Now this is what I call a Camp!


Camp Bacon is a long weekend of bacon events at Zingerman’s
in Ann Arbor, MI on June 17-20, 2010.

We’re bringing some of the biggest names in bacon to Ann Arbor to dive into our favorite subject. We’re calling it the “Davos of Bacon.” Camp Bacon kicks off with R&B legend Andre Williams (tickets, $15) in concert at Zingerman’s Roadhouse on Friday June 18 followed by the Main Event, Saturday June 19, a full-day, full-flavored exploration of the bacon’s past, present and future. Highlights of the Main Event include:

  • Bacon tasting with Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig
  • Hands-on pancetta-making class with Herb Eckhouse
    from La Quercia in Iowa
  • Bacon cooking demo with James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and chef Molly Stevens
  • My life as a Bacon curer with Allan Benton from East Tennessee
    and Nick Spencer from Chicago
  • A Reading from Sarah Katherine Lewis, author of Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things that are Very, Very Bad for Me
  • How Bacon Changed My Life: Presentati0ns from curers and bacon professionals around the country
  • Plus breakfast and lunch from Zingerman’s, a free copy of Ari’s Zingerman’s Guide to Better Bacon, a free t-shirt and more!

Bacon of the Month Club


When I first saw this I thought it was a great idea. Then I saw the price. $315.00 for 12 months. I don't care if it is artisan bacon, that's just crazy pricey. Well it does come with a free bacon T shirt and a pig nose....maybe it is worth it.

Bacon Of The Month Club

Its a maple double bacon kinda morning.

Q: What could be better then maple bacon flavored coffee? A: Maple and double bacon flavored coffee. Found this maple Bacon flavored coffee but then my friend Chris sent me this link to Bacon syrup. Now if I only liked coffee. Well if I had the chance this one I would try.


Details

Reminiscent of a hearty Saturday morning breakfast around the table, this sweet, savory coffee delights the senses with the smell and taste of home! Maple Bacon Morning has a base that's full-bodied and complex, and it's a delicious way to rise when the rooster crows!

It's just not Christmas without bacon on the tree



Bacon Ornament

Some people are happy trimming their Christmas trees with colored balls and tinsel but I'll go for bacon anytime. This Ceramic Bacon Ornament is the perfect holiday gift for every bacon lover. And when you take down the tree, you can hang it in your kitchen all year round!

Bacon Cups







This looks very tasty to me. Salad served in a bacon cup or bowl. Why is this not done in restaurants?

Bacon Jam


An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella

  • 500grams/1 pound smoked bacon (or use regular bacon and liquid smoke)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 medium brown onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Tabasco sauce (according to taste)
  • 1 cup coffee
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Black pepper to taste
  • extra water

1. In a non stick pan, fry the bacon in batches until lightly browned and beginning to crisp. Using a pair of scissors cut into 1 inch pieces.

2. Fry the onion and garlic in the rendered bacon fat on medium heat until translucent.

3. Transfer the bacon, onion and garlic into a heavy based cast iron pot and add the rest of the ingredients except for the water. Simmer for 2 hours adding 1/4 of a cup of water every 25-30 minutes or so and stirring.

4. When ready, cool for about 15-20 minutes and then place in a food processor. Pulse for 2-3 seconds so that you leave some texture to the “jam” or of course you could keep whizzing and make it a smoother and more paste like.

"Star Wars" and bacon have finally joined forces


The Bacon AT-AT stands 3 ft tall and is made with over 40 lbs of bacon. The body was made from foam, then the bacon was attached. This beast took 21 non-stop hours to build. If you've ever once thought to cook 40 lbs of bacon in your kitchen in one sitting, I can now personally advise against it.

Bacon Air Freshener




You use pretty-smelling deoderant for your armpits, but wouldn't it make more sense to use something that smells like something better than flowers and old spice? Something like bacon. Bacony underarms would be sweet.

Think of this air freshener as underarm deoderant for the air in your car.

Four inches tall with a string to hang it.

The best part is that it is sold out. Q: How many bacon nuts are out there buying this A: Oviously there are alot.
SOLD OUT UNTIL JANUARY. ORDERS FOR THIS PRODUCT WILL BE HELD UNTIL READY TO SHIP COMPLETE!

Bacon Beer....It just keeps getting better



I just wish I would have thought this one up.

Brooklyn Brewery is doing one as well.
Quote from Brooklyn Brewery is “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth.”
