Well, just me, but if it isn't pork, it isn't bacon. You could call it turkey-bacon or some such, but don't try to convince me it's bacon unless it is. :rofl:

And after we have cleared the hurdle of it's pork, then we need to consider what part of the pig it is from, and how it was prepared for cooking. :hmm:

Eventually, we will arrive at ... Bacon!

Enlightening series anyway. Thanks for sharing.

Worst bacon I ever had was halal beef bacon. Best bacon I ever had was organic pork bacon from a pig named Wilber.

 

[hussaf]

Am I the only one who likes bacon, but thinks this current bacon craze has jumped the shark?

I mean, I like bacon. It's fine. Good on a BLT or with eggs. But, keep it the hell off my maple bar.

And if we're going to go nuts about one specific type of protein, let it be a dry aged, 16oz prime rib, medium rare and served with a hot horseradish. That beats bacon in any form.

it's getting real old. Bacon is great. Many other things are also great.

I hear pumpkin coffee stuff is waning in sales finally.

My guess would be one bite at a time.

 

[aedrasteia]

Maybe we shouldn't tell Carol about the 'Bacon of the Month' Club.

umm... yeah. How do you think I know?

 

[hussaf]

My guess would be one bite at a time.

why limit yourself like that??

 

[Xue Sheng]

Yes, yes there are different types of bacon.... and I pretty much don't like any of them... one of the few "really bad for you" foods I don't much care for

No, no your not... and I will, on occasion have a BLT.... but that is about as far as I go down the bacon path... as for the current Bacon craze...... it is more than a little ridiculous

We've tried several types of non-porcine bacon (when my wife got me a bacon-of-the-month-club membership one year), but we've always come back to pig.

you don't have to just eat strips of bacon. It's a great flavor additive to soups, sauces, and other dishes. It can also be a great texture device or you can just render the fat or inside it's flavor on something else.

Stop!!!!!!!!
I live in a country in the ME where bacon is banned!!!
Stop talking about that gift of the gods!!!
Unless someone here is on a US base nearby and can get me a pound or twenty?????

Danish Bacon for me.

I think the most unusual thing I made from bacon was a pie crust that was made with rendered bacon fat instead of Crisco. I used it with an apple pie and the taste was amazing. I'm not sure how the flavors would blend a more delicate flavor of pie, but I would definitely do that for a spicier pie such as apple or pecan.

 

[hussaf]

bacon and apple is a smart combo. This time of year bacon and squash hash is a good idea or squash bisque with bacon garnish.

I save fat when I make bacon and use it for cooking... got that from my grandma.

Not limiting...just savoring.

This is a killer-great post!
Thanks for showing all those options.
Bacon or pork definitely not my go-to protein source, too fatty, but I do get into it now and then purely for enjoyment or just as a break from fish or chicken/turkey. I would love to get my hands on some of that elk bacon or try some peppered bacon (probably easy enough to do at home); would also like to get into that venison bacon but not sure how as have never heard of or seen this, even in the markets or at the deer farms...
