Vegetarians and vegans - avert thy eyes!

[jackshoegazer]

Now, I'm just a modest fan of the bacon and a slightly larger fan of sausage, but I know there are some people on my flist (I'm especially looking at you, twilighttreader ) who loooove the tasty animals.  This, is your God:



It's called The Bacon Explosion.  It's a massive torpedo-shaped amalgamation of two pounds of bacon woven through and around two pounds of sausage and slathered in barbecue sauce.

The New York Times article about it is HERE.

The recipe is HERE.

Funnily enough, Dinosaur Comics is about meat-eating today.

Okay, Veggies, you can look again.  The horror is over.

P.S.  Wait - I think the next step is to shove it inside a turducken.

I....



I feel dirty!

I think several religions might have problems with this FOOD.

I'm salivating even as my circulatory system screams in protest.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I bet if while you're eating it, if you listen really hard, you can hear your arteries hardening.

AHHHHHH!!! *runs away to exfoliate with vegan salt scrub*

Also: that dinosaur comic is hysterical.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it could be made with veggie sausage and bacon!

[nearlymay.livejournal.com]

Heh, it's true. But that wouldn't taste as good.

[anubis75.livejournal.com]

That looks awesome! I think I might have to make one of those very soon.

The next step is to shove it inside a turducken.

My brother showed me the link to this. I was all NOT SURE IF WANT, but my brother is definitely DO WANT.

Now we know what Dan is bringing to movie night...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Something tells me he won't have time to make it before the movie starts :(

Did you see the background of the photo? They slice it up for sandwiches! I bet it would be great on a biscuit with egg and cheese :D

At a certain point, bacon tastes the same whether you eat it in a roll or in little strips.

[hellocthulhu.livejournal.com]

If I made something that glorious, what the hell makes you think I'd ever share it? =p

I disagree on stuffing it in a turducken though. While I like mixing fried chicken and beef, I don't think that pork and fowl would combine very well. What you do instead is stuff it inside a lamb, stuffed inside a pig, stuffed inside a cow.

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

Ah - I see, keep it within the hoofed mammals! There's a certain culinary logic to that.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

It's an ancient culinary rule - Gregarious animals go together for good eatin'. Unfortunately that means we can eat donkeys stuffed in horses.

I bet you could deep fry that if you lightly cooked the sausage first....

Hmm.. I bet you could beer batter and deep fry it if you cooked the sausage before rolling.

Oh yeah. I foresee my death in this delicious log of deliciousness.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking it needs to be shoved inside a turducken and THEN beerbatter and deep fry the whole thing.

[abmann.livejournal.com]

No space in the turducken You could build a bacon corset for a turducken easily though. However, the time it takes to cook the turducken fully would burn the bacon unless you did it in stages.

[hellocthulhu.livejournal.com]

I told you about the time I deep-fried a double-bacon cheeseburger, right?

[jesuslovesbono.livejournal.com]

i like meat, well, some meat anyways, but i generally stay away from bacon and sausage 'cus they're so fatty.
btw, it only makes sense that dinosaur comics would talk about meat-eating: i don't know about dromi-what's-her-face but probably utahraptor and definitely t. rex were carnivorous, but you probably knew that.
now i should actually read the comic...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, DC isn't really ever about meat-eating, for some reason. It should be at least two-thirds carnivorous!

[lady-fox.livejournal.com]

Wow.

I am a meat eater, but that? sounds absolutely disgusting.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I can't really contemplate taste at the moment. I am just in awe of the sheer idea of it and that it was invented by mere humans. Like the turducken, who thinks of these things?!

[lady-fox.livejournal.com]

Good questions, all.

[tori-vixen.livejournal.com]

I'm planing a Baconfest or "Baconpalooza" when the weather gets warmer. This may have to be the centerpiece.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Perfect!

A friend tonight suggested that it should have cheese in the middle.

[tori-vixen.livejournal.com]

That is a positively terrific idea!

[gislebertus.livejournal.com]

This is the result of millions of years of evolution: we pulled ourselves out of the primordial slime just to do this.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Well, be fair, we pulled ourselves out of the slime for this, napalm, and goats produce silk in their milk.

[zhyndra.livejournal.com]

It's all about the salt. It does look good, but I couldn't do that to myself!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Maybe if that was the only thing you ate all day, plus a lot of water. I bet it's like a colon cleanser :P

[art3m15.livejournal.com]

I found you through the el jay community selfportraits=p
umm, goodness that loooks absolutely deelish! I will never become a veggies-only person.. lol

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I tried to go veggie but didn't quite make it. I didn't eat cows or pigs for two years - that was as close as I got :P

It's like that joke - if God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them taste so good.
