Bet you are not a fan of meat unless it is seasoned.

A proper steak tastes GREAT with out seasoning or sauces.

Amen to that

They need to save that crap for the cheap cuts

In short, my position is America has food-issues because most people do not know their way around the seasoning isle of the grocery store.

Seasoning is EVERYTHING!

Since this is the "Bacon Appreciation" thread I just want to say ... Bacon doesn't need seasoning when it is cooked. Bacon is good the way it is. Throw it in the pan, cook it up and ENJOY!!!

Bacon. Wrapped in bacon. The way it was meant to be.


Yep, bacon wrapped in bacon.

One of these days I WILL wrap a turkey in bacon.

Killing threads since 2004.

Seasoning is meant to enhance the taste, not provide it.

The point I did not make very well, is that most people do not know how to use seasonings--herbs, spices, etc.--and if they did they might find veggies and healthier foods a lot more appealing and satisfying as opposed to craving bacon and bacon-wrapped-bacon.

That's the most ironic to me. People that choose not to eat meat for one reason or another yet still pretending to, in essence supporting meat...I have zero issue with what people choose to eat/not eat nor would tell them they can't or shouldn't but do personally find some peoples food choices ironic/hypocritical.

Me thinks you do not understand "irony" or "hypocritical".

Eating soy that tastes like bacon would only be ironic and hypocritical to a vegetarian if actual bacon were used to flavor the soy.



FWIW, the options I offered are not something we inlcude in our diet very often. We eat locally-farmed eggs and every now and then Bill likes to make a "sausage, egg & cheese" breakfast sandwich to satisfy a craving. We both grew up in very meat-loving, meat-topped meat, meat inside of meat, meat for breakfast, lunch & dinner families. Cravings happen--not so much for me anymore.

Why I find it ironic/hypocritical is that vegans/veggies claim they don't need meat but then eat fake meat to satisfy cravings. If they don't need it, why crave it or give into it? Fake meat also validates the importance of real meat too.

Some vegans/veggies also think because they don't eat certain foods that makes them better than others. They may even post about it in a bacon thread.

Just checking in to say that I love Bacon.

Oh, have you guys tried baking it? It works very well. Also, if you do pan fry it, do it with low heat and flip often. Long live good bacon!!

being a vegan, should've known what I got myself into coming here....my couriosity got the better of me

Here's one for you load of bacon heathens.

Get some good steaky bacon slices (I use my own cherry ood smoked )
some seedless dates,

Wrap the bacon round the dates, use a wooden tooth pick to stop the rasher from unwinding
heat some good olive oil in a pan and fry till just before the bacon is crispy.

The mix of the flavour of smoked steaky and the sweetness of the date is great.

I buy it about 5 lbs at a time and fry it until it is 1/2 cooked then freeze it. When I am ready for it I let it thaw in the fridge and finish cooking in the micro. Faster than frying every time, cheaper than the precooked stuff.

In Dubai (muslim) a bacon cheesburger from Burger king had 'beef' bacon and other places has turkey bacon.

They all tasted the same, similar texture.

If you use soy beans or lentils, and it still tastes the same,

who cares?

When you are munching it down with a beef pattie, lettuce, tomato, cheese and bread along with sauces...

right!

Did you know that if you say 'beer can', it sounds exactly like a West Indian saying 'bacon'?
