Who wasn't craving a BLT until I mentioned it? Who was getting ready to have one anyway? And the $64,000 question, how many pieces of bacon do you use for a sandwich?
I love bacon!!!!
I usually use 2-3 pieces when I make a bacon sandwich
Bacon is the crack cocaine of food. I'll just take the hot strips, fresh from the grill, sizzling - all nice and crunchy, and thick. Yummo-O. Pretty much proof that being an omnivore has it's own rewards.
The real question begging to be asked is:
How may slices of bacon get cooked vs the number that actually make it onto the sammy?
Joanne, that is known as B.A. or bacon attrition. Scientists can't figure it out. It's the dark matter of the food universe!
Now if only they could find a way to make bacon just as tasty without it being so greasy...

Bacon grease is kitchen gold. Always save the grease!

Outdoor camping gold as well. Fried potatoes tastes great out there with it. Take a cleaned used metal bean can with a top, pour the excess grease from breakfast into the can, let cool, put the top on, put in cooler.
BLT only in summer when my tomatoes ripen. The store bought, even the expensive hothouse types don't compare. Two strips per sandwich, any more does not add to the flavor, extra strips do not make it to the sandwich. I only have the potatoes, bacon and egg breakfast when camping. NEVER put your fresh good tomatoes in your refrigerator or cooler, it kills the tang!

Just for the record, I've been a vegetarian for 16 years, but lol this is the most awesome thread title ever. :D
The USA has great bacon really thin so you can crisp it up. Australia seems to go for a thicker cut which is difficult to crisp, still tastes great. I've never been a BLT girl but I love bacon toast sandwich, preferably with cream cheese on the toast.
Never thought of keeping the fat/grease, what a great idea. The added flavour would make a sort of frying stock.
Mmm dinner time.

A little paper kitchen towel is very handy where bacon is concerned..

True that, The butcher at the supermarket puts packages of fresh cut thick bacon slices out at a good price :) Living alone, I don't need a big package of the thin sliced pre-packaged stuff... I get better quality bacon for less coin and it all gets eaten were as the pre-packaged stuff will cost more and will go bad about half way through
Hard to go past a fried-egg and bacon sanger with HP sauce.
Apparently the smell of bacon cooking brings more vegetarians unstuck than anything else.

Oh, I thought this thread was about "Sir Francis (http://www.deltaxchange.com/hosting/showthread.php?t=30)", sorry my bad! Quote"Hence the fiction . . . Having first determined the question according to his will, man then resorts to experience; and bending her into conformity with his placets, leads her about like a captive in a procession."

and which is still better than what a lot of "us moderns" do which is DENY EXPERIENCE and REALITY altogether! )
Sir Francis? Wow, old school. I'm sure more people know the name Kevin Bacon then that dusty old fart.

So it's not about Kevin Bacon either? Damn, I thought the entire thread was about how people wanted to eat him! :)
Well though it hard to imagine Kevin Bacon has been around so long he's a dusty old fart too, hell, they are even beginning to re-make his first movies.

Hey, watch it! You and I ARE dusty old farts! ! "Butt Buddies" forever (as my 12 year old would say - he loves tomatos but won't eat 'em with bacon and/or lettuce!)

On another note ... I actually don't like bacon that much! :O
Everything, everything, tastes better with bacon. Even bacon.
Oh, recipe time.
Vanilla ice cream, bacon, maple syrup.
I usually cook some maple bacon, then use the fat to cook potatoes. Haven't had any in a while, though. I should remedy that...

I'm more of a Regular Ordinary Swedish Mealtime person myself. I don't think they did anything with bacon yet though. Mayonnaise, on the other hand...let's just say it's good for you.

Imagine Mayo made with rendered Bacon fat.. :icon_chew:
That...might make me stop hating mayo...
Mayo=Bacon Dipping Sauce....
Bacon is probably one of the single most tasty foods on the earth. It's weird because people think it's so bad for you that they run away from it, but the fact is is that it's so tasty that you don't need a lot of it, and it is very satisfying because it has protein, fat, and extreme flavor.

Strange I really don't like pork, but I love bacon.
I had some bacontoday actually!
When I have a bacon sandwich, after frying the bacon, fry the bread crusts in all the bacon juice leftover, then you get crusts that taste like bacon!! Its amazing I tell you!
I save all my animal fat but i use it to start fires in my wood stove or to burn in my oil lamp. Too much saturated fat for my liking. As for bacon we have local amish raised pigs and they sell some great bacon which i like in the thicker slices and cooked at a high heat til crisp.
Bacon flavored bread.......brilliant!
I put crumbled bacon on my pizza sometimes :)
