"In the Mood for Bacon Dessert?"

Um, no.

[ApplegateRanch]

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! BACON!

Here is Course #6 of a 5 hour, 24 course meal:

06 BACON butterscotch, apple, thyme

As yes, the infamous bacon, a "single piece of limp bacon in butterscotch, apple and thyme and hung on a tiny silver clothesline," according to Esquire's John Mariani. If any dish were to be named "signature," this would be it. Though my piece was not limp, it was not exactly crisp from the frying pan either. Instead, it was rigid, yet flexible, a fine balance of texture going along with a fine balance of sweet and savory, an amalgam of smoky sweet flavor that goes together surprisingly well. The dish was a favorite of one of my dining companions.

To see the entire 24 cousre train wreck, complete with severl "EXPLOSIONS of flavor!": Alinea (Chicago, IL)

Plebian me, I'll take an Amish or Basque 'family style' meal.

That was the line Julie London’s husband, Bobby Troup, had in M*A*S*H.

Zooks....trend had to have started in the south.

Even Chicken is fried in bacon grease to be properly southern fried.

Was that the movie or t.v. series? I never did see the movie and I should because I watched the tv show as a kid and enjoyed it.

The Movie.

MASH Moments to remember

At the one-minute mark, you can hear Bobby Troup’s cameo line. He played a motor pool Jeep driver chauffeuring Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland around Tokyo. His line punctuated a really bad day.

Thanks for that. It’s always one of those movies on my list I have always wanted to see. I will make it a point to see it this weekend on DVD.
