| Bacon,bacon, bacon.... that commercial for dog treats almost makes me come runnin'. Well, next Sunday is a baconalia - basically a food and wine festival where all the items contain bac0n—everything from bacon hash to bacon taffy. There is a current craze for things 'bacon': soda, gum, ice cream and chocolate. I've heard that bacon chocolate actually makes a great fondue for dipping pretzels. I'll try that but draw the line at bacon soap! BAKON vodka was used in a Bloody Mary that I had recently - no discernible difference. If you'd care to try it, you might consider making your own bacon vodka. This recipe was on Steve & Chris' show: Cook 1 lb. bacon; add 26 oz. vodka to fat. Let sit 4-5 hours, then freeze. Remove fat, strain through cheesecloth, use in a Bloody Mary: In a celery salt rimmed glass, pour 1 oz. bacon vodka, 1-2 dashes Tabasco, 5-6 dashes Worcestershire sauce, lime wedge and tomato juice to fill. Garnish with a bacon slice. Bottoms up! |
