Makes me want to kill more pigs.

This great product is used on salads, in soups, in omelets, and just as a handful of goodness to prevent bacon withdrawal.
I’d wager that Scott Berson (author) is a vegetarian/vegan.
He may be right though, cause I’m *crazy* about bacon, and hotdogs.

Trader Joes applewood smoked bacon ends are awesome and well priced.
