Super Bacon. It needs a cape.
And Bacon increases its awesomeness exponentially when crispy.0 -

But they taste so good!NOT so awesome. Turkey-bacon....well Ok if necessary. Don't eat pigs.
Plus, turkeys don't have bacon ;D0 -
Once while bored at work we dared our chef to make pancacon - bacon coated in pancake batter and deep fried, pairs nicely with maple syrup.
*edit*
And then we made him make it for us all the time.0 -
It's super awesome. I had 3 pieces of thick-sliced pepper bacon for breakfast today, in fact. BACON!
Ohhhhh I love pepper bacon...it's been sooo long since I've had some great bacon0 -
So what? If eaten in moderation, it's fine. Bacon is SUPERFOOD!!!!!1 oz of bacon has 151 calories, 3 % Saturated fat and 2% sodium and no nutritional value other than the 2-3 grams of protein and it does have nitrates. If you love salty greasy food so much that you don't mind high cholesterol, hypertension and carcinogens, go for it.0 -

I eat nitrate free bacon and I cook often with bacon fat. I have excellent lipid levels and no hypertension.
It also makes my eyes shine and my hair lustrous. Life is too short to not eat bacon.0 -
Bacon is awesome...........
However, bacon that comes from a free range pig or a wild boar and is free from the processing and nitrates is SUPER-AWESOME.
I love FRESH applewood smoked bacon straight from the smoke house on a farm.0 -
It's NOT super awesome. . . .
It's MAGICAL!!!!!0 -

What? Low calorie, good protein, relatively low fat, what's not to love?Bacon is the anti-Christ of good nutrition. Of course, that's what makes it tasty.
There are way more nitrates in a salad than you find in bacon. Nitrates are naturally occurring in almost all vegetables, particularly leafy greens. Also, there hasn't been a single real study that has shown any kind of causal link between nitrates and any health problems, and they aren't carcinogens. Which is a good thing, because if they were, salads would be off limits.
And center cut bacon has about 70-80 calories per serving (2-3 slices, depending on thickness.) and 7 grams of protein, compared with 4 grams of fat, and only about 200 mg of sodium.0 -

I'm going to do this but minus the deep frying bit. I actually just saw it done the other day. Brilliant idea!0 -
Holy Shnikies! I'm editing my Saturday breakfast to accommodate pancacon.
Pan fry it first...then dip in batter and recook.0 -
Funny when the "health police" come in and bash bacon! Of course they are here to lose weight because all they did was overeat "healthy" foods...................I eat nitrate free bacon and I cook often with bacon fat. I have excellent lipid levels and no hypertension.

I eat bacon every other day and consider it a staple in my diet. And have never had high LDL cholesterol or hypertension either.0 -
Super awesome! Just had bacon & eggs for dinner. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have at least three kinds of bacon in my frig right now :happy:0

can I come live with you? HAHAHAHASuper awesome! Just had bacon & eggs for dinner. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have at least three kinds of bacon in my frig right now :happy:0 -
I make bacon jam for most of my relatives and friends at holiday time. It is GLORIOUS! Then, of course, both my house and I smell like bacon for weeks. And I end up with lots of rendered bacon fat to do tasty things with (bacon fat pie crust for quiche, just as an example).

I am a purist... Bacon is only good with bacon...no syrup no nothing else.
But I actually prefer the other parts of a pig... ham...sausage,... ribs....pork shoulder.... pulled pork
Dont limit the goodness that is swine by limiting it to bacon, that my friends is blasphemy.0 -

No flipping way, someone other than my family uses the word Shnikies?!? I thought one of my sisters just made it up. Whoa, my mind is blown. And just as I'm off to bed.
And yes, I am buying Bacon to try this whole pancacon thing and the chocolate dipped Bacon. Hard to believe I'm losing weight and talking like this.

It is simultaneously both awesome AND super awesome. What other food can claim that?

You should try eggs fried in rendered bacon fat (lard) - YUM!! It might loosen you up a bit
Nope I would break out in hives. Truth is, I am seriously allergic to bacon.0 -
Super awesome!!!! I looove bacon! Especially from my daddie's farm instead of the store. :P0

You know I saw a recipe for bacon jam quite a while ago and have been wanting to try it. Thought it sounded delicious...:D0 -
Love it. Had it on the weekend and it was amazing. So good had it yesterday too! I'm going to try and have bacon and eggs once a week from now on. Great in moderation.0
