  • Discuss: Regular Bacon vs.Canadian Bacon

    (Regular bacon on left, back bacon aka Canadian bacon on the right) In honour of Canada Day and something dear to my clogged arteries, I bring you this special edition of Discuss. If you had to pick between regular strips of crisp, glorious regular bacon vs. its leaner but just as heavenly cousin, back bacon (aka “Canadian” bacon south of the border), which would you pick? <a href="http://polldaddy.com/poll/3413279/" mce_href="http://polldaddy.com/poll/3413279/">Discuss: Regular Bacon vs. Back aka Canadian Bacon</a><span style="font-size:9px;" mce_style="font-size:9px;"><a href="http://polldaddy.com/features-surveys/" mce_href="http://polldaddy.com/features-surveys/">online surveys</a></span> I’d hate to sound unpatriotic, but my pick is with good ol’ strips of regular bacon. Don’t get me wrong, I love back bacon too, but I prefer its fattier, juicier cousin. Your turn. Happy Canada Day! Discuss formerly known as Question of the Week appears Mondays.

  • Bacon Bits: Snuggly Bacon Toys

    If you've ever dreamt of curling up with a big piece of bacon, then these plush bacon toys are for you. The one on the right, from ThinkGeek says "I'm bacon!" when you squeeze it and has an animated mouth that moves when it talks (it's also perfect for giving your bacon a big ol' kiss - mwah!). Another option (because one plush bacon toy is never enough) is the nervous-looking " Shaky Bacon ". Hey, you'd be a little on edge if there was a sizzling-hot frying pan in your future. Sweet Meats also makes a plush bacon toy, but I'm particularly drawn to the ham bone . Not sure what that says about me.

  • Bacon Bits: Bacon Water – Enough Said

    I love bacon as much as the next person, well truth be told, probably a bit more than the average folk. I’m a firm member of the how-can-I-add-bacon-to-this club, but even I had to admit defeat when I saw bacon and water together in a bottle. If I have to draw the line somewhere in my love of porcine goodness, it’s bacon water. I don't care if it is low fat! To be fair bacon water is designed for pets, but according to its makers, it's “pet parent safe.” You know some bacon fanatic is going to quaff down a bottle or two. Me, I’d probably take a sip for bragging rights, because I’m macho like that, but even I have to admit this is taking bacon loving a titch too far.

  • Bacon Bits: Recipe for Bacon Peanut Brittle

    It’s time for all things bacon. This month’s bacon brilliance comes courtesy of Elizabeth Karmel of Al Dente with her recipe for bacon peanut brittle . Doesn’t that sound amazing? The saltiness of bacon and peanuts , balanced with the sweetness of candy brittle , is a marriage made in heaven if you ask me. Two great tastes that taste great together: bacon and pretty much anything else. That got me thinking about other bacon food combos are people go hog wild about. For me maple syrup and bacon is a classic if a bit predictable. I do love a tall BLT with lots of mayo – nothing beats lovely bacon, cool tomatoes and crisp lettuce all coming together in thick slices of country bread. To date I haven’t tried bacon ice cream or bacon chocolate chip cookies but they are definitely on my list. How about you? What’s your bacon food combo? Please post them below.
