“But is it art?” Bacon Redux
I am feeling a little nostalgic because it was about this time last year I was up at Chez ssSteph enjoying Christmas and trying out some experimental bacon cookies. Yes, I said bacon cookies, don’t sneer. ssSteph is mostly vegetarian (not to mention really tolerant to let me stink up her house with a pound of fried bacon) so all of the taste testing was left to me, but I have to say they were pretty good. If you can get over the whole, “there is meat in my cookie” mind bender and just focus on the sweet and savory combination of flavors you might enjoy them. Here is a link to a baking blog called Never Bashful With Butter where they have a recipe, as well as all kinds of more traditional, but no less delicious ideas. For those of you who are more committed to bacon than you are to cookies, I found a Bacon of the Month Club.

i think the general consensus was that bacon cookies are a hit as long as you like mammal meat.

I love chocolate as many know, and I love bacon in small doses. Together? Aaahh……..don’t think so.

As far as food goes, I’ll try just about anything except testicles or digestive organs. Have you tried making chocolate covered bacon? I hear it’s divine.

that is an excellent suggestion, perhaps a d’arte board experiment is in order!
