Great Moments in Fat History- "The Bacon Explosion"



By Reno Gruber, Eater of most things unholy.

When we think of the 'new' America, we think of a crumbling economy and lost jobs… but we also dream of hope. When we think of the 'old' America, well, we think of wars started by old people and a foreign policy that revolved around "our god is righter than your god." But in both of these Americas, we have the tireless urge to consume. Now that we know it's bad panda for us to drive tanks to the mall and emit garbage into the atmosphere because it's probably brought an ice age dangerously close, we turn that tireless need to consume inwards.

Luckily the people at BBQADDICTS.COM
have surmised a beautiful way to to kill yourself slowly in the most delicious way possible.

Ladies and gentlemen: The Bacon Explosion.

Start with a 10 piece slab of weaved bacon, dry rubbed with seasoning salt. Then add a few pounds of Italian sausage on top. Then for the salty icing on this meat-cake, add a lb. of bacon cooked in the middle.

But the purely American genius that comes next is the presentation:

The sausage is rolled with the cooked bacon in the middle, then the uncooked bacon weave is rolled on top of that. This takes the term "suck my salty meat log" to a whole new and delectable level.

Where my counterparts may wax poetic on this being yet another blight on the state of our glorious union, I feel this particular piece of ingenuity is a stoke of unadulterated brilliance.

Will your heart explode if you eat this? Probably. But the question you ask yourself should be: "Is it worth it?"

Yes. I believe it is.

PPs. No word on whether or not the actual explosion is in your pants after digestion.

Nice! That there looks like Superbowl cusine! It would go down real nice with a quart of Colt 45 Double Malt!

True LM, but I'd suggest pouring 2 tablespoons of saltin that Colt .45 for good measure.
