Batgrl dropped by and left us a link to the Breakfast Blogger’s Bacon Weave. Very nice, thanks!

BaconPig

BaconPig is one of those things you hate to cheapen with your own, inferior commentary:

What was your pigskin pick for the Superbowl? Mine was bacon. Err, long drawn out and ludicrous analogy here: Superbowl ~ football ~ pigskin ~ bacon-wrapped pork loaf. It’ll become clear later. Here’s the thought. People have been building all sorts of crazy stuff out of the wonder that is bacon, from the lowly bacon-wrapped scallops to the mighty meat house. But has anyone tried to restore a Frankenstein’s Monster-like dignity to the pig from which the bacon hails? Probably not, because most people aren’t this crazy.

He then reassembles a pig and gives hilarious step by step insructions. You have to go, if only to look at the pictures.

Just. Wow.

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies

Now here’s a recipe that anyone has to find heavenly: jalapenos and cream cheese wrapped in bacon. I have seen several raves about these all over the internet. Simply must try them at some point. I think I need one of those draining racks for my cookie sheet though. If someone out there gets around to making them first, please please let us know about the results!

What’s wired (February 2008)

A few people have passed on the link to the Wired Magazine “What’s Wired this Month” column in issue 16.02:

10. BACON OF THE MONTH
Nothing says “love” more than a cured pork product. This Valentine’s Day, surprise your carnivorous sweetie with a $150 year’s supply of schmancy bacon, delivered to their door by The Grateful Palate. And if chocolate also makes your honey squeal with delight, try Mo’s Bacon Bar from Vosges — there’s applewood-smoked pig strips in every bite.

Those are the products that led us down the path to meatblogging in the first place! It’s fun to see the way different publications present different products to their audience (revolting, exciting, expensive, a bargain, etc) so keep those links coming – we always appreciate them!

MIA: Team Meat

Atkins Babe promises to post the pictures and play by play commentary on her adventures coating bacon with chocolate. Soon, I hope. I’m telling you, you turn your back on meatbloggers for even a moment and they all wander off…

I’ll teach ‘em. I’m going to post about cannibalism until they return…

PigLit

In the Washington Post‘s Book World section, Ron Charles reviews two new pig-centric novelsin “Bringing Home the Bacon: two comic writers take a cut at tales told out of school.”The novels are Roger Rosenblatt’s Beet and Joseph Caldwell’s The Pig Did It. The piece is accompanied by a short list of literary pigs, including obvious selections like Charlotte’s Web and Winnie the Pooh as well as more abstract choices like The Amityville Horror and Lord of the Flies.

Mr. Bacon versus Monsieur Tofu

From the mad geniuses at Archie McPhee:

Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu are fired up and ready to rumble, but only one can remain at the top of the food chain! Mr. Bacon stands 5-5/8″ tall and fights for everything salty, greasy and meaty. Monsieur Tofu is 3-3/8″ tall and represents all things made of coagulated soy milk. The winner gets eaten for dinner! Each vinyl figure has bendable arms and legs.

The Pork Barrel

The Pork Barrel is a communal blog about pork. I’m pleased to note that they’ve named their blog roll “the pork roll.”
