Bacon
How do you like your bacon?
For me, bacon is two completely different foods.
The first, lying on a plate, even if accompanied by say a full fried breakfast, is an insipid thing.
Put it between two pieces of bread, however, and it becomes a thing of glory, ambrosia if accompanied by a couple of pickled onions and ketchup (or even HP), glass of milk on the side.
And even better, 'medallions'! Using these, the whole slice of bacon doesn't come out of your sandwich when you take a bite. The ultimate gastronomic delight!

I like bacon fried about half done, not crisp or crunchy. Bacon and egg sandwich is one of my favorite foods.
This will really gross everyone out, but since we're on the subject of bacon - take fresh leaf lettuce, preferably straight from the garden, chop green onions into small pieces, and mix in a large bowl. Now, take hot bacon grease, either fresh or that has been saved from God only knows when, pour it over the lettuce/onions. You now have the southern delicacy known as "killed (or 'kilt') lettuce." Put a plate full of that on top of your head, and your tongue will smack your brains out.

Yep, yep, yep.
Doesn't sound all that much different from a wilted spinach salad.

This was my dad's favorite, we had it at least once a week and I hated it, hated it, hated it!dlbpharmd wrote:This will really gross everyone out, but since we're on the subject of bacon - take fresh leaf lettuce, preferably straight from the garden, chop green onions into small pieces, and mix in a large bowl.

Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody's mother.
