My daughter is a meat-lover through and through, and her favorite is bacon. I don’t understand it myself. While I find bacon too salty and greasy, she would eat it every day. Sadly, in her opinion, I only buy it once in a great while, partly because I just don’t think it’s that healthy and partly because I may the grocery list, so usually it consists of mostly things I like.
Bacon is one of the first foods she learned to cook herself – the microwave makes it easy. And it’s not just for breakfast. She also asks for those little round steaks wrapped in bacon, one of my least favorite meals. When we went to Packs and Dogs a while ago, she ordered a hot dog covered with bacon and devoured it. Potato soup apparently needs crumbled bacon on top, as do potato skins.
For the record, though don’t buy bacon-flavored microwave popcorn. Thanks to my brother she got three packs at Christmas. Now she munched it down, thought it was the best popcorn ever. My complaint – it stinks. It smells like something’s burning – not an unfamiliar smell in our house, but usually it’s because I actually am burning something. This is just nasty.
So, bacon, love it? Hate it?
I love bacon. All of those things that your daughter likes about bacon I like too.

Tossing It Out
I’m a fan and have actually gone so far as to try bacon chocolate (bizarre and rather good, but not my favorite chocolate).
I will say though that in my house it’s usually turkey bacon – it has a lot less fat and calories and really does taste as good as the “real” stuff.
I agree, but my husband and daughter still prefer the real stuff.
I love bacon but it is not the same in Italy, so it is an occasional treat these days.
LOVE. I use it on salads, in sandwiches, sprinkled atop soups, even on cupcakes every once in a while. But I am obsessed with the sweet and salty combo, and I know it’s not for everyone.
And… I have to disagree about the similarity of turkey bacon. Different consistency and different taste.
Yeah, Amber and David would agree with you about it not being the same. Cupcakes, now that’s an interesting idea.
My whole family loves it.
Eh, I can eat it sometimes, not a big fab though, though it does taste good once in a while
LOVE it. One of my very favorite applications of the magic that is bacon is on peanut butter sandwiches. Oh yes indeed.
You reminded me of the one place I really like bacon – on a grilled cheese sandwich made with cheddar, apple slices and baon.
What doesn’t taste better with bacon? I’ve even tried bacon with ice cream and I loved it.
Oh, gross. I’ll have to tell Amber though, she may love it. On the other hand, she’s supposed to take an ice cream topping to an event Sunday, and I can just picture her taking a tupperware container full of crumbled bacon.
I love bacon. Bacon flavored popcorn doesn’t sound all that great though.
I love bacon but bacon flavored popcorn? No thank you 🙂
I love bacon! It is sad though because I don’t eat it anymore because of the salt…
Just when I thought popcorn could not get any worse!!
Popcorn= EWWW!! Bacon = YUCK!
I can’t even imagine how gross bacon flavoured popcorn would be!
I’m afraid I’m one of those who find bacon to be a treat!
How can you not love bacon. I’d eat it everyday too but I know its not healthy so I only have a couple strips once in a while.
Love bacon but normally just with eggs preferably scrambled!
I’m a fan, but usually buy turkey bacon for health reasons.
First off, I like that you did a post about bacon 🙂
I do enjoy eating bacon once in a while, my kids love it. I usually fry it up on Saturday mornings for them. I was watching the Food Network and they featured a Southern restaurant that had bacon bits sprinkled on glazed donuts!
Donuts? I am amazed at people’s creativity with bacon.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I think bacon is meat candy. I even got a tee for a friend that says on the front bacon is meat candy. I think it’s awesome I hope they do as well.
There’s a bar in downtown Dallas that serves bacon sundaes I soo want one. It’s vanilla ice cream, maple syrup and bacon mmmmm yummy.
I love bacon too…but rarely buy it because I know I will make a giant bacon sandwich and eat it all! lol
