Bacon Is The Meat Candy Of The World
While the rest of the world focuses on Katy Perry's quote in Harper's Bazaar calling Russell Brand, "A great man of God," I choose to focus on a different quote in the same article. While discussing how Russell is a vegetarian, Katy admits, "I unfortunately still crave chicken McNuggets and bacon, which is the meat candy of the world." It really is the meat candy of the world. It goes well with so many things. Thanks to all of you and your frequent links on Facebook, I think I have tried 50 different kinds of bacon combination. This week was the first time I tried bacon chocolate though. Scrumptious. Seriously, they work so well together. Despite being such a large guy, I don't really eat much chocolate, I am more of a donut and pie eating guy. But, the bacon chocolate was incredible and I have eaten about ten bars since that first one.
I do worry that it will affect my mind though because Katy Perry is obviously losing her mind if she thinks Russell Brand is a great man of God. Really? Well, I guess it did say in the Bible to go forth and multiply. Judging by the sheer volume of people Russell Brand has had sex with I guess he was just doing his part. Not much multiplying though. Hmm, maybe Katy should have married Lil' Wayne. That guy can multiply.
You are welcome for the bacon posts Enty!!! I always think of you when I see anything to do with the meat candy!!! LOL Hope you are having a great day!
ReplyDeleteROFL
ReplyDeleteBacon chocolate, hmmmmmmm I will take your word for it, lol
Hooray! I'm glad you've been trying the bacon stuff. I made chocolate chip cookies with the Vosges chocolate and bacon bar in lieu of chocolate chips. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteEven though Katy Perry likes bacon, she's still an idiot.
@Karmen - I must be pregnant again (dear lord! the thought!) cause bacon in chocolate chip cookies sounds great
ReplyDeleteMM - trust me, it's good. The hickory smoked flavor of the bacon really complements the sweetness of the chocolate. It's kinda like how chocolate and pretzels/ peanut butter/ caramel go together so well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I go to brunch buffets I always get caught by management sticking my bacon in the chocolate fountain. BUT IT'S SO GOOD. I always have someone else come up to me and go "Oh my God, that is amazing."
ReplyDeleteThere is a cupcake place where I live that makes "Sweet and Salty Chocolate Bacon- cupcakes". Pretty awesome, dark chocolate with chunks of bacon baked inside and topped with fluffy frosting and bacon candy crumbs. Another thing that is pretty amazing is something called "Bacon Salt" find it in the spice section of the g-store. It is amazing all the things you can add a touch of bacon flava to!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! My brain hurts thinking about the possible combinations ya'll are throwing out there....*sigh*
ReplyDeleteBacon and zombies: two stupid trends that I will NOT miss when they pass.
ReplyDeleteWhen did the fetishization of bacon start? Seriously. With as health conscious as people are (pretending to be), you think that bacon would be reviled and loathed...nope...bacon is the hip thing, along with zombies.
Me either, Nightmare Child. Granted, I'm a veg, but I'm SO sick of this hipster bacon fad.
ReplyDeleteI cook my bacon until it's just this side of burned. That kills the calories, right?
ReplyDeleteThere's a restaurant 'round these parts that makes a salty bacon toffee dipped in chocolate. It's good. Sadly, it's just a garnish.
ReplyDeletep.s. on the topic of fads, one time in a magazine I read that being pregnant was a "hot" fad. I almost threw up at that one.
Papa Murphy's in Denver is making bacon pizza.
ReplyDeletejust because he has had lots of sex doesnt mean he can't be religious.
ReplyDelete@RocketQueen - I'm a BIG TIME meat eater, but even I don't pop a raging hard-on at the mention of bacon. Hell, I eat it maybe once a month, tops. I just don't get how people can cuss me out for being a smoker...but then turn around and eat a pound of bacon in one sitting?
ReplyDeleteI have never tried chocolate and bacon together but now I would like too!
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why are these two people even relevant?????
@nightmare child
ReplyDeleteThat's when you badger them for being overweight and tell them to put down the cheeseburger. They don't care for that shit.
Zombies are awesome. Way cooler than vampires. I'm not super crazy about bacon (my dad raised me to eschew greasy food), but it's fabulous in moderation.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love? Blood oranges. Now that's a fad I can't get enough of.
I don't like bacon, but I once enjoyed bacon wrapped dates and they were delicious. I can also deal with bacon if there is blue cheese involved. Just bacon on its own is gross. To me. It's gross to me.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite quote from the interview:
"But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do."
Katy Perry. Annoying. Bland. Delusional.
me loves baconnaise long time.

@sue ellen - yeah, if they were busy havign sex fantasies about an all bacon lover, maybe. And I knew a gal who said that "pregnancy is the new sexy". My reply was: Yeah...because stretchmarks, mood swings, gas, severely swollen feet and vaginal tearing are sexy.
ReplyDeleteI probably would have paid to see the expression on her face to that one. A gem.
ReplyDeletePeople make dumb comments all the time and are genuinely shocked and upset when you call them on it, or sarcastically reply to it. Like, really? You're shocked? AND upset?!
enty, that one post is the reason why you are the best site ever. you are so so smart and funny. I saw the bacon chocolate bar recently, but it is about $8.00 a bar, a bit too much for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm never in "the loop" so I didn't know that bacon was a fad. I have always liked it, not loved it though. But this last pig that we bought we got processed at this place in WI which apparently has award winning bacon, and lemme tell you, that shit is like crack to me. It is so good, but I'm making it last, so I only cook some about once a month.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see anything bacon related I think of Enty & my in real life friend, a lawyer & equally obsessed with bacon.
ReplyDeleteMy husband made peanut butter, banana, bacon sliders at one of his tailgates recently. Sounds disgusting but it was a hit.
I'm with Enty. Bring on the dancing bacon!
ReplyDeleteI'll eat my bacon and chocolate separately, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Pig Candy? Lay out a pound of bacon on a broiler, cover it with brown sugar, and bake (or broil, I guess) until the sugar melts down on the bacon. I guess you're supposed to break it up and eat it, but it never lasts long enough to go to all that trouble.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Gnightgirl, that sounds like heaven.
ReplyDelete"awesome balla. said...
ReplyDelete"just because he has had lots of sex doesnt mean he can't be religious."
Agreed. Enty's righteous streak is admirable, but where is it written that a strong belief in God/Goddess/whatever and an active sex life are mutually exclusive?
Anyway, bacon. Yum. Bacon-topped, maple-frosting donuts are becoming more common around L.A.
I love bacon.
ReplyDeleteI do not love Katy Perry.
I didn't have to have no-account hipsters tell me how much bacon rocks--I knew that anyway, thankyouverymuch. :-) A really tasty recipe is the maple bacon walnut chocolate fudge at the AntiCraft site--I've made it a couple of times for Christmas and damn near brought people to their knees. You crumble the bacon up, so it's these salty, savory nuggets in the maple-flavored chocolate, ummmmmm.... Mind you, I don't eat vast amounts of bacon, and I certainly don't fetishize it, but damn, can it be good or what?
ReplyDelete@The Nightmare Child I have an almost 2-year-old and a newborn and had to laugh (and wince) at your comment about vaginal tearing. Instead of abstinence programs, maybe they should give teens a completely unvarnished account of what happens to the body before, during and after giving birth.
