My bunker is stocked to the ceiling with gold, guns, and bacon.

I have switched bacon providers because my former provider has been selling his stock of bacon to restaurants instead.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that's legit recession proof is writing articles about what is recession proof.

People think I'm weird in that I eat meat/cheese tacos topped with shredded potatoes and 3 slices of bacon. I also make pigs-in-a-blanket with beef hotdogs cooked in bacon grease. Bacon, cheese and the greasy hotdog get wrapped in biscuit dough which is also brushed with bacon grease.

I also grill shrimp wrapped in bacon. French fries can be cooked in bacon grease, delicious.

Bacon is the deliciousness carved right out of god's ass.

There is a reason for the futures market in pork bellies.

This is an internet driven bacon bubble. That's serious business. Get ready to short pork belly futures when the new growth slows if you want to be a Bashar of Bacon Barter.

I always thought bacon came from the side or the back of the animal.

Aside from that, isn't BEER also recession proof??

Yesterday I threw a 6lb slab of nice thick pork belly in a salt and brown sugar cure, tossed in some crushed black pepper, oregano, rosemary, crushed garlic and am letting it sit in that for the next week before throwing it on the smoker with a blend of apple, pear and pecan wood.

So ya, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

One of my supervisor at the bank always bragged about how he was knowledgeable. He said two things will thrive in the recession, Alcohols and Casino.

He doesn't talk much any more.

As do the shareholders at Pfizer. I wonder how sales of Lipitor are doing with this craze on?

If I was the tinfoil hat type I'd think the whole 'bacon everything' is a stupid meme developed by BigPharma to boost statins sales.

Bacon? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that bacon first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the bacon source that is produced here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first.

Wasn't there a Fark article a couple weeks ago claiming bacon was in trouble because of stupid people and the ol' Swine Flue?

Was that people switching from microbrew to Nature's Best?

wilde_at_heart: I always thought bacon came from the side or the back of the animal.

In the US and Canada, when you say just "bacon" without any other qualifier (such as "back") it is assumed to be made from pork belly.

That's too bad the Consumerist says bacon sales are up.

We've failed as farkers if we let this decline in consumption continue further.

I had two slices of delicious slices of bacon with lunch today with a small stack of these pancakes apparently made with lead as the primary ingredient. Can I please have fluffier pancakes, Pancake House in Portland, Oregon out by Lloyd's Center.
