Oh man, it might not be news to you folks but I wish I'd known about this BEFORE Christmas! I had some bacon-flavored popcorn... UNBELIEVABLE - and I just HAD to ask where they'd gotten it. Turns out there is a whole product line dedicated to bacon flavored and scented products. Everything from lip balm to sunscreen to popcorn to uh, how should I say it... "special lubricants" http://www.jdfoods.net/ | ||

My wife had a bikini made out of bacon for about 12 minutes. You can imagine what happened to it. OMNOMNOMNOMNOM | ||

Their baconaisse is awesome. You could dip a dirt clod in it and it would taste delicious. JD Foods has a recipes page and the grilled cheese sandwich with baconaisse spread on the outside prior to grilling is the best I've ever had. | ||

A whole 12 minutes?? Slacker!  | ||

OK, since this thread is "going there"... I worked with a really cool female chef not too long ago, and given the jocularity/crassness of your typical restaurant kitchen, I got her going on this: Wouldn't the world be a more pleasant place, and M/F relations SOOOO much better, if a "cunning linguist's" favorite meal tasted like bacon instead of tuna?   Back OT: I live just about 30 minutes away from Alan Benton's place- we use his bacon in several dishes where I work. Took some with me to AR, cooked one of the best Christmas breakfasts evaaar with his stuff! | ||

Slacker! To be fair, she did put it on about 10 minutes before I got home from work. | ||

That's 2 minutes of slacking in my book! | ||

I was told about a great packaged bacon, Wrights, natural thick cut hickory smoked, smells great and frys up well, lots of lean its cheaper than black label and its really great..... | ||

Now they have these 'Bacon Bowl" cookers. Good golly.....why did I not think of that. Make a bowl out of bacon and stuff it with bacon, topped with bacon bits! Pwnzor, uh.....how was her/your bacon cooked? I'm thinking that ought to be quite good, but it seems that crispy may not work.  I like bacon! | ||

Pwnzor, uh.....how was her/your bacon cooked? Raw.  | ||

If you look, they DO have a bacon-flavored "personal lubricant" | ||

The Copper Kettle Brewery near Denver had a Bacon Stout on tap for a very short while... that was surprisingly good. http://www.copperkettledenver.com/ It's not on their current tap list, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it reprised. | ||

Nice to find where Think Geek gets their Bacon products. Thanks! A buddy is a master brewer, and one year brought "bacon beer" to camp. He'd smoked several batches of grain to different times & brewed them. He says it ranged from "hmm, smokey" to "damn that's smokey" to "OMG it's BACON!" and that's what he brought. No actual bacon involved. Great flavor, but not a daily drink to my peasant tastes. The bacon bowl ( seen in catalogs ) seems like an awesome idea. Make doctors heads explode, but still....... Fill those with darn near anything, I think my sister's 5 cheese- mac & cheese would be perfect. As would a wide variety of foods, from cardiac specials to "healthy for you" salads. Bacon Sundae? Hmm. Hard to justify going that far for a sundae, but I've done stranger things. | ||

Candied bacon...gotta try this! Rub brown sugar on both sides, fry as typical. don't put it on paper towels after cooking. enjoy! | ||

The OP got me curious and so i ordered a mini bacon lovers gift set for $19.99. Man the bacon salt is so damn good. I tried it out on a grilled cheese sandwich and wow it was delicious! So then i took some lightly salted and de shelled pistachios dampened them a titch and threw them in a little plastic container sprinkeled on some bacon salt(hickory flavor) and shook em up. Wow it really made them pop and they were amazing! I let my GF open the package when i got it and she could not stop laughing for 15 minutes when she pulled out the bacon lip balm! | ||

OK..... The wife and I have found a new to us method of cooking bacon. It is awesome! Ever try BAKING bacon on a drip pan? She spaced twelve strips of bacon flat out on an oven drip pan. She did it at 350F for an undetermined amount of time, just by watching it. It came out perfect. The grease all dripped off as it cooked, no flipping necessary, it stayed totally flat, did not spatter the oven, and retained it's full size and thickness.  Who would have figured that? 56 years of loving the flavor of pan fried bacon has been all wrong! It could easily be cooked in this method and retain it's ability to be used as an edible bikini.....or what ever.  It could even be shaped before cooking. Just keep the dogs locked in the other room! | ||

Many, if not most, restaurants that serve a lot of breakfast bake their bacon first thing in the day, then keep it in warmers. I used to think that they cook 3 slices at a time when you order, my wife, a long-timer hash-slinger, disabused me of that notion when she told me how much bacon she'd eat at work. (A lot.) | ||

I bake bacon on foil on a sheet pan. It fries up in it's own fat, stays flat, but does shrink. I toss the paper towels I use to drain/pat dry the bacon into the grease, fold, crimp, & discard. I'll have to try the brown sugar trick. The best bacon I've found locally is some Amish stuff I get from a farm stand near Dansville, NY. I like the Wright brand ( Sam's Club ) but it's not as good as the local stuff.... duh. But since you can't always get exotic small company bacon... here's a taste test. Interesting is that the "best" & "Worst" are the same bacon, just sliced different, as the smoke is absorbed only on the outside of the meat, and you get that smoke flavor from the edge of the bacon. http://www.cooksillustrated.com/taste_tests/593-su permarket-bacon |
