Things that are better with bacon

[kenobi65]

If you haven't tried them, get yourself some kosher hot dogs, specifically either Best Kosher or Hebrew National. They HAVE to be 100% beef or they wouldn't be kosher. I refuse to eat any other kind of hot dog because kosher dogs make all other hot dogs taste like what they truly are (and we all know what's in a non-kosher hot dog ).

Mmmm-hmmm, I love both brands. When I go to White Sox games, I always pass up the "stock" hot dogs in favor of the Hebrew Nationals.

Speaking of what's in a non-kosher hot dog...

When I was an undergrad at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I took a market research class (actually, the first of several I took, as it wound up being what I got my Master's in). We had a guest speaker one day: the director of market research for Oscar Mayer, which was (and still is) located in Madison.

He spent an hour discussing with us all the types of research they do: concept testing, product testing, tracking studies...in other words, all the kinds of things that I've now been doing for my career.

At the end of his presentation, he asked, "Any questions?"

My friend Mark said, "Yeah...what do you put in the hot dogs?"

His answer (and this is exactly how he said it): "Oh...good stuff...stuff you'd eat...meat."

My wife works for ConAgra, which is the company that makes Hebrew National hot dogs. I can get a pack for $2.50 when they're normally almost $4 at Wal-Mart.

At the risk of sounding strange and vulgar, I would like to offer a suggestion that sex be followed up by bacon in lieu of a tobacco product. Don't knock until you try it.

-I'm not fat - really!

Sounds like you're not having enough sex, then.

Anyone else think it odd that neither QD nor The_Universe have been seen in a few hours?

They're at Red Lobster scaring the clientelle.

So a BLT without the L? Sounds dandy to me.

I never remember to buy lettuce, so yeah!

It sounds like you make a BDT: Bacon, DAMMIT I FORGOT THE LETTUCE AGAIN, and Tomato sandwich.

Funny you should bring this up. I'm a big fan of the bacon. No, I'm not fat (that's me to the left). But I do have a theory, the Universal Bacon Goodness theorem. It states, basically, that everything can be made better with bacon.

Allow me to indulge myself with a short anecdote:

Sometime last spring, my parents took my three youngest siblings away to Disneyland for a week and a half or so, leaving me and my next-eldest brother to fend for ourselves. As soon as they left, I had him go get the bacon (there was none in the house). He brought back three full packs. I decided we should test my theory. Over the next week (we ran out before they got back), we had bacon on:

-nachos (plain cheese and bacon)
-pizza (freezer pizzzas, added extra cheese and bacon)
-hot dogs (made whistle dogs.. mmm)
-quesadillas (cheese, bacon, some combination of peppers/onions/pineapple... don't recall exactly)
-sandwiches (made chicken clubhouses for the two of us plus a friend who was getting a ride to D&D)
-waffles (classic breakfast - our control group, as it were)
-eggs (see above)

I think there was more, but it's not coming to me now. We did some of those more than once, too. It got to the point where we weren't bothering to wash the pan, just scrape it out a few times a day. The theorem is confirmed so far.

Here's an experiment for all of you: Go find your nearest McDonalds. See that "make it bacon" on the menu? Costs about 50 cents or something? It doesn't say "burgers only" or anything stupid like that. Order a milkshake, fries, and a vegetarian salad, and say "make it bacon." Don't specify which item unless they ask (in which case, say "all of it"). See if you can break the poor register biscuit's brain, and see which items (if any) end up with bacon on them.

Crumbled bacon on/in oatmeal.
Bacon and tomato soup.

Strange but good: crumbled bacon on vanilla pudding.

Queen Dopplepopolis, you are a Goddess.

I just finished eating dinner. A yummy concoction of chicken breasts cut into strips that were wrapped with bacon and grilled, plopped in a hot dog bun, and topped with ranch dressing and diced tomatoes. The whole family is in agreement - these things are amazing! Even my daughters like them, and they are the pickiest eaters ever.

Thanks!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed my favorite bacon-tastic dinner!!

Is it wrong that I like to put fried Lebanon baloney and cheese on my Hebrew National hot dogs? And bacon? (You can substitute fried pepperoni for the baloney if you wish).
