I do my best to offer up posts with good recipes, tasty links and interesting food-related news events. I really try not to turn Slashfood into a culinary News of the Weird. However sometimes, the insane excesses that people out there dream up are just too nutty to ignore. The crazy wedding cake doppelganger I posted about earlier in the week fell into that category. And so does this--a burger made out of ground bacon, filled with mozzarella cheese, coated in beer batter and then put in a deep fryer until crispy and cooked through.
A heart-stopper for sure, although I must admit that I'm sort of curious to know how it tasted. Sadly, I don't have the grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer, so I fear I will never find out (I don't actually think I could bear introducing my body to this much saturated fat all at once, but darn if I'm not intrigued).

We make our _ham_burgers out of ground pork - because that's what we raise - pigs. Ground pork is the original _ham_burger as the name would suggest. Properly raised pastured pork is a high in Omega-3 fatty acids, the ones that are good for your heart, and low in fat. Delicious too.
