It's BACON! (new window)

Wulfhardt: Don't forget about Bacon's greasy redneck cousin, Fatback.

ever try scrapple? i've never had the guts.

as for vegetarians longing for bacon, i agree whole-heartedly after seeing my hare krishna vegetarian friend scarf down a batch of that fake bacon crap. i let her know that what she's eating is based on the flavor of an animal product.

just give it up. eat bacon.

all the people denying themselves bacon in this thread are dirty liars.

Des Moines, why, why did I leave you

Bacon....the candy bar of meats.

When I want my crazy ass dog to come inside with great enthusiasm and a sense of urgency, I open the door and scream "BACON!". The little biatch comes running! Some day, I will actually reward her with promised bacon. That is, if I ever fark up a piece of bacon to the point I will not eat it. Which is to say, pretty much never. I mean c'mon man, I will eat bacon off of the floor.

The day that dog sees bacon is the day I die before I can eat it all.

/i really do give her bacon
//once! trained for life after that
///just the hope of sweet sweet bacon has tamed her

Craptacular: havneq: So true - had a vegetarian friend order a gardenburger with bacon on it the other day...

Then, by definition they're not a vegetarian.

I'm a veggie, and Morningstar Farms fakon is actually BETTER than bacon, because it doesn't have all the fat and grease but still has the yummy salty tastes.

Yeah ...
It's Craptacular.

The ladies of Iowa will love me.

You, sir, are either lying or are simply not human.

Oh, vegetarians aren't human, twat_waffle. They are actually a form of sentient rabbit.

Had 3 pork links today but this thread is making me hungry for some Beggin' strips about now. I'll just take a hit off the Bacon bits jar to hold me out.

Andric,
Real Bacon Bits in the 3 OZ jar will fix you right up anytime you need a quick Bacon fix. Just shake out a palm full and enjoy the Porky goodness ..... Mmmmm Salt ..... Pig Meat......mmmmm.

Juniper Jupiter: But how would you...?

Distracted by unexpected truffles at work, won't be home for another hour.

Nope, I have raised a few piggies. I maintain that they're freaking adorable. Also raised pigmy goats, llamas, miniature donkies, chickens, ducks, and we've now peacocks, guinea hens, and a wild opossum that breaks into the coop to eat corn of all things. We've also got a miniature pony and two mini horses but we aren't breeding any young ones.

You want something disgusting don't raise pigs, raise ducks. They will shiat ANYWHERE and it is impossible to do anything about. I've yet to get shiat on by a single chicken and becuase I raise them as pets (and for eggs) I do pick them up and pet them a lot. A duck will shiat on you ever time. If you want something mean try emus, which we had for a month before they ran up the freaking fencing Prince of Persia style and the guys that came to help catch them had to actually choke the freaking things till they went unconcious.

However I can see where you may be coming from. We once made the horrible mistake of trying to transport a pig in the backseat of a truck. Still, given some space they've been much more docile and cleanly than most bird species we've kept. So I still say they're adorable. Oh, they were pot bellied pigs, by the way. I don't think they use them for bacon anyways so I may be way off.

Sorry for long rambling post, I'm depriving myself of sleep for some reason.

Seconded/thirded/whatever - bacon is not a vegetarian's fantasy.

The only things I really miss are turkey at the holidays, and bbq-grilled burgers with my high-school buddies pre-"Big Chill."

To that... if you are hanging out with the people you know from high school and swear you'll be friends forever... the Big Chill is real. My best friend at the time kept saying "it's coming, it's coming..." and we never paid any attention to him, but little by little we all grew apart from each other - somebody getting married here, somebody having a baby there, etc.

None of us have kept in touch for years now.

Moral of the story: treasure your friendships; they are ephemeral.

The High Life Lounge is an awesome bar, but it has nothing to do with bacon.

To the vegetarians in denial - you're not fooling anyone.

uptonogood: i miss iowa.

No, this Miss Iowa.

Well, it is the gateway meat.

I made chicken fried bacon about 4 months ago. I ate three pieces and my arteries still hurt.

Also,




Bacon Thread!

I broke my vegetarian friend last week whilst making bacon for breakfast (and making her scrambled eggs with cheese, too, I'm a good hostess when friends crash at my house drunk).

Totally saw that coming. The only thing that kinda sucked was that it was less bacon for me.

Personally, I don't give a damn about vegetarianism or veganism - if it's locally-produced bacon, I'm happy as can be.

/meat and fish market two blocks from my house
//oh yep, I'm good

I will testify to the power of the bacon.

/Pesco-Vegetarian for over 10 years.
//Wife kept having BLT's a couple times a week for the last couple of months. (IN FRONT OF ME)
///I gave in.
////BLT's are now in the regular dinner and lunch rotation, for both of us.

Craptacular: I'm a veggie, and Morningstar Farms fakon is actually BETTER than bacon, because it doesn't have all the fat and grease but still has the yummy salty tastes.

I'm vegan now. I used to consider 2 pounds of bacon a well balanced meal. The only things I missed were bacon and pepperoni - I tried every replacement for them you can get, and nothing came close to replacing either.

I don't miss them anymore... The smell of either one is pretty unappetizing for me now actually. But back when I wanted it, there was nothing that came close to replacing it.

eeviewontwakeup: And sausage.
Maybe shrimp poppers.

What kind of sausage? I may have some suggestions... For shrimp/prawns, try getting in touch with Vegetarian House (new window) and I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you what they use. I haven't tried it myself, but a seafood lover that I went there with loved it, and I know they import and sell the stuff. They're religious about it (literally), so I couldn't imagine them refusing to help you out.

I came in here to say something about my vegetarian bacon preferences.

Now I can't stop thinking about that forehead.

Mmmmm... water product

hyperspacemonkey: Oddly enough, often vegetarians actually don't long for bacon. Their souls have been replaced with antioxidants. Where did the bacon meme come from, anyway? Was it on a talk show or something? Does Oprah have her own brand of bacon now? Opig? bac0n? Is Dr. Phil prescribing bacon to unemployed transvestite adulterers? I bet that's what all you Farkers are doing, sitting in your bunny slippers, with a big tub of pig-peelings, one greased up bacony hand down your gitches Bundy-style, dreaming about what if Dr Phil had Oprah's powers - he'd be invincible!! NOM NOM NOM Hey you know what would be a cool invention? Tie bacon together and roll it up in a fruit-by-the-foot wrapper. Just hang that sucker off your belt and let that fat fly! *flippitty flippitty flippitty*

I could make millions!

all you non-veggies think, much to my everlasting humor, that we veggies "long for bacon".... *heh heh*

WHAT is with that? why this odd pre-occupation with bacon?

"oh! the ham-anity!"

that's what i came here to say... except 20+ years instead.

didn't like bacon as a kid. must be something wrong with me.
