All hail bacon, indeed ...

I don't think I could live without it. In fact I think I'll make spaghetti carbonara for dinner. Mmmmm.

(Yeah, I'm from the Midwest ... )

*sigh* I would have to be one of those who breaks away and joins the ranks of the soft Bacon lovers. Can't all of us Bacon lover's just get along? Afterall, there really is only one Bacon regardless of how you enjoy it!

Actually, hate to break it to you, but not eating bacon isn't in the 10 commandments. It's in other sections of the bible, where it says what animals can and can't be eaten by Hebrews.

As a young radical, I tried Bacon, and quite frankly I never really enjoyed it, even with the "forbidden fruit" aspect. I mean, it was greasy and fatty and... just not so great. I will admit that it smells terrific. I guess it's like Coffee (I like the smell, not the taste).

I suppose that now I've said enough to get a bunch of hooded members of the church of bacon to light a pig on fire in front of my apartment or something...

Your hypothetical situations always remind me of my table mates 'n' I in art class, where we'd throw in endless thought-provoking 'n' random topics. We'd all be workin' on our art work 'n' someone (usually me) would ask somethin' like, "If you were able to poop out edible food, would you eat it?" What's special about this table of friends is that they wouldn't go, "Eww!" but rather get into an in-depth debate about edible excrements.

I'm sure you'd fit right in.

Ahh. First Commandment is about not worshipping other gods.

Yes, hubbie knows #1 also, but didn't catch that you were referring to other gods, not Bacon per se (I got it though).

I've also got to represent for the vegetarians (not to mention the Jewish vegetarians) -- I didn't become one so that I could eat fake meat! And I never "experimented" with bacon, so I don't know what I'm missing. (What can I say, food rules just aren't ones I've itched to transgress.) Am I getting to earnest? Hate when that happens.

On another note -- mazel tov on the DP! :-D

You are very silly but you are right about bacon. :)

Ah Yes, Bacon, and ever so crispy! Hail the bacon Church!

Soft, greasy bacon? Ugh.
Crispy, Sahara-dry bacon? Ugh.

The answer is in-between - perfectly cooked chewy bacon.

Anyone who says differently is a heathen.

I'm a lacto/ovo/bacon-o vegetarian.

So sorry, I am one of those apostates who worship the goddess, Potato Chip. She is the one and true saviour.

As a vegetarian, I would love to be able to disagree with any or all of this. Alas, I cannot. Bacon grilled-cheese sammiches, even though I have to settle for smelling them, occupy the same sky-high pedestal as pizza in my world. Sigh.

I like makin' the bacon. Does that count?

I'd be a minister in that church.

Foxy is right. Dry, crumbly bacon devoid of bacon juice is an abomination. And it can only be made from the glorious pig, none of that turkey bullshit.

I will happily join this church and would work as an apostle of it.

I like my bacon chewy. Chewier the betterier. It's greasetastic!

I lost my love for bacon after I had my gall bladder removed. It's just too hard to digest now. :-(

Those of us who follow the way of the vegetable will surely triumph, as Baconites will be rendered sluggish and large by their ingestion of so many saturated fats, thus easy to bring down.

(And in any case, I always thought bacon was nasty. The only thing that could possibly tempt me would be lobster, and luckily that's way, way expensive.)

Too late, the bacon church is already up and running. Every Sunday morning, my HB and I religiously hold a private service, cooking up a whole package of thick sliced, cob smoked bacon lightly garnished with eggs and biscuits.

NYC readers and tourists are all welcome to join us in worship. In fact, come over Saturday night so you don't risk being late....

No reason you can't belong to two churches. I like crispy and greasy equally.
