sauce that goes along with your eggs, bacon, hash browns, and flour tortilla can or should make you “cheesy.”

He always cracks me up.

It was like xmas when this showed up. The packaging was darn good and two pounds of J. Samuel Whiting Bacon smiled back at me. I had to wait for a special occasion to test it out. Saturday turned out to be a perfect time. It looked pretty awesome and thick. I knew I was gonna be drinking on the beer bus soon so I just did two pieces.

The smell was sweet with a nice smoke aroma, not too much. Cast iron was the only way to go and I slowly cooked it to near crisp. The smoke smell was sweet while cooking. Not much fat rendered out while cooking. It was sticking to my uber seasoned cast iron pan which was odd. I think the sugar and lack of grease caused that.

I paired it with two eggs and some hash browns. It was pretty thick so it was not overly crispy. The flavor was very clean, sweet, with a hint of smoke. It was after taking a bite that the real flavor came out. The aftertaste was awesome. Very impressed.

That be some pretty thick bacon.

I have to hand it to Chili’s the bacon truly is thick. In fact, I’ll even call it extra thick. (They called it “triple thick”, I’m not sure what that means unless there’s a standard bacon thickness of 1/16 in. that I don’t know about.) Does it truly hold up to its claim that it’s the “thickest bacon you’ve ever seen”? My guess is that for most people that’s true, but for me it was most definitely not the case.

Oh BTW I think I got enough info out of the meat dept at Ideal to figure out what brand the uber bacon is. I sent an email and will let you know what I find out.

Wow, just wow.

BK bacon is that pre done nuke it and go bacon, but it is still a little tasty. This is severe overkill, but man it looks awesome.

My first bacon of the month package showed up. I am currently sitting on 6 pounds of bacon, so it is going to be quite a while till I get around to testing this. So review to come.

First 100% on GHIII

we were in a hurry so we roasted the chicken on the grill instead of the dutch oven with veg way. I got creative and jammed some aromatic veg in the cavity. Did not do much though really.

What a strange player. There is a play button up top.

Always one to go a bit far on gift giving, she hit this one out of the park. She has twice saved up enough to have me jump out of a plane, and on this 11th year anniversary I got her two books, some chocolate, and goofy easter glasses. She gets me the 2 pound bacon of the month club. As she said “I am expecting a pretty cool birthday gift this year” Ummm yeah.

This is gonna be pretty cool. A year of awesome bacon. I have been wanting to order some to try from these guys, but now I will get to try a bunch and find the Jesusbacon.

3 out of 4 Bowies agree maple bacon lollies rule.

We feel pretty safe in saying that we’re the first people to ever make a bacon-based lollipop. And not just any bacon, either- we use sustainable, organic, cured bacon- we kinda felt that it went well with the organic Vermont maple syrup we were using as a base, you know?

While we admit that it’s pretty far from the norm (it’s definitely not kosher!), once you make that initial leap of faith and try it out, we’re positive that you’ll love it. The salty chunks of bacon make a delicious and unique counterpoint to the subtle sweetness of the maple, and oh, yeah- you’ll be eating an oh-my-god bacon lollipop!

A perfect gift for the sweet-toothed pork aficianado in your life.
