I agree, but you should know I make a great maple walnut ice cream.
I stand corrected. Maple walnut ice cream is the exception!

I am with you there. I hate maple flavored bacon.
The best bacon I ever tasted was organic. How was it better? It just tasted like bacon, but more so, and didn't have those chemical tastes that we don't usually notice. I bought organic bacon again and it was just good, not spectacular like that first package (different brand, I think).
I do have to admit I like maple smoked bacon. though I do prefer, as usual, hickory.
Any uncured bacon should be free of the chemicals (sodium nitrite), organic or no. "Organic" bacon would have to be uncured.
Yes, it means how the pigs were raised as well as how the bacon was cured. It was cured with just salt. It was frozen.Does organic mean uncured or the way the pigs were raised? I took it to mean the pigs had no growth hormones and were raised in more of a natural setting, perhaps left to forage. If it's uncured it's just pork belly, isn't it?

No, it's not organic and DDT is. But salt is allowed in "organic food" and DDT isn't.But salt is not organic, it's a mineral.
...Unfortunately the term "natural" has been abused.

When I wrote that there was only salt, I meant NaCl, not nitrites or nitrates. I think there may have been vinegar.How can anything billed as "organic" contain things that aren't? Sodium nitrite, and sodium nitrate, are not organic. Salts, as mentioned, are not organic. I also thought the purpose of "organic" food was no preservatives, which NaNO2 and NaNO3 both are, and they also pretty nasty if you miss and add too much.
This is why I think they need to change the word. It is misleading and all about trickery and marketing.

Man you guys really dredged up the memories for me. My Dad used to cook bacon with a little sugar sprinkled on it. I loved it. But when I made some once for my ex- hubby he said I ruined it. To each his own. Must warn you though, if you decide to try this it burns very easily.
I want my bacon crisp like potato chips. And don't be adding any sweet flavours to it.
I think I could very easily handle chocolate covered bacon. I mean, if they put bacon in cup cakes, why not dip it in chocolate?
I once tried a chocolate chip cookie with bacon at a party. It wasn't awful, but I thought it was a waste of good bacon and of good chocolate chip cookies.I think I could very easily handle chocolate covered bacon. I mean, if they put bacon in cup cakes, why not dip it in chocolate?
At what point of the cooking do you add the sugar? Spike can sit and eat a pound of bacon at one sitting. And he doesn't care how it is cooked. But he is always open to new ideas.
Aunt Bea, I definitely will have to show him your post. But I will have to find a protective screen for my monitor. He will be drooling all over it when reading it.
