Years ago bacon moved into the realm of popular culture and has since been celebrated by people who otherwise wouldn't give a shit about food. There are bacon band-aids, bacon toothpastes, bacon candles, bacon soaps, and even bacon wallets. Bacon fucking wallets, people. Has bacon jumped the proverbial shark and become a meme, a gimmick, a sideshow or will this fad continue forever like the housing market? Are these bacon kitsch manufacturers akin to property investors who flip houses and artificially inflate the market or does fault lie at the level of the consumer? Are even people like myself to blame for this mass hysteria which is bound to crash and burn at some point in the future or is bacon as food here forever?
All these questions arose in my mind when I saw the eerie harbinger pictured above. Were my eyes deceiving me or did I just jump out of a Delorean to witness the future? It created more questions than answers and tore a rip in the fabric of my fragile universe. "Nice photography skills." Yeah, I'm going to stand there forever to get the perfect picture at a fucking funeral for some dude with the last name of bacon just to please you, asshole. Go fuck yourself. I'm not trying to get chased down the street by an angry mob of mourners, stupid. Anyway, what conclusion did I come to about the future of bacon? Who gives a shit? Now I just want some goddamn bacon. Eat it.

That title scared the shit out of me. Thought some asshole had made it illegal. Aaaand relax.
Right after I posted this, Huffington Post Food posted this article on the tweeters: Bacon cologne - http://huff.to/g2LjvM
Seriously, dude? You're the last one we ever expected to post some crappy bullshit scare article like this one.
But whatever. Bacon is no more of a fad than sex or weed or beer, and we know goddamn well that there's no way your scaling back your bacon intake anytime soon.
BACON IS FOREVER.
Don't you fucking forget it.
And yes. Eat it. Shitloads of it.
I hope the dead's family has a classy remark for his tombstone. You can't waste a name like that.
Pork belly as food, yes. As a cultural meme, I'm not so sure...
RIP Bacon
Here is a nice link to Bacon Jam recipe. In fact, this is where I found your blog.
I have not tried it yet, but will get around to it at some point.
Bacon is alive and well.

You have to copy and paste. Links don't seem to transfer.
Since moving here to Latin America, I haven't seen so much as a scrap of bacon. And my life feels just fine...
HOLY SHIT! Who killed bacon???
Ah, yes: notquitenigella.com
Good site there.
There may not be strip bacon but I'm sure there are shitloads of pork belly products there.
Some dickhead!
Yeah, you loser, that's because they can't afford it. But in Latin America, what you don't see is what hurts you. They use so much lard in their cooking that heart attacks start to get them in their late twenties. So stuff that in your smug fucking craw you bacon deprived bean snob, cause you're next.
Lard tastes good. I am 53 yrs old and internet savvy enough to know I should not eat it. But that does not change the fact that it is delicious. My grandma lived till she was 89 and my dad is now 83. We like bacon and foods cooked in bacon fat. I know I am not PC but I don't give a shit.
I'm gonna live 30 more years or 33 more years. I would rather have my collards with bacon grease. 30 years of good food beats the hell out of 33 years of bad food.
The thoughts of a dickhead.
One post in a month and this is all you can come up with? Come on man cook some bull testicles or some shit bro!
Knowing that there was a funeral home in DC called W H Bacon makes this less funny. Sorry to ruin it for everyone.
