User Contrib: Bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple cinnamon glaze.

From Doug Winter comes a pointer to what looks like one of the most amazing bacon recipes to ever grace the dessert section of this website. And how bacontarian is this quote?

This whole thing started the other night when my husband and I were having a conversation about what foods could and could not be made better with the addition of bacon.

Sure, that was a good salad, but it would have been so much better with bacon. That was a delicious baked potato.. I wish it had some bacon on it. You know what was missing from breakfast this morning?- bacon. I think we’ve come up with so many foods which bacon can enhance, that we really were wondering what foods it wouldn’t

That’s a conversation i’ve had so many times i can hardly remember, but never with this particular outcome.

Ooh you tasty little things…: Experiments in deliciousness: Bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple cinnamon glaze.

User Contrib - Bacon Cotton Candy

From sharkbomb comes this story, and isn’t it just an awesome idea. Not as nauseatingly sweet as the original, but rather with a resplendent taste of our favourite meat:

User contributions - part 1

In the past months, while the site has been largely in stasis (”master bacon” has been on paternity leave, teaching his young son to eat more pork), our loyal visitors have been actively submitting recipes and stories.

So, i’ve taken it upon myself to revitalize bacontarian, by posting some of the backlog of posts from the queue. Probably one a day or so.

I’ll start with a very time-sensitive submission from Diane at Hormel Foods:

The “Danish” Man Sandwich

Thanks to Andrew Lee for pointing us towards this great little “Build you own bacon sandwich” flash game:

The Man Sandwich

Finally, research that matters

Forget web 2.0, forget medical research, forget space exploration, finally, out of Leeds University, comes research that really matters.

Experts at Leeds University discovered the secret to the ideal sandwich lay in how crispy and crunchy rashers were.

Bacon Ice Cream

sharkbomb commented on a recent posting with a link to this, dare i say, slightly bizarre recipe for Bacon Ice Cream. I haven’t tried this, but having previously requested bacon dessert recipes I’m loving this, and think ti would go wonderfully with some of these bacon cookie ’s

A big thanks to sharkbomb for a seasonally appropriate recipe!

Nosheteria: Bacon Popcorn

Wow! I must try me some of this…..

Nosheteria: Snacking Thy Name is Decadence

But this is Nosheteria, not some ascetic kitchen, and I’ve been out of college for quite some time, so leave it to me to bring popcorn from the healthy to the sublime. And what is the fastest way to do that? By adding bacon of course…everything’s better with bacon.

Pictures of Rotting Bacon….

Do NOT click on this link unless your love of bacon is strong enough to handle images of it in rapid deterioration!

the WAREHOUSE

Okay, now…take your time answering this one. On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly do you want to see pictures of rotting bacon? The answer to this question very well may play a strong factor in whether or not you want to scroll down.
