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.

Hey Bacon Bloggers!


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."

OMG!!! PONIES!!! Bacon Cocktail Resolution


"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!"

The Bacon Challenge

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.


(We'd actually anticipated someone would try this: Our Top 11 Bacon Fantasies)


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.

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?


It's a bargain at $12.95 from Archie Mc Phee.


And to top off their melodious, bio-mechanized food experience, toss in a pair of Remote Knockwurst Controlled, Hopping, Yodelling Lederhosen.


Lest we forget, you really ought to peruse the vast selection of bacon-alia while you're there as well.


A very merry Yodellhosen to you!

"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.

Ham Dust. We just can't stop saying it. Ham Dust. Even more appealing -- "Johnny Snack's Miracle Ham Dust". Chef John Currence, co-owner of City Grocery in Oxford Mississippi, is a bona-fide master of the porcicuisinal arts, and he done made himself some goshdarned ham dust.

Sure, some may say, "Why do I want/need ham dust?" or "Yuck!" Banish these nay-sayers* and non-forward thinkers from your life, and devote yourself to following the one true Ham Path.

There is really only one thing that's important to ask yourself when you're about put something in your mouth: Does it taste like bacon? If yes, then go ahead and put it in your mouth. If no, then liberally douse it in Bacon Salt and only THEN should you put it in your mouth.
