My entire clan worships Bacon, and as lesser deities, other mighty swine products as well.
I myself make regular pilgrimages to the shrine of the North Atlantic demi-goddess, Salt Pork.
My grown children, iconoclasts and heretics though they often are, readily acknowledge that pork is indeed the most sacred of all Celtic Soul Foods, shadowing even the divine barley.
So tush on with ye're bad selves . . .
and Get Yer Lard On!

Oh --- I'm so torn ---

Owing to my heritage, I can of course have only a half-portion of that wonderful stuff.

However, I will insist on a full portion of Kevin.

I though it was the Warner Bros. director, Lloyd Bacon. But that would be some Really Old Bacon.... I'll stick to Ham...

Judith sez:

I thought we'd established that a full-portion is fine if part of a Chinese meal. Szechuan carbonara, perhaps?

A coworker told me that once he was out to dinner with a group and somebody had the idea to think of something on the menu that couldn't be improved by adding bacon. The only thing they could come up with was the chocolate sundae.

Makes me think there is a chocolate thread in our future.

Hi,

Yes, I too love bacon - and we in Canada have two kinds, strip & back - so ha, ha!!

I do love a good pork chop or two and have even been known to devour pigs feet or pork hocks or whatever you call them.... Yummy!!!

I've had diced bacon on a hot fudge sundae . . it wasn't too shabby, though I doubt I'd suggest it very often in mixed company.
Does kinda harken to mind a food suggestion I've made online before (TCM site or here, can't recall) of mashing M&M's into cream cheese, and spooning that combo into spicy chicharones.
Now that's a treat fit for the Gods!!

It's not quite a sundae, but there is this.

Och, Jon, 'tis a mad magician ye are!

My mind reels, my parched lips gasp, Mickey dances again with brooms & pails, and midway between my brain & my belly, ferocious Aztec gods jig in wild abandon to a devilish Nova Scotian hornpipe.

Bacon & Chocolate ?!!!
Truly, Worlds now Collide!

And how about Irving Bacon (was he Lloyd's brother)? To my New York ears, there was always something contradictory about that name, like saying Schlomo Piggott.

The choco-bacon thing sounds fine to me -- the salt of the bacon would be a nice compliment to the bitterness of dark chocolate. I'm surprised our upscale chocolatiers here haven't been pushing the concept; they wrap -- oh, sorry -- enrobe -- just about everything else in chocolate. Probably a shelf-life issue. The concept of chocolate and rancid bacon isn't quite as alluring.
