Inspired by the bacon ice cream presented on last night's Top Chef, we're bumping this older post back to the top.
Deliciously demented maestro of molecular gastronomy Heston Blumenthal (chef & owner of the massively Michelin-starred UK restaurant The Fat Duck) shares his signature Bacon & Egg Ice Cream technique and recipe.
"When Brooks Reynolds was asked the question Des Moines always asks itself - "What does Des Moines need?" - this is what he said:
"A festival for bacon."
Thus, the High Life Lounge will hold its first Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival March 1, National Pig Day, attracting bacon lovers from California and Arizona along with a Pittsburgh bacon blogger."
*The video may be Canadian, but the bacon being processed doesn't seem to be Canadian-style bacon. Then again, we didn't ask to see that bacon's passport.
I don't know how this came into being. I'm simply grateful that this odd little anime-style AOL Bacon video chose to reveal itself to me in my lifetime.
We love that you're getting all resolute with your baconsumption in '08 and we're just gonna keep peeking in to make sure you're putting your money where your baconhole be.
"Resolution Three is where it's at. I want to bacon up some booze. My project for 2008 is to take popular cocktails and bacon them up with Bacon Salt."
"Resolutions suck! Challenges are where it's at, fool. The challenge for 2008: 365 pieces of bacon in 365 days. Actually 365 pieces of bacon in 366 days (leap year!) Challenge ourselves! Challenge each other! Challenge science!"
Gingerbread and icing are just a li'l too nice 'n sweet for some folks. These enterprising young gents built a house of meat with a bacon roof. Click below for a step-by-step trip through the building of the porky palace.
Our pals at Slashfood are reporting sizzling hot news about Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies found on the Never Bashful with Butter blog. We salute their intrepid pursuit of bacon-centric news, and at the same time curse them for making our tummies rumble.
Should you not have time to experiment with pork pastry, perhaps you could sample these Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies from Etsy seller "cafelebaron." Admittedly, we've yet to actually have the opportunity to sample them, but really, if we've learned nothing else this year, bacon + chocolate = love.
And here I was thinking that yesterday's Pork Song was going to be my '07 swan song for pig-related video content. I now present unnerve you with Tom Rubnitz's 1990 "Pickle Surprise."
I'll admit that I'm posting about this just so I have an excuse to say "yodelling pickle" as many times as possible, but really - doesn't your favorite food freak need one of these as a stocking-stuffer?
"BACON VERY IMPORTANT THAT BACON BE AVAILABLE AT EVERY MEAL AND DURING DAY"
Our pals at Spinner.com have served up the most diva-licious backstage demands of yesterday and today's touring stars. We find Metallica's bacon behest entirely reasonable and wish only that we possessed rock chops sufficient to allow us to issue these sorts of decrees.
