18th Annual August 20th is the 18th annual National Bacon Lover's Day! If there ever is a day to rival Christmas or the 4th of July is would be National Bacon Lover's Day! A day not to worry about eating too much bacon is this! Bacon is so versatile that you can eat it at every meal: Fry it with your eggs for breakfast. Have a BLT for lunch. Put it on a burger for dinner. Wrap asparagus or scallops with it for a snack In the United States, bacon refers to meat from the belly of the pig, known as the pork belly. Bacon from the loin is called Canadian bacon. To make bacon, the pork is cured using salt, and is then dried, boiled, or smoked. The smoking of bacon is often done with hickory, mesquite, or maple wood, and flavors such as brown sugar or maple may be added. More often than not, bacon is pan fried, and it is popular as a breakfast food, in sandwiches like the BLT or club sandwich, as a complement to salads, and in wrapping other foods. "Bacon mania" has swept the United States and Canada since the late 1990's, where there has been a great increase in the amount of bacon being eaten, and in the amount of new bacon recipes. National Bacon Lover's Day has been observed annually on August 20th since 2000. |

I LOVE bacon, and wish it could be a part of every meal. Due to the high fat content, I treasure it only on Saturdays and Sundays for breakfast with fried eggs and pancakes. When I make burgers, I will often fry up some bacon to add a delicious, crunchy topping. I wait for sales and then stock up.

Then there are bacon alternatives: turkey bacon is OK--weird flavor from enzyme particular to turkey.: beef bacon is pretty good almost as the real porky loin smoky bacon--rich salty flavor enhancing every morsel.

I like to make our BLT's using big Kaiser rolls so you may stack it high without the bread breaking down on the job. For us the bacon can't be over cooked more on the medium side just as the crisp starts to set in.
