Bacon Product of the Week: Bacon Vodka!

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

First we brought you the Bacontini. Now we teach you how to make it…or at least, make the main ingredient in it: Bacon Vodka!

Bacon Vodka

You’ll be surprised though, this isn’t actually very tough. The BrowniePointsBlog lays it out in 8 easy steps:

  1. Fry up three strips of bacon.
  2. Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar.
  3. Trim the ends of the bacon if they are too tall to fit in the jar (or you can just throw a bunch of fried up bacon scraps in the mason jar).
  4. Optional: Add crushed black peppercorns.
  5. Fill the remainder of the bacon/peppercorn mason jar with vodka.
  6. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right– don’t refrigerate it.
  7. After the three week resting period, place the bacon vodka in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter to yield a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka.
  8. Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.

Bacon Product of the Week: Kevin Bacon T-Shirt

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Be separated from Kevin Bacon by only one degree with this nifty t-shirt from NoStar Clothing:

Kevin Bacon T-Shirt

$24 is kind of pricey though. Alternative solution: Buy bacon, fry bacon, tape bacon to grey t-shirt. Remember to eat bacon before washing.

Bacon Product of the Week: Uncle Oinker’s Gummy Bacon

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

How can you say no to Uncle Oinker’s Gummy Bacon for only $4.95 per pack?

Uncle Oinker's Gummy Bacon

According to Archie McPhee, gummy bacon is “…so realistic you’ll want to fry some up and serve them with an egg and a side of hash browns. But please don’t,” they encourage. “Gummy Bacon should only be savored raw.”

Bacon Chocolate

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

No joke.

Bacon . . . and Chocolate.

Two great flavors that go together like . . . snakes and planes.

The Vosges Haut Chocolate Bacon Bar.

I recently tried it* - it has small bits of applewood smoked bacon and alderwood smoked salt in it. Imagine smokey and salty (and bacony) with chocolatey. It’s not bad, it’s just unexpected: meat and candy. Imagine eating bacon and then shoving chocolate in there.

Bacon Product of the Week: St. Anthony

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Saint Anthony is the patron saint of pigs and butchers, and from the math I learned in school, 1+1=BACON. For a paltry $4.95, you can get your very own, miniature St. Anthony to whom you can pray for bacon, about bacon, or for a bacon related miracle.

Ewww?!

Vodka, and bacon = the bacontini!

I think a better way might just be to use this bacon salt on the rim of a martini glass, then fill it with vodka! I’ll let you know how it goes…

I love this bacon scarf. It’s subtle and the packaging really makes it a great gift. For your fancy, foodie friends you could say it was a prosciutto scarf.
