Bacon, glorious bacon, that fat-filled treat hewn from the side of a pig, is the new Internet darling.
Bacon’s recent flight to the top of Google’s hot trends comes on the wings of a recipe for “Bacon Explosion,” an edible log of 2 pounds of sausage encased in a 2-pound “bacon weave” created by blogging barbeque enthusiasts in Kansas City (www.bbqaddicts.com).
A story published Tuesday in the New York Times featuring “Bacon Explosion” remained the most-emailed story on the Web site Friday morning, beating out stories on the economy, Super Bowl or the new president.
“Bacon is like the candy of the meats that the pig offers,” said Pamela Johnson of the Iowa-based National Pork Board, where they are happy as a pig in mud about all the attention paid to the humble meat.
I'm convinced that you can wrap a pound of arugula with bacon and it would taste good. Think about it. Even the best cut of beef, filet mignon, tastes better with bacon wrapped around it.
As Homer Simpson would say "ooooohhhhh, bacon..... is there anything it doesn't make taste good?"
