BACON! What's it best on?

Asked by mjchatter (433points) February 8th, 2009

I Know – everything is better with Bacon but – what really is Perfect with Bacon? I love fried egg sandwiches with cheese and bacon but, I have to say, Mac & Cheese is pretty amazing with bacon (and jalapenos)

i like my bacon on potatoes. the flavors combine nicely

janbb's avatar

My favorite is just bacon on a dry hard roll so I guess I’m with asmonet.

jonsblond's avatar

It adds a great taste to potato salad.

and zombie brains

Allie's avatar

By itself. Extra cripsy, please.

Or on a biscuit!

asmonet's avatar

@Allie: That one single Bacon will be sad, lonely and unsatisfying. Add more bacons.

@jonsblond: Lurve!

Bacon is Meat Candy

and a great example of the value of a degree in design

Here’s a bacon concoction worth considering.

I’ve also heard of making a bacon cheeseburger and putting it on Krispy Kremes instead of buns. Man…

Also, Seattle is the home of Bacon Salt which is pretty much up there on my top list of inventions.

Bacon Lettuce Tomato Avocado Sammitches aka BLTA

@figbash, ack! That may be the pinnacle in white trash cooking, surpassing ketchup sandwiches on wonderbread and deep-fried twinkies.!

@figbash: Bacon Salt is AMAZING. I’ve always loved the tag line. Gives me the impression it was written by a hungry college boy. Possibly drunken.

AlfredaPrufrock's avatar

Apparently the krispy kreme burger is known as a Luther Burger

figbash's avatar

@asmonet: Yes!! I think it was actually two bacon-loving hipsters. The thing is that it really makes everything taste amazing. I put it on popcorn, chili, mac-n-cheese, and actually sprinkle it over the maple syrup on you-know-what cakes ; )

Man, I seriously want some bacon now…

asmonet's avatar

Ooh, Ooh, Oh. What a tease.
You-Know-What-Cakes, indeed!

hitomi's avatar

After going 6 months without American bacon I can safely say that bacon is best with BACON!!!

My little brother tried to steal a piece of my bacon yesterday at breakfast and I almost ripped his arm off….

I suppose that saying I like bacon attached to a living pig (and feeling that that is where it belongs) puts me in the minority here?

Thanksgiving Green Beans.

Cook several strips of bacon and crumble.

Cook green beans until just tender.
Saute minced shallots, mushrooms, chopped toasted walnuts.
Add 1/4 c. whipping cream.

Put sauce over green beans and stir until thoroughly coated. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and serve.

Bacon waffles. (Beyond Good)

BTAC Omelet
Bacon Tomato Avocado & Cheese.
Spoon sour cream and salsa over the top.

California BLTs as Buster said. Bacon and avocado are wonderful together.

@AlfredaPrufrock – He didn’t. Oh, Luther…!

When I was a kid, my aunt would sometimes make a bacon and creamy peanut butter sandwich on toast for my lunch. It was pretty good. I haven’t had that for years and years. And years. I like bacon, but I don’t eat it much.

TaoSan's avatar

on Eva Mendez just before making…..well…... you get the picture

mjchatter's avatar

@figbash WOW – I think Looking at that Picture actually hardened my arteries! That looks Amazing!

wenbert's avatar

Bacon + Rice = FTW!

figbash's avatar

@AlfredaPrufrock: Hah! It certainly does not look very classy, but to round out that posting, I once made a bacon birthday cake for an ex who was insane about bacon and hated sweets.

It wasn’t a sugary cake, it was more like a really dense bread. The main ingredients included bacon, port wine and gruyere which go really well together and certainly present better than the bacon and cheese loaf ; )

@gailcalled: I’m in both camps, I’d love a pet pig. But I ain’t against eating bacon in front of him. He is after all, delicious.

TaoSan's avatar

@asmonet

Hey, the pig wouldn’t mind eating it, so why should you?

@gailcalled

Civility ends when BACON gets involved

asmonet's avatar

I mean honestly, bacon isn’t a choice. It’s just…gonna happen. Bacon is too delicious.

gailcalled's avatar

@TaoSan: Tell that to the pig.

asmonet's avatar

Pigs eat bacon too.
And I would if I could but last I heard, Wilbur and Babe weren’t real. I don’t know of any other pigs that speak English.

/cry

TaoSan's avatar

@gailcalled

My (bacon related) cowardice prevents me from it :/

I’d look into its eyes thinking can’t we be friends? But then BAAAACOOOON

gailcalled's avatar

@Tao: Perhaps he is thinking, “Um, roast leg of TaoSan.”

90s_kid's avatar

It’s best on nothing :S

TaoSan's avatar

@Gail

actually I’m sure he is, pigs are “Omnivore Terrible”, even cannibalistic if hungry enough

PS

When you mentioned it I had to think about this :)

AstroChuck's avatar

Gail beat me to it. It’s best on a living, breathing pig.

The chef at the farm was experimenting last week and made a lobster stuffed pork roast wrapped in bacon – OMG!

eponymoushipster's avatar

steve6's avatar

Wilted lettuce with sugar and bacon

steve6's avatar

Shrimp wrapped in bacon on the grill

marinelife's avatar

@cprevite Hold the pork roast. I like my lobster naked.

xxxciter's avatar

(it all sounds so good, but…)

1 – “a plate” (I love a big pile of bacon for Breakfast all by itself)
and
2 – BBBLT (Extra Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich)

but, I’m gonna try the “fried egg sandwiches with bacon”—I’ve never tried that with bacon…yum!

mjchatter's avatar

@tyrantxseries Ok… AWKWARD! (but I would probably try it)

90s_kid's avatar

@cprevite
OMG=Good or bad?
@tyrantxseries
The martini looks intoxicated? Is that a serious drink?

kruger_d's avatar

Fried with mushrooms. It actually makes the bacon taste better!

cookieman's avatar

@90s_kid: OMG = Super Yummy.

TaoSan's avatar

I wonder, since some put vanilla or strawberry and the likes on their err…ehems… before err…eheming, how would a bacon-wrap work….

smirk

cookieman's avatar

It’d bring new meaning to the term “porking”.

BluRhino's avatar

This has got to be one of the best uses for bacon EVER…check out the Bacon Bra!

TaoSan's avatar

DROOOOOOOOL!

marinelife's avatar

@cprevite That should go in Harp’s best ever puns thread.

cookieman's avatar

@BluRhino: That is disturbing, yet oddly arrousing.

@Marina & @TaoSan: Thanks. I lurve puns.
