quotes about bacon

I’m going to continue the bacon theme for one more post.  This time I’m going to list a few quotes about bacon.  (This is not all the quotes I have that refer to bacon, but the ones mostly about bacon.)  Enjoy…

I’m not Canadian, although I tend to like their bacon.

Cookin’ MC’s like a pound of bacon. ~ Vanilla Ice, in “Ice Ice Baby”

If it can’t be fried in bacon grease, it ain’t worth cooking, let alone eating. ~ Southern proverb

I’m never gonna get used to the 31st century.  Caffeinated bacon?  Baconated grapefruit?  ADMIRAL Crunch? ~ Fry, from Futurama

I used to have trouble choking down the pills I have to take for controlling my cholesterol, but it’s a lot easier now that I wrap them in bacon. ~ Brad Simanek

The other week, while sitting over a bacon omelet and rambling on about how much I love the “bacon, egg, cheese on toast combo”, a good buddy looks across the table at me and utters a sentence I may never forget as long as I live: “Yeah, because bacon is the candy bar of meat.” ~ Adam McArthur

I’d forgotten what an honest sandwich it is.  For those of you not familiar, “BLT” stands for “bacon, lettuce, and tomato”.  A lot of people think the “B” stands for “bread”, and I can understand someone not wanting a lettuce and tomato sandwich.  But, the bread is implied in the word “sandwich”.  Anyway, it’s an American original.  Everyone should have a BLT as soon as they can. ~ Stephen Colbert

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. ~ Doug Larson

As soon as I learned what the smell of bacon was, I learned how to make it. ~ Rush Limbaugh

There’s egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam; spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam; or lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a mornay sauce garnished with truffle pate’, brandy and a fried egg on top of spam. ~ Monty Python

Veggie bacon?!?  That sounds like a sign of the Apocalypse. ~ Turtle Dundee

more bacon-related ramblings

I realize my last few posts have been about bacon.  Surely no one has a problem with this.  I mean, bacon is one of the best foods, and it goes well with a lot of other foods.  I didn’t intend to keep writing about bacon, but it just kept coming up in conversations.  See, I’m doing it again!  I’m writing about the trend of writing about bacon, and so I’m writing about bacon again.

Actually, I had some bacon earlier for supper…  I stopped by Taco Bell to try their new Bacon Club Chalupa.  It sounded good, and I wanted to research* it for all of the faithful Buffet o’ Blog readers.  (Yeah, I’m willing to make such sacrifices.)  It was pretty good, too.  It had chicken and bacon plus a special sauce, along with the regular taco toppings.  I’d eat it again.

bacon chili-cheese dip

Since we’ve been talking about bacon, I’ll take it a step further.  Wouldn’t bacon be good in cheese dip?  I know, some people get weirded out if their cheese dip has any type of lumps in it.  But I already make a chili-cheese dip that has chunks of meat in it, so what is a few more?  (And my research* has shown that using either Tostitos Scoops or Fritos Scoops is good for it, because you can get the right amount of cheese dip plus the chunks of meat in each bite.)

I think some additional research will be required in this area…  🙂

* I’ve eaten it, and I’m a good judge of cheese dip.

bacon chili

After yesterday’s post on bacon pancakes, some of the staff here at Buffet o’ Blog were discussing new uses of bacon, and we wondered why we never hear anything about a bacon chili…  Surely that would be good!  (FYI, I’m not talking about chili where bacon is the only meat… I mean in addition to the normal quantities of beef, steak, or venison you would use.)

I think some research is in order (and I’m not talking about using Google — I want to try it myself).  We need to have a taste test competition, where we all make our own chili, but you have to include bacon.

Has anybody out there ever had chili with bacon in it?
