So all the bacon related thoughts in your brain will have no way out, hopefully leading to a highly amusing *head asplodes*

I annoy you? I have tried to be as nice as I can! I always welcome people's thoughts, and comments, and suggestions, and consider all friendly words as well as it is possible for me to do. I like people, but now you are making me feel as though you are a disgruntled neighbor, and I don't want a disgruntled neighbor. I want to make everyone happy, but I "annoy" you. That's mean.

Are other people on the discussion board that don't diversify their discussion topics are ostracized? I looked on some other topics and people usually seem to get mad only when another person talking on the topic becomes disrespectful, not because the person has posted multiple times on that topic!

That's tough to answer, because I've never seen any other member refuse to post in more than one thread.

Nothing at all. Making bacon, both literally and figuratively, is one of the funnest things you can do. But when it seems your only interest is bacon, you come off a little weird. Just so you know. You aren't annoying me, beyond keeping this thread afloat for days after it would've normally gone to sleep with the fishes. But people do things that annoy me more than that all the time.

More than anything, you're making me curious as to what drives a man who's compelled to talk about bacon and nothing else. Does he eat bacon at every meal? Ya just can't do that! Is his dog named 'Bacon'? Does he work for Hormel? Just some things I've been kicking around.

I talk about a lot more than bacon! And I don't eat bacon at every meal. I just like it a lot, is all. Oh, and I don't like any hormel products. I think the stuff they make is usually gross.

Squid, I might try your method if you would put it in a post that had paragraph breaks.

I read about a method of cooking salt pork where you par boil* the strips, then dip them in flour, and then panfry them. I haven't actually tried it. But it would be good knowing it violated every diet known to man.

*par boil = place in water in a cold pan and heat to boiling.

Er, isn't par-boiling when you lower something into water that's already boiling for just a few seconds, like tomatoes for fifteen seconds for removal of the skin?

That does sound like it'd be tasty, but horribly unhealthy!

Nope, that's blanching. Par-boiling is boiling until not fully cooked.

I have never cooked bacon for myself.

However, the delicious and crispy Canadian bacon at the Original Pancake House is one of my few non-vegetarian indulgences.

Do not sully the bacon thread with talk of Canadian bacon! Canadian bacon is inferior in every way, and does not deserve to call itself bacon of any kind!

Canadian Bacon can be good in its own way, but it is only tangentially related to the far superior regular bacon.

Hah! Canadian Bacon is merely thinly-sliced ham with "canadian bacon" printed on the package.

I think canadian bacon pizza is in order for lunch. Thanks for the idea!

(We had bacon with dinner last night. Breakfast for dinner is the best.)

Indeed. Every speck of bacon and mutton I eat is raw.
Why don't you like mutton? I've had mutton shwarma in Israel, and it's yummy. Mutton is to lamb as beef is to veal, is all.

Do you know that I've never known what par-boil means? It never occurred to me to look it up, either, because it wasn't that important, but I had no idea that it was like the frog thing

Thanks, pooka. Learn something new every day, I guess.

I'm sorry to report, that pooka has provided incorrect information on parboiling. Parboil, means to cook partially by boiling. Most commonly this is done by first bringing the water to a boil, and then briefly immersing the object to be cooked in the boiling water.

If you follow pooka's instructions, you won't have proper controll over the cooking time and so you are as likely to end up with something fully cooked as partially cooked.
