Remember the canned cheeseburgers? Now you can make yours even more yummylicious with canned 100% US bacon, cooked and ready to eat. Actually, forget the burger: make your own bacon sandwich using two additional layers of bacon instead of bread. Each can contains all the vitamins and minerals you need to keep a healthy life while pretending to work in front of the computer, and you can even use the remaining fat to polish iPhones and assorted gadgets.

Each can comes with 40 to 50 slices of lipids and protein, produced using three pounds of raw bacon plus:

• water
• salt
• sugar
• smoke flavoring
• sodium phosphates
• sodium erythorbate
• sodium nitrite

That's all the stuff any human flesh-eating zombie needs. $110 will buy you a full package of 12 cans of tasty cholesterol, heart bypasses not included.

"...Breaded deep-fried bacon."

It's tasty but you have to use real butter to fry it in.

That pre-cooked stuff at the store really is pretty good and not more costly. I guess the save on the packing and shipping costs (shipping is by WEIGHT and most of the weight is the fat that you cook off anyway)

There was a restaurant in KC that's been out of business for a long time, but they had a sandwich on their menu called "The Heart Attack Special." It was a BLT, and they used a full pound (uncooked weight) of bacon on each sandwich!

I used this in my potato salad. Am I going to die?

The restaurant in this video is about 1.5 hours from my home. Hubby and I haven’t been yet, but several people have told me it is a great little hole in the wall place to eat.

Since when is it a sin to drink alcohol?

Or tea, or coffee?

Personally I prefer to fry it in fresh rendered lard.

I find it hard believe that any food from Thailand would be bad.

They can even make tofu taste good!

[Abathar]

Goose fat is also very tasty if you need a little flavor enhancer too...

Yow. My pancreas exploded. That was bad...

I just got a great idea...

...Breaded deep-fried bacon.

With country gravy?

In other news, Hillary has instructed her staff to invite Sen. Obama for a celebratory dinner if he gives her the VP slot.

Alcohol is forbidden to Muslims, pork to Jews, and I believe Mormons are not supposed to drink potted beverages. Calling it a sin was rather hyperbolic.

[Osage Orange]

Calling it a sin was rather hyperbolic.

I know what the "forbiddens" are........

Exaggerations are rampant here.........

During the 1970s & 1980s I always took (Danish, IIRC) canned bacon with me hunting or fishing.

It seemed to keep better than packaged; and there was no carton to waterlog in the ice chest. It was on the thin side, but was leaner than average packaged bacon. Then I couldn't find it any longer. Glad to see an American product on the shelves.
