Time to Stir Up Some Crap - I Don't Like Bacon

[Gunny]

I'm aware this offends a religion, but I don't get it. One of the most if not the most over-hyped, over-priced nutritionally worthless cuts of meat there is. Yet people like my daughter's BF who stinks up the house with the crap every morning it's like crack. To add insult to injury, the lazy f*ck doesn't clean up behind himself -- a pet peeve of mine on a pedestal all its own:mad:

Lord knows what it cost these days, but you shell out $5-10 for a slab of of pig fat with little slivers of alleged meat, then spend 20 minutes cooking it in it's own 10w-40 weight oil that messes up my stomach for half the day, THEN get to clean grease off if everything and the house reeks for half the day.

That is all :halo9:

I'm with ya. Can't say I don't like it but it's definitely overrated in my book. It's an ingredient, not a main course.

And we could use a good knock-down, drag-out, pick-a-side argument around here.

Yep, while I will have a side of bacon occasionally when eating out, not a regular thing. I usually have some cooked and frozen in freezer, to add to certain recipes-it enhances, not the main ingredient.

Gimme my sausage patties.

There you go, I find sausage just awful, thus the side of bacon when out. While I don't mind ham, I find it too dry as breakfast meat.

Agree re the ham. Wife is a huge go out for breakfast fan. Bacon is rarely done right in restaurants for my taste so I go with sausage.

[jimnyc]

I could eat me a few hundred pieces of good bacon with my breakfast! Too much work and cleanup though so I rarely get to enjoy. :( And scrambled eggs, can eat a few hundred of them too! I wanted to buy some chickens but the wifey shot that down REAL fast! :laugh:

[hjmick]

More for me...

[Bilgerat]

More for me...

Agreed :laugh:

At least bacon isn't "engineered" food. Sausage is nothing more than ground up bits of fat & gristle that wasn't able to progress down the meat cutting table on it's own. The ONLY way it becomes "flavored" is by adding spices (probably to hide the taste of the grindings that have gone "off")

However, not cleaning up after yourself is a vile offense and I vote that he be placed in a barrel with his slime for a day or so.

Now here's an interesting thing. I'm originally from Maine and I DESPISE lobster (my pet name for it is bottom feeding ocean going cockroach)

[Black Diamond]

Yeah I don't wanna know how the sausage is made lol

[Mr. P]

Don't hate on bacon because your daughter's BF stinks! :laugh:

[SassyLady]

I like bacon.

[OAK]

Ham, bacon, pork chops, sausage, BBQ pulled pork, etc.....pigs are magical animals.

Even given it the old college try because pork roast and ham are fairly inexpensive, especially compared to the price of beef these days.

I am not a hater (much anyway :)). More for y'all works for me. Especially if I'm snagging your ribeye while you're watching your bacon fry :)

On the other hand, if you can't be considerate enough to clean up your own swill, I can get to hater mode REAL quick. I consider it a test of will how long I can remain silent with this slob in the house :)

Populism is like bacon. It's sounds good like who just wouldn't like to eat bacon all day right? The salty... The fat... The chewy... mmm... sounds delicious... And it is... At first. Until you realize that's just too much of what seems like a good thing. Bacon needs to go with something for it to truly shine.

Conservatism is like eggs...

Conservatism is sold by Republicans in campaigns as Eggs
but when it hits the plate it's really...

so people tend to load up more bacon.

I think I need to correct your analogy. Conservatism is sold by today's Republicans as eggs. But when it hits the plate it's really...

I don't think anyone honestly believes Trump is or ever was a "conservative".

But funny thing is his campaign promises were generally speaking more conservative than not.
more conservative than most of is republican opponents who primarily promised more Egg but have always given unsweetened applesauce & such.
the exceptions being people like Ben Carson and Rand Paul but they werent POPULAR enough.
Many republicans who CLAIM they want small constitutionalist go'vt like yourself(?) and others didn't think they were "electable" and now complain about Trump.

But also i think maybe you & many others have a hard time separating POLICIES from PERSONS.
It's an observation I've had since high school about the majority of people's voting habits.
The "I LIKE HIM" or "I HATE HIM" factor outweighs a candidate's voting records, accomplishments, ideology and personal ethics.
The "I feel like I can have a beer with him!" or "I FEEL like he'd be a good leader." factor.

IMO It's really why Bill Clinton won, it's why Obama won... and it's why Trump won.
It wasn't so much their various or similar policies, ideologies or lack thereof, it was their presented personalities.
If you want try to convince me that that kind of thing, popularity is what's at work with Trump then i'd agree.
But scary "populism" pfffft! If today Trump said he'd seen the light, & started promoting true small gov't conservatism i suspect he'd STILL be as popular with most or MORESO.
I also suspect you still probably wouldn't like him & wouldn't vote for him.

I voted for the buffoon the second time. He is not deserving of my vote another time. I'm not saying that anybody goes out and says I'm going to vote for the populist guy. I'm saying he's a populist and not a conservative. Any conservative position or policy that came through he probably stumbled into it; conservative is not his go-to IMO.

I totally agree. He is not deserving of my vote. I'm still on fence, but tending towards voting for his policies and against the nonsense, very dangerous nonsense the left has been tossing left and right.

Yeah, he's not deserving but he might get it. Stalin v Hitler. Without all the governmental killing this time.

I'm pretty sure that whomever is truly running this out-of-control train wreck, would turn to killing if they had a tiny hope they could get away with it. Lawfare is the beginning of such, imo.

I love bacon! I eat it like a snack ... like potato chips or raw veggies. I cook a whole pound at a time and keep it in frig for when I need that one thing that can satiate the weird cravings.

It's good as a stand alone and also good wrapped around a steak or jalapeno poppers.

Can be conservative and/or populism.

[fj1200]

I vehemently disagree. :martian: One cannot live on bacon alone. ;)
