    For you Bacon devotees, a possible uniform for the next Beers, an antidote to the typical Hen and Stag party apparel!

    My love for bacon has been tested over the years....a can attacked me from a high shelf once and left blood. I used a lot of questionably sourced words and my young child was apparently within earshot of the incident and laughed uproariously. Me? Not so much.

    Otherwise, bacon is a good thing. The scientific basis is that the pig has been genetically modified in order to produce meat that can safely contain an unreasonable amount of salt and curatives as well as support a high fat content. It's a heart attack on the hoof...

    OK, there's this bacon from a European country that I forgot the name of that comes in a can. You have to rinse it off and then fry it as it is packed in grease/fat... aka: "the fifth food group". It is a 1lb can and from a height of about 2.5 meters....it's painful.

    I seem to be attacked by supposedly inanimate objects...that sounds much more exciting than "I jumped up to swipe at the can to get it down and it certainly came down in an unexpected way at a surprising velocity with a disappointing stopping point"....see what I mean?

    Possibly the finest website I have seen all weekend. A site devoted to Bacon.

    http://www.theparliament.com/press-review-article/newsarticle/eu-to-introduce-tastier-bacon-rules/
    The Telegraph reports that meat producers could be forced to cut the amount of water they add to bacon products.

    Under new EU rules that could be introduced within four years, bacon rashers containing more that five per cent of water would have to be renamed as "bacon with added water".

    Currently producers are allowed to sell bacon with up to 10 per cent water, before they need to declare the product as having added water.

    The Daily Mail reports that supermarkets and producers warned that any new labelling plans and changes to water content would confuse customers and dramatically alter the price and taste of bacon.

    A spokesman from the British Retail Consortium is quoted as saying that water is added to attain the correct "succulence, taste and texture".

    However, real food campaigner Keith Dalmey told the paper that his campaign group, Sustain, defended the move by EU policymakers saying, "Most consumers would be shocked at how much water is added."

    "It's tempting for the food industry to do it because it is free and because they sell meat by weight. It is important that consumers know how much water is added so they can judge value for money."

    You can't just post that and leave us hanging. Go find it!!!!

    Cook three to four slices of bacon, enough to render at least 1 – 3 ounces of fat. Once the bacon has cooled a bit, pour off the fat from the pan. Pour 750 ml of bourbon into a non-porous container. Strain the 1 – 3 ounces of bacon fat into the container and infuse for four to six hours at room temperature. Place mixture in freezer until all the fat is solidified. With a slotted spoon, remove fat and strain mixture back into bottle. Pass bourbon through a coffee filter to remove sediment if desired.

    This works best with streaky US bacon
