‘Whilst dismissing the nation’s bacon zeal as a mere ‘fad,’ please remember, the Beatles too were a ‘fad.’  But their essence, versatility and joy will outlive us all.  Though Beatlemania has receded, new generations of music-lovers still continue to discover their genius.  So too will new generations of food-lovers continue to discover and to relish the endless flavorful wonders inherent in the very essence of Bacon.  During these days of Baconmania, do not let cynicism mute love.  Bacon IS Love.  And Love, in all forms of expression, should be encouraged to flourish.’  (As Andre Vonbaconvitch tells us in Baconfest, Chicago)

Bacon is versatile, not only is it perfect next to my two over easy eggs and two slices of toasts. It’s perfect in my split-pea soup. Sprinkled all over my salad. Above my hamburger meat. In my clam chowder. My corn chowder. Any chowder for that matter. It’s even divine in my sushi rolls.

Oh just to be near bacon! I’d be L or T at the drop of a dime. I love bacon for what bacon is. Despite all the fancy things that dress it up; mayo, eggs, lettuce, tomato, etc…and despite the fact that many believe it to be merely a fad
