...the recipe comprises Italian sausagemeat and syrupy barbecue sauce all bound up in a sort of roll with a lattice of fatty bacon, then smoked on a barbecue at a rate of one hour per inch. The whole thing contains about half a kilo of fat.
Mmmm, bacon. Thanks nickcarraway.

How much trouble would ensue if that were a scratch 'n sniff bacon shirt on that lovely young lady?

I believe that the 'bacon defense' has gained legal standing to the point where no jury would convict you if it became clear that the pursuit of bacon was involved in the matter.

I'm guessing also that any lady who would be so bright and well-adjusted as to wear a shirt like that to begin with would most likely be entirely understanding of the irresistible nature of the forces involved and would in fact be expecting such interactions and greet them with a welcoming demeanor.

Just as a young lady from Texas might answer a gent's polite compliments about her outfit or hairstyle with "Why, thank you sugar!" instead of a community-sanctioned beatdown and lawsuit such as what a gent might expect here in the People's Republic of Seattle, so also I believe that a gent's natural reaction to a vivacious and buxom young lass in a pro-Bacon t-shirt will be fully sanctioned as being expected behaviors.

We could test these theories by standing in a mall somewhere and wait for the perfect test case to stroll by...

Agreed, and we could also produce and sell your excellent 'scratch 'n sniff' bacon t-shirt concept as well as other wardrobe options, custom tailored for the busy lady who 'doesn't have a thing to wear'.

 

 

 

and for times when beer or whisky might be inappropriate to have with your bacon:

hehe! That one little piece of bacon in the tray of the Bacon Alarm Clock looks pretty pathetic and lonely, doesn’t it? ;-)
I have no doubt that if sufficient FReeper intellectual firepower were applied to the problem, a bacon alarm clock that cooks an entire pound of bacon all at once could be made a reality :-)
It’s such a natural idea, I’m surprised that such a device wasn’t made part of the household cultural landscape decades ago.

works great in a slow oven, when it’s too cold to fire up the BBQ or smoker...

I imagine that would be good too. I just have an aversion to gas grills. Why bother?

Now forgive me for making a generalisation, but isn’t it characteristically American to take something that we all like, something deliciously sweet-salty like bacon and, well, go too far with it?

While we're making generalizations, is this food critic bagging on American cuisine while coming from a nation that lays claim to spotted dick, blood pudding and haggis? Get back to us when you've discovered another way of cooking besides boiling offal.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand this phrase...

‘Day has done this.

Yes, it is really easy to do and you can customize the recipe a little.

For instance, the last time I did it I added some sage on the final layer, and instead of pure BBQ sauce, I finished it off with a molasses glaze. It is pure heaven!

Gas grills are just fine for grilling small amounts and when you need constant temperature control. It's quick and easy, and the results are fine. However, gas is useless for smoking meats (the water vapor caused by the burning gas actually interferes with the smoking process).

For larger-scale cooking, or any kind of smoking, charcoal is better, though it takes more pre-cooking time.

As for me, I typically use gas because I'm usually only cooking for 2 and in a small time window.
