They shouldnt be allowed to put the sacred word "bacon" on anything made from poultry products...

I agree because it didnt taste at all like bacon.

...and in some Scandinavian countries, sausage is also considered a vegetable.

Of course, potato sausage.

I'd say "facon" is more like it, just a contraction for "fake bacon."

May I offer a belated

I just bought a big package of some sort of greek appetizer that was more or less advertised as a largely vegetable based product, which had as its first ingredient...ground beef.

Plus some nice tzatziki to dip them in...heavy in yogurt, cream cheese and other nice low fat items.

I'm gonna eat them while looking at the package that yells about pine nuts and bulgur wheat and doesnt talk much about the ground beef or the fact that they appear to be deep fried.

On the back it mentions the tzatziki, so thats fat free as well according to my lawyer.

I'm surprised that this important news took so long to come to our attention:

Prairie Orchard Farms in Manitoba told Toronto's Globe and
Mail in March that it has been successfully infusing hogs with
omega-3, the oils that get the best press among fatty acids, since it
is found plentifully in healthful salmon and other seafood. A
laboratory analysis of a slab of Prairie Orchard's "enriched" ham
had the omega-3's of almost one-fourth of a large salmon filet, but
the best news of all was that a 100-gram side of bacon equaled that
of the salmon filet. [Globe and Mail, 3-19-08]

No word on whether that omega-3 was derived from wild salmon or farm-raised...

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

If its from wild salmon, it'll taste better.

Oh my dear god.

In reviewing some new recipes to try out with my new smoker (sitting in the livingroom as we speak) I came across two items of interest.

Lets dispose of the non-bacon-related item first. Its called a "fattie". Yeah, I know.

Basically this is a chub of Jimmy Dean sausage thrown into the smoker and ideally positioned above a lean piece of meat so the fat drips down on it, it is then sliced and eaten separately. In more complex arrangements its flattened, stuffed with mozzarella, pepperoni, tomato paste, onions, garlic and so forth, then rolled and cooked as a 'pizza' item.

On to the bacon product. This is known as an "ABT" or "atomic buffalo turd" or "atomic bear turd".

This is a jalapeno pepper, stuffed with cheese and/or meat, wrapped in bacon, and then cooked on a smoker for about 3-5 hours. There are even special "abt racks" or "chili racks" made to hold these. Most of the recipes involve capped and hollowed peppers stuffed with a mix of cream cheese, cheddar, shredded pork or minced sausage, a bit of spice rub, and then of course, topped and wrapped in bacon.

I'll be making about 3 dozen of these and some form of fattie in the next couple of days.

By the way, the arguments about whether to halve the pepper or take the top off and which stuffings are and are not appropriate ABT items are more hotly disputed than annuities and precious metals are here. And the acronyms are equally mystifying...

The lesser "fattie"

And sliced open...this is a "pizza fattie"

Good man. I'm going to use the thick cut dry cure bacon and go with a mix of apple wood and cherry.

Dude! The primary component is a vegetable! We're immune!
