In my usual perusing of these forums, I found them disappointingly devoid of bacon related subject matter.
Let this thread serve as a platform for any discussion regarding bacon, salted pork, and furthermore.
Unsure how to get started? Follow this useful flowchart.

I was shocked and awed that a coworker of mine (of a particular faith that does not believe in the consumption of pork products) extolled the virtues of *BACON*.
Nearly floored me, even.
And then they explained that *BACON* doesn't have to come from pork, it's just the common American perception of it...
*mind blown*

I, for one, really enjoyed playing Pathfinder Society Scenario 6-04: Bacon Below.

Today is the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, who was once rumored to have used Bacon in order to write his plays...
As a vegetarian, I am a great fan of what my family calls 'Fakon' -- no meat smoky harvest strips that can be microwaved crisp and inserted into sandwiches with lettuce and tomato.
Hmm
Actually thinly sliced smoked tofu makes a good vegan bacon when fried.
|
|
Oh, that sounds so yummy! I'll have to try that since my family loves tofu! It's always nice to find another way to make it.
And if you count Hong Kong martial arts movies as inspiration, tofu clearly has mystical properties, as shown in this tofu fight!
To bring this thread back to its original subject matter, in the very first We Be Goblins game I ever played, a disgruntled goblin decided to go off script and battle Squealy. The crowd was upset when he emerged victorious until he offered... bacon!
Hmm
When I played them, I played them in a weird order Too, then Free, then Be.

Yes we do. We're missing bacon.

Bacon-related question here that came up during our current session: can Riddywipple be de-clawed? Our mystic theruge is moving to a place with hardwood floors and doesn't want him to scuff it up.
The character in question is neutral good, so there shouldn't be an alignment shift. Also Riddywipple is under the effects of insanity and is currently trying (futility) to kill him.

I do not approve of this thread!

I want a 30 page thread on the DC to jump over a 6 inch piece of bacon.
And then a 20 page thread about whether you can remember the bacon you may or may not have eaten last session.
And then a 10 page one about being able to recognize if this piece of bacon is the same type of bacon I had 3 sessions ago without a Knowledge: White Meat roll.

But let's be clear here, we're talking about proper bacon, rather than the far inferior American attempt, right?

Well the loser had to eat nothing but boiled food fish and chips for the next millennium so...

Made a sandwich with this just yesterday for my newly vegetarian daughter. She loved it.
So what city is BaCon being held in this year?

As someone with first hand knowledge of the pork processing industry (my day job is working for the largest pork processing company in the US. I trust you can Google that, if you'd rather know specifically who), I can tell you that you are wrong, on several fronts.
1. True bacon is cured and smoked pork belly. To legally label a product as "Bacon" without any qualifiers, it must be pork belly that is cured and smoked. All other products require further parsing in the description that must be prominently displayed on the labeling.
2. "Canadian Bacon" is neither bacon nor is it ham. It is a cured pork tender loin. Ham is from the rear portion of the hog. The muscles that make up that portion of the animal are significantly leaner (less marveling and connective tissue) and have a higher density of glands, than other parts of the animal that are further forward.
3. Modern Bacon is an American invention. As such, it is far superior than all other versions (I am looking directly at you prosciutto) of processed pork products.

Applewood smoked is by far the best (and coincidently the signature flavor for the facility at which I am closest to), as some may prefer hardwood smoked (hickory being the predominant wood). The fruit wood smoked flavors are lighter and sweeter and produce a product that is worthy of being the center of the plate versus an ingredient among many (such as diced on a salad or added to a hamburger).

Knew a guy growing up who raised hogs and smoked his own bacon and hams.
Peach wood smoked bacon is generally not available at the retail level (i.e. at the supermarket), but is available through the foodservice channel (i.e. restaurants) or smaller delis or meat markets.
Totally shameless cross-post...
If I have a Ring of Seven Colorsand I assume songbird form, can I eat bacon faster?

No but you can probably get to the bacon faster. Which might be just as good.

I've heard that birds that live in urban areas are more bold about stealing food from people. This makes me wonder if there are thieving magpies that make their nest out of bacon. Gingerbread House? No! This is an Applewood Baconhouse.
Yeah time to make that never-ending bacon wondrous item.
That's an artifact, minimum
