Quote from: KenHRThis past Tuesday, I made gourmet "squealer" burgers for dinner: bacon crumbled right into the meat.  They were pretty awesome.

Holy crap, that is an awesome idea!  How could I be this old and have never heard of this before?!:eek:   Our society is crumbling.  Excellent excuse to buy some bacon this weekend!

Bacon or bacon bits on pizza is really good.

In the mornings, I used to like bacon and cheese on...bagels.

My girlfriend and I, we love the Iron Chef.  Get tons of inspirations from that.  Apparently, squealers are a delicacy in Texas.

One thing we found is that you need to put quite a bit of bacon into the mix to get the full flavor.  We hit the right balance on the second batch (which also included some habanero powder, paprika, chopped onions and some sort of sweet green Korean pepper from my mother's garden).
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

Holy Frakking Kahless!! That sounds really spicy...hot even. That might be burn my mouth off with its ingedients.

 Evil thought: There are some people locally I could con into eating that by claiming it was really a Klingon dish.


This whole thread is making me hungry.

It's my mother's fault.  She's full-blooded Korean...kimchi (spiced pickled cabbage that made even our Italian neighbors sweat) is a daily dish for her.

The secret, though, is moderation.  Just enough for flavor, not so much for the heat.

Some might call this heresy, but you can make a decent burger with 90% lean beef (I still prefer a fattier mix, but sometimes you gotta work with what you've got!).  I often have to make do without fat (thus less flavor) in a lot of meat dishes when I cook as Meredith is on a diet herself.  Spicing and imaginative use of produce for flavor can bring out a lot of what's supposedly lost.  I like Worcestershire a lot, but then you get into massive sodium territory.

Iron Chef is t3h roxx0rz. I admit I hear more than a bit of Doc Hattori and Fukui when I'm in the kitchen sometimes.

Quote from: RoninTheres a product you should be aware of, Bacon Salt. Whose motto is "Everything should taste like Bacon".

I would totally sprinkle that on my bacon. 'Cuz I loves my bacon.

There's a cafe that I stop at on my way home from work where monthly I'll buy about a pound of cooked bacon and just eat each succulant chewy strip as a meal in itself on the drive home. Diet be damned, you gotta enjoy some of the simpler pleasures in life.

Diced bacon in your pasta sauce or your chilli beans is good. Also in salad.

I once came home after tripping all night, fried up a big meal of bacon, eggs and toast and devoured it. Then I stood up, felt all whirly, and passed out. Bacon attack!

"The morning meal! Shredded swine flesh.. and fried chicken embryos!"

I always remember an episode of Gomer Pyle USMC where he gave his secret of cooking good bacon: sprinkle a little sugar on it while it's sizzling. It works, though it's not really necessary with some of the stuff you get these days, like the premium applewood smoked varieties. And surprisingly, Safeway Select is pretty good, too.

How do I like it? As long as the fat isn't rubbery, I can go anywhere from chewy to so crunchy it explodes when you bite it.

Edit: it's good on pizza.

See, this is the other problem with the whole "Swine" thing.

The pig is the finest of meats, and the term "swine" is far too high an appelation to give to a bunch of pretentious lunatics.  

It's nonsensical.  If anything, to be compared to the fine beast whose very fat carries with it more flavor than almost any other meat put together, should be the highest of compliments.  

Maybe we should call them "smoked oysters" instead.  They're slimy, snot-like, taste horrible, and are by and large a waste of an otherwise fantastic method of food preparation.  That works for me.

Or call them escargo (SP?). They are fairly slimey and sluglike.
