Bacon - the thread
 
I'm not sure why there isn't already a bacon thread, but let me kick of with this groundbreaking product: the bacon flavoured slimming shake. :)

Why not just eat bacon? Or something with gravy on it? Or bacon with gravy on it?

The last time I checked, bacon is not a low-calorie slimming food. :unsure:

He's probably out looking for some of these to eat with the shake.

Not true, my fitness pal says 2 slices of center cut is 50 cals, that's 48 slices a day even on my 1200 cal diet, and atkins friendly LOL.

This is the worst beer I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, I had to rinse my tulip glass twice to get rid of the overwhelming maple barf flavor. I would not recommend this gem to an enemy. The carbonation was poor and as the temperature of the beer rose so did the awful aftertaste. I am sooo glad that this beer was retired. ....
I bought this tonight as a "what the hell why not" $12 mistake. This is the worst thing I have ever drank. You should buy it just to see how bad it is!! Should be called Rogue jock strap sweat sock poison ivy band aid ale. I feel victimized and violated had to crack open a Gandhi Bot quickly just to feel normal again. Why dear god why would they put this out there!! I don't know if I will ever get that taste and smell out of my brain , some things cannot be undone. Pray for me.
This has got to be, the absolute worst beer I ever tried. My boyfriend and I love Maple. love Doughnuts, love Bacon... we also have the wonder of owning/operating a barbecue restaurant. Unfortunately, the best taste comparison I can provide, is Liquid Smoke (which is also a horrible and nasty thing).

As someone familiar with BBQ, you always want the smokey flavor to be there, and be noticeable, but there is a fine line where something becomes too smokey. That was this beer, it was all smoke, I tried my hardest to pick out notes of anything else. But in the end, I committed beer abuse, this guy went down the sink, made me sad, especially since it was pricey.
Apparently it was as bad as it sounds. :lol:

That just sounds like a terrible idea. I love bacon, I love beer. They should be left well alone, IMO :D

Now, if you want to enjoy a beer while having a heaping plate of lovely bacon, that works quite well indeed.

I have drunk Bacon flavored beer (not the one in this thread) at a beer festival. It genuinely tasted of bacon. It was truly disgusting!!!!

Unless you add an English style garnish, a token slice of lettuce and slice of tomato which always made any meal healthy.

But then you are basically making it a BLT.

There should be no T in any sandwiches, it makes them soggy!

T is fine, if used with moderation. The L can sling its hook though, that doesn't belong anywhere near a sandwich :nod:

On the contrary, almost any sandwich is improved by the addition of "T". In fact T, and T alone, makes a fine sandwich, with fresh-baked bread, spread with salted butter.

Well, he's right. That's what its for.

Obviously, sometimes our foot eats corn as well, but that tastes good with stonking great dollops of butter. There really is no way in the universe to make lettuce inviting at all. None.

Underneath it all, it's still just bloody lettuce. It's a pointless food.

Cheese is much better when paired with meat :nod:

Ah not once you've gone home grown. Store bought mass produced T's are basically tasteless water balloons that explode and then themselves inside out when you cut into them.

My Ts are great in sandwiches but are even better with steak and chips.

Bacon, butter and bread. Now there's a winning combination.

Washed down with a cup of transport café strength tea. Milk only, no sugar (of course).

needs a dollop of Heinz Tomato Ketchup to be perfection.

Sausage butties need HP sauce.

I just weighed an orange ( there's not a lot to do on a Monday night in Houston..) and it was 15 oz.
Do you know how big a pile of lettuce you need to make 15 oz? A BIG pile, that's how big!

Good. Leaves are for feeding to prospective food, not for eating.
