Never under-estimate the power of bacon to launch an endless thread of conversation. Bet this thread becomes the longest thread ever in the history of the forum. Why I bet someday our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will carry on the worshipful litany on bacon. Sociologists many millenia from now will mine the archives of this very thread intent on understanding the source of the Bacon Enlightenment we started her - nah You…You Cindy Lou - started with one corny hambush joke.
There was Buddha, Mohammed, Joseph Smith and Cindy Lou. But our sacred worship of bacon is far more than some stupid dummy believe what we say or we’ll kill you religion. Ours is based on community…excess…hedonism…and ritual.
So I just wanted to let you know that your perverted love of bacon has Hijacked
Myspace, I went to check my account this morning and there was bacon everywhere!
I guess it is an advertizment for Wendys new Baconator,
It was gross, bacon shouldn’t be wallpaper,
:bacon
I was saving them for her on our second Colorado trip of the summer to a cabin above lake Irwin… Unfortunately a bear got the ice chest with her pig ears and lamb bones. She ran that nasty beast off in a fit of barking and leaping and become the heroine of the day.
Thanks for posting those pictures. While I also enjoy bacon I have to admit the festivarian pictures were even more enjoyable to view! In fact, I applaud those consuming the Knob Creek directly from the bottle. Top notch, top notch!
These pictures remind me of my ultimate goal. Thanks, brother. I need to remember!
Wow…I had never considered bacon as wallpaper until this very moment!!! Thanks Christy!!! I have a few pounds of bacon leftover from the last festival. I’ll run home tonight and start stapling it to my wall!
Dearest Hippie was the one who handled the main part of the pig,
I stay away because I am allergic, well I did cook the Pork Rinds… Oh if I could only eat them
but no the pig was pulled off the grill and allowed to “rest” then processed out
into servable chuncks…Most pig Fluids leaked out in the process of cooking and would pool on the surface
in little lakes of pig grease… oh and salt tooo.
:bacon
oh man what I wouldn’t give to have gotten all those piggy grease fluids. I bet I could have gotten at least 10 mega thermo nuclear grease bombs out of one whole pig! :eek
Now I am jealous.
Jerry…will you come roast a pig in my yard? I need the raw materials.
ST. PAUL (AP) ― Wondering what’s on the menu at this year’s Minnesota State Fair? Food officials are introducing Pig Lickers, Pickle Pops and Big Fat Bacon.
There was some hesitation about allowing something called Pig Lickers to be sold at the fair. But Charlie Torgerson, who co-owns several Famous Dave’s Franchises, says the chocolate-covered bacon decorated with some sea salt is the best meat out there.
If you want the bacon but not the chocolate, you might try the Big Fat Bacon. It’s one-third pound of bacon, fried and caramelized with maple syrup. It’s served on a stick.
And a Pickle Pop? It’s simply pickle juice frozen in a push-up sleeve. Fair vendor Preferred Pickle came up with the idea after years of serving deep-fried pickles on a stick.
The Minnesota State Fair runs August 21 to September 1.
Here it is, what everyone is talking about… Marini’s Famous Chocolate Covered Bacon!
It’s not just for breakfast anymore!
The rumors are true! We’ve married two of life’s most tastiest foods… Bacon & Chocolate. We start with hickory smoked bacon and it’s cooked in the oven until golden & crispy then we
smother it in our special blend of chocolate, to give you a taste sensation like nothing else you’ve ever had before.
Mmmm… it’s a delightful combination of salty & sweet that will leave you craving for more!
