National Bacon Day

donmdonm Posts: 10,241 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

I, for one, love bacon. With eggs, without eggs, in a BLT, in a burger, even in a quiche when feeling fancy. For health reasons, I've taken to turkey bacon but it's definitely not the same. Some times I just need the real thing.

In case anyone overindulges in bacon today, it's also National Bicarbonate Of Soda Day. I can think of a few coaches who may be imbibing some of this today. Some rough bowl games.

    For real. Wife just cooked whole pack before leaving on shopping trip. I think I can eat entire pack, but will share with daughter

    I just saw a chef on TV who had prepared chocolate covered bacon with powdered sugar.

    I have tried that at a wedding reception minus the powdered sugar. Was good. Thought it was bbqed bacon though

    This seems like a deliberate slap in the face to sausage, especially the little hot link variety.....that is all.

    I cook it on the grill over indirect heat when I can. The family loves it.

    Also, every day should be bacon day.

    I'm celebrating today with some Whole Foods thick cut Black Forrest bacon. It's really good!

    Wife has been doing Keto for about a year now. Lots of real bacon. We like bacon. I also use bacon with venison recipes, try fresh tenderloin with an additional 50% by weight chopped bacon or country ham and a good sweet onion, cook low and slow. Mmmmm.

    I feel like we would be remiss to not mention the king of bacon.

    I can never get the bacon done enough without cooking the shrimp too much. What's the secret?
