Homemade Bacon Mayo

When I first heard that the guys at Bacon Salt were turning their love of the smoky breakfast meat into a bacon-y spread (Baconnaise!), I wondered about the possibility of making homemade bacon mayonnaise. Sitting around with some friends, we speculated that if you were able to render off enough bacon fat, that it would be absolutely possible to use that in place of part of the oil in a batch of mayonnaise.

I never took the plan from theory into practice. However, Ryan Farr, of the blog Best By Farr has done what I could only postulate. He rendered out a couple of cups of fat from a batch of homemade bacon and, once it was strained and cool, whisked it together with two egg yolks, lemon juice, oil and water. From his pictures, it seems to have set up nicely and I can only imagine the amazing applications. I'm particularly interested in how it would taste as a dipping sauce for some homemade French fries.

A Bacon Salt Tattoo

Several months back, I had the unique pleasure of introducing Bacon Salt and Baconnaise to some vegetarian friends at a potluck. They were floored by the bacon-y flavor of the two products and couldn't stop raving about the fact that they could now satisfy their bacon cravings without resorting to the horror that is soy bacon. By the end of the evening, Kate was on my computer ordering her own jar of Baconnaise. I sent her home with an extra shaker of the the Original Bacon Salt, to tide her over until her own supply arrived. She has not been without Bacon Salt since. Yes, it's just that good.

One Virginia couple has apparently taken their love of Bacon Salt to a new level, by getting matching tattoos announcing their devotion. I say apparently, because I don't have any links to back this up, the picture and story were sent to me by the folks at Bacon Salt (so this could turn out to be a publicity campaign).

However, having experienced Bacon Salt and Baconnaise frenzy firsthand, there remains a (hopeful) part of me that imagines that this ink just could be authentic.

Peppered Bacon Salt and Tomato Linguine - Midweek Meals

Peppered Bacon Salt meets pasta and sausage in this quick midweek meals recipe.

When life hands you Bacon Salt, make pasta. Our wonderful friends over at Bacon Salt sent us samples of several products, including Peppered Bacon Salt. Reading through their blog Tuesday afternoon, I stumbled upon this recipe and thought to myself, "bacon salt and pasta for dinner. Yeah, I could deal with that."

I found myself along with my sidekick engulfed in delicious aromas the minute the Peppered Bacon Salt hit the warm olive oil. Poured over fresh linguine, this dish satisfied my craving for bacon, without even having to cook up any (although I'm sure the dish would be fantastic with crumbled bits in it). Even better, this dish was on my dining room table in under 25 minutes.

Check out the Bacon Salt Blog for more inspiring, bacon-licious recipes (the Baconnaise Burger Sauce is on my list next).

A celebration of bacon

Bacon candy is one of the most popular recipes at aol.com, which is as good a reason as any to salute bacon. While you're candying your bacon, order up some bacon salt with which to anoint summer's last grilled veggies, french fries, chops or steak.

For your breakfast fix, try Smithfield's maple-smoked bacon (locate your local grocer here) or Oscar's Adirondack slab bacon -- and, if you're ready to commit to a serious relationship, sign up for the Bacon of the Month club. If you're adventurous, you can learn about curing your own bacon here. Wherever it came from, to cook your bacon you will need a good cast iron frying pan, such as these beauties from Le Creuset and Lodge. Both work well with a bacon press.

A bacon keeper is an inexpensive and indispensable feature for the frosty landscape inside your refrigerator. Now you than you're set to preserve and prepare your bacon, start cooking with it. Cobb Salad isn't Cobb Salad without bacon; here's a great recipe for this American classic. Once you've mastered your Cobb, explore additional recipes at The Bacon Show -- but be warned: after you sample your homemade bacon-infused vodka, you will probably need one of these.

While bacon is nourishing your interior, insulate your exterior with a bacon scarf. Outfit your breakfront, office cubby, or any other environment you choose (bacon-themed bathroom, anyone?) with a selection of novelties from the bacon collection at Archie McPhee. Finally, if you're wondering wherefore this depth of scholarship concerning bacon, consider this: aside from being namesake for one of art's masters, bacon inspired the art of no less a master than Salvador Dali.

It's Pork Week at Salon.com

When I was growing up, pork was something of an unknown element. My mom is Jewish, and while she's never been much of an observant Jew, she stays clear of pork. As she was the primary cook in our house, nary a chop or rasher of bacon crossed our plates. I vividly remember eating ham for the first time, when I was 11 years old, on Christmas Eve at my grandmother's house.

These days, I say bring on the pork. I regularly order locally cured bacon, pork sausage with fennel and braise-able Boston Butts from my meat buying club. This week, Salon.com is also embracing the pig, declaring July 7-11 to be Pork Week. Currently, they've got content up dedicated to curing your own bacon as well as a piece that strives to chronicle this country's love of anything bacon-themed (Bacon Salt, anyone?). They've got a video up of a visit to Veritas Farms in New Paltz, NY, where they interact with some very happy pigs. Stay tuned, as I'm sure they'll have many more porcine treats for us before the week is out.
