International Bacon Day

the pickel was good enough to post this in GD, and I thought it might be fun to try and come up with a creative dish or 2 or 3 in honor of this most magical of international celebrations

so, have any special bacon dishes you know? post them here

I'll post a few shortly I'm sure, just have to run to the butcher shop :sunny:

om nom nom!

mmmm BLTs so gooooood

and now is the season to make them, when you can grab some freshly picked heirloom tomatoes - oYA!

Showcasing bacon....

Carbonara
the overdone bacon wrapped scallops
then again, you can wrap pretty much anything in bacon and make it good

if you want a real treat, get some cornmeal crusted Canadian back bacon and make a sammich with that, a fried egg, and some cheese!

I'm going to make a crazy ass bacon sauce...I wonder how it will turn out lol
