I had Rogue's Voodoo Doughnut Maple Bacon Beer a few months back. I thought it was awful. It had this bitter, chemical taste, like bad liquid smoke.

I had Rogue's Voodoo Doughnut Maple Bacon Beer a few months back. I thought it was awful. It had this bitter, chemical taste, like bad liquid smoke.
There are some rauchbiers I've come across that are pretty good. A small brewpub in Manayunk (up in northwest Philly, made a pretty decent one. And a buddy of mine homebrewed one that was really awesome. But I think they can be kind of tough to get right.
Pancakes and bacon. The morning breakfast was good.
Pork Belly?
Throw in an egg and some cheese and you have one of my favorite breakfasts of all. Mmm egg sandwiches. With cheese and bacon.
I haven't had an egg sandwich with lettuce but I'd give it a shot. Mayo's pretty standard topping though, as is ketchup.
Just whatever you do, no tomatoes. Bleugh.
Why would I want to get rid of the egg and cheese? Seriously man.
Could be worse. Could've said Miracle Whip. Bleugh!
I tried an experiment last night. I was making a pot of spaghetti and normally I'm pretty liberal with the salt. I had a package of subpar bacon (hormel... it's... okay) that was opened already, so I thought, instead of pouring salt in the water, I'll toss a slice of bacon. It worked quite well and I will be doing this again.
Also, I just put in an order for Benton's bacon. I've seen them talked about on a couple of shows with some pretty knowledgeable chefs. The bacon probably has one of my favorite reviews for any product ever:
If you have an enemy, somebody that you would really like to do something that will ruin their life. If this person loves Bacon, I mean really loves Bacon....then send him/her a pound of this stuff. At first is will seem as if you have done him/her a major solid, that you are attempting to bury the hatchet.... but then ....the pound will be quickly gone....and he/she is going to have to go back to that stuff they call Bacon at the Grocery Store.... he/she will be standing on the Bacon isle at the store, looking for something comparable to Benton Bacon.... there is nothing comparable to Benton Bacon...and in that moment of frustration and longing...they will know...what you have done to them....you will have ruined them forever for being able to enjoy the readily available stuff. Then they know that you were indeed buried the hatchet.....in their back.
Could be worse. Could've said Miracle Whip. Bleugh!Actually, I meant Miracle Whip. I just call it mayo because it's easier and we always called it mayo while growing up. I like mayo (as long as it's not lite, blah), but always buy Miracle Whip.
Don't do that man. You'll confuse people, and that could end badly. ;)
I was thinking about bringing bacon over to my dnd session. I would cook the strips up, roll them up, and put a toothpick in them. Maybe I'll cut them in half.
Cooking in progress.
My Benton's hickory smoked bacon arrived while I was on vacation. My roommate graciously put it in the fridge for me and amazingly didn't steal any. I'm not sure if I'm gracious enough to share though.
