The bacon trainwreck continues...
ps: I don't eat bacon (or pizza) and longer on nurse's orders due to heartburn.
After reading a wiki entry on the stuff...I may very well be an anti-vegemite.
My dad had vegemite or marmite (I don't remember which - he had been stationed in England during WWII and became addicted to the stuff there) on toast in the mornings in the 1950s. I never developed a taste for the stuff. On another group I used to belong to, we had three years or so of debates on vegemite versus marmite - and those debates were hilarious.
No one has mentioned durian yet.
Think of the Alien movie. Turn it into food. Durian.
Boom Boom, thanks for the Bacon Jam recipe - I'm batching it so that gives me a Sunday project that my wife can't complain about.
Just don't ask me to sample it for you.
I'll get back to you after I finish breakfast
A friend in the US South writes: "I just bought bacon dill pickles at the store today."
ps: LOL @ abnormal!!!
OMG! This thread is absolutely extraordinary! Abnormal, are you sure you have enough bacon there? I have found bacon sammiches are good with Dijon mustard!
Define "enough"
Um, excuse me, but that is not gross food, that looks like MOUTH-WATERING food!
Is the cardiac resuscitation included in price?
No - for that you've got to go to the Heart Attack Grill.
Wow, just looking at that photo gave me palpitations. I move that the ad be pulled or banned.
ETA: (American, but relevant)
President Barack Obama has officially proclaimed February to be American Heart Month, just as every president has done before him, dating back to a 1963 resolution passed by Congress to draw attention to the leading cause of death among U.S. adults.
Heart disease accounts for 2,200 deaths in the U.S. every day, or one in every three, according to the CDC. Luckily, simple diet and lifestyle changes can greatly reduce your risk. Maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking and keeping stress levels under control are all great places to start. Another powerful way to take control of your ticker is to watch what you eat.
That's from a place called the Heart Attack Grill the home of 8,000 calorie burgers.
but if you want someplace closer to home, there's Dangerous Dan's Diner in Toronto. If you look at their menu you'll find things like this:
and that's not even their masterpiece. That title is reserved for
I suppose the purchase of a Quadruple C "Collosal Colon Clogger Combo" as in the photo could be justified if it was shared with about ten to twelve people. Otherwise, it's culinary suicide.
Boom Boom, have to admit that today I couldn't make a dent in that. In my serious jock days I'd have been looking for the second course. (No joke.)
I have to be careful because of health issues. No bacon or pizza, ever again. I gave up cigarettes 40 years ago, booze - except for the occasional beer or glass of wine - in the 1990s. I would consider a pure veggie diet, butwe don't get enough variety here in the boondocks.
I'm becoming unnerved by this string of gentile food bashing.
Speaking of a good punch to the heart...

I seen this place on the Discovery Channel.
Now for the "Fatty Melt"
That's right - It's a burger with two grilled cheese sandwiches as its bun.

Of course the reason it qualifies as gross food is that it's missing the all essential ingredient:
That's right - the first version is missing bacon!
http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2008/10/the-bacon-hamburger-fatty-me...
I've heard of this terrible "sandwich" (boy does that word seem inadequte), but when it was related to me it was a double-decker hamburger (with bacon, natch). How does one even eat this thing?
With difficulty. I tried it once - tasted great but it was incredibly awkward to eat - the multiple layers kept sliding around whenever I bit into it.
Just showed this to my 10 year old. "Gross", was her reaction. "Totally gross", was my response, "but wouldn't it be cool at a Halloween party?"
Followed with a nice bowl of:

abnormal, you reminded me of a food show I saw years ago featuring burgers with Krispy Kreme donuts as buns.
