My apologies... cooking isn't like pornography, but pictures like pizza hamburger bacon sandwiches could be said to be pornographic.

Oh, that I get.
But I am stumped as to where you made such a comparison?

I was responding to a CS Lewis quote that compared strip clubs to watching a presentation of a dinner dish. The aim was to say that watching such a presentation would be silly. I argued it was quite common, particularly among cooking afficionados to get inspiration or knowledge of how to cook and present a dish... something like that anyway :)

As the starter of this thread, I completely concur. Bacon IS food pornography!

This past weekend I went with a group that traveled and completed the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. This is a highly recommended activity. We did 7 distilleries in 2 days, 6 from the trail, + a bonus (Buffalo Trace). Great fun!

During that weekend, I had dinner at a restaurant in Bardstown, KY called The Old Talbott Tavern. I had the hot brown...

Oh yeah, it's garnished with bacon, baby. And it was a-w-e-s-o-m-e!

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I came across this via Jones Dairy Farm on Facebook:

Cooking Channel's Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

The appeal of the sweet and smoky flavor combination is becoming more and more tantalizing as the day goes on. I may just succumb and attempt these by Boxing Day...

If you want your arteries to clog faster than kiss a duck click here:

You'll gain 50lbs just by looking at it.

I was interested until the shrimp part.
I don't really want to taste shrimp as I eat ham, cheese, bacon and egg pizza.


Arghgh....i just threw up a little.

The best part is the comments. But when the shrimp were added I almost threw up. Those little ones are nasty. They look like they came from a can. Blech.

P.S. - I am severely disappointed there were no action shots.

Behold the Bacon Pig [link]
Cantwell crafted a pig entirely out of pork as a Thanksgiving appetizer. "Pork E. Pigskin," as he was dubbed, had hot links for legs, a sausage body, ham ears, Vienna sausage nose, a pork rind tail and a bacon wrap.

1) As far as I know, I am not related to this guy.

2) An appetizer for Thanksgiving? Really? Show of hands: who puts out an appetizer before Thanksgiving dinner?

Now Christmas, okay -- I'll put out a container of Wispride and some crackers, and y'all have at it. But for Thanksgiving, why would you want to fill up *before* the meal? :?

Well, 51% of the people who have voted on Bacon Pig voted "Yes! The meal isn't right without it and I love it."

Not right before dinner, but we like to have some fresh made cinamon buns and coffee while we watch parades, and then later we'll skip a real lunch and have crudités, cheese, grapes, etc. Then eat bird at about 3.
