Jbcurio scanned this ad for Swift’s Premium Bacon from a 1947 National Home Monthly.

Note that it includes another depiction of my girlfriend and me.  Except for the artistic license of using pineapple.

Colchu took this nice bacon on a stick picture.  And then a wonderful comment follows… “bacon makes everything taste better, even sticks”

If you have not seen the picture of a girl holding a sign reading REJECT CHRIST RECEIVE BACON sign then go see it now.  Or forever hold your piece.  Of bacon.

I don’t have an iPod but if I did I would want it to look like this.  It isn’t hard to appreciate the marbling of that cut of meat!

My popcorn taste has evolved.  I used to love air popped popcorn.  Then microwave popcorn was my favorite.  But for about 10 years now I have been stuck on popcorn popped in a pan with olive oil.  Sometimes I’ll warm some butter in the microwave and drizzle that on.  Usually some salt goes on — either regular table salt or popcorn salt until I received the gift of Bacon Salt.

My girlfriend doesn’t like her popcorn bacony though so that’s a good way for me to claim a batch of popcorn for myself!

The Peter Luger Steakhouse has a slice of bacon so thick that it is served as an appetizer by the slice.  Check out the menu.  Michael Chu took a photo of one of the (what’s a good word that denotes a size bigger than a slice but smaller than a slab?) bacon.  Check out that thick bacon.

CookingForEngineers.com has a great analysis of Chili’s claim that they have the “thickest bacon you’ve ever seen.”

From the article… “ From my pocket, I produced calipers with which I proceeded to measure the thickness of the bacon…”

“…they served bacon that was (to an accuracy of 1/128th of an inch) 3/16 in. thick (4.75 mm ± 0.2mm) after cooking.”

Read Michael Chu’s full article about Chili’s triple thickness bacon.

It would be almost impossible to invent a new bacon thing.  You’d have to go extremely silly in order to do something with bacon that has not been done or at least thought of before.  Perhaps a bacon wheelbarrow.  Or bacon throwing stars for your favorite ninja.

I was contemplating Bacon Salt and wondered if bacon sugar would be good.  You know, a spoon full of bacon-sugar makes the medicine go down.  And bacon-sugar on the right breakfast cereal might taste good.

People are already making sugared bacon by using brown sugar or a cinnamon and sugar mixture…

“Roll (or pat or shake) raw bacon in brown sugar and place strips on any flat pan with sides. Bake in a slow oven (275 to 300 degrees) for about 25 to 30 minutes until dark brown. You may turn over once with a pincher or tongs. When bacon appears well done, remove with tongs and DRAIN ON BROWN PAPER very thoroughly (grocery bags are very good for this). As it cools, it will get hard and can then be broken into smaller pieces or served whole. This tedious chore can be done earlier in the day and stored in aluminum foil, then reheated to serve.”
