you grill the bacon-not to a crisp. you fry an egg over easy. you salt and pepper and put it all between two slices of cheap white bread. you douse liberally with hp sauce. et voila!

it is what i NEED the morning after the night before.

I've made bacon. (Please, no Pork Dukes-style jokes here..)

Best bacon you'll ever eat is to DIY. Buy a pork belly, some Prague Powder, mix up spices 'n herbs you like, cure the thing for at least a week, cold smoke it and you'll have bacon like you've never eaten before.

You worship bacon?

There are worse things to worship than bacon. God and Jimi Hendrix, to name two examples.

Wonderful bacon experiences:

There is/was a place in Bozeman, MT called the Garage where I had the best burger ever several times over the course of week. Pink beef, spinach, blue cheese, and bacon. The bacon makes everything special.

On the absolute flipside of quality, there's a place in Michigan called Tony's, I think, that serves heart-stopping quantities of bacon when you order. It comes as a giant tangled cooked mass in a basket. It's about a pound of bacon and costs $4 or so. This has got to be the cheapest shit bacon you can find, but having that much in front of you at once is a nice treat.

I once had a bacon roll with 6 rashers of bacon on it.

I have never eaten a better roll.

Bacon, and it's cousins (Pancetta, Black Forest Ham etc) are all great.

I think I prefer bacon in a roll.

Nico Adie is with it on the bacon roll thing. The bacon buns at the Lithuania Healthy Foods restaurant on Halsted and 32nd are almost magical. Open one up and bits of bacon and wonderful mildly greasy liquid tumble out.

How do the Baltic elves get 'em to be so toasty brown and dry on the outside and not hint at the wonderful pig flavored treat inside? Knowing would ruin the magic, I think...

Hey try this.

Put Bacon on a toasted English Muffin with some peanut butter.

And then you eat it.

You can thank me later for that.

One of the purest passions in life. I prefer mine on the "burnt-to-a-crisp-short-of-carbonizing" side.

The fried balls of pure pig fat known in the Czech Republic as škvarky and in the Ukraine as сало also fall into this *pure passion* category.
