Sergeant at Arms! Please escort the reactionary anti-baconist criminal element Neuromancer from the premises. No bruises. This time.

But he *deserves* bruises for such blasphemy.

Went to the local meat market for the first time when some folks from the looney bin were coming to visit. T'was the good stuff. My first time cooking for so many folks, so I lined them up on baking pans. The first batch could have been a bit crispier. The second batch was pretty good, methinks. "Crisp with some flex" is damn nice.

On a related note, I have to lay them flat side-by-side. I usually cook on a ridged cast-iron skillet that (in my mind, at least) is made for bacon.

Damn ... now I'm hungry.

Raisin (Mike)'s bacon is the Shiznit! Nothing better.

We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Sevierville, TN, The Von Bryan Mountain Top Inn and they had the absolute best bacon I have ever had in my life. Thick cut, what they called Honey Bacon. Unbelieveble!

He cures the pork himself, from the loin, and cuts it very thin in "sheets". It cooks up in butter and makes the best BLT I have ever had bar none.

I am sure my description doesn't do it justice, ask the attendee's of the SHIII, I think we pretty much said it was the best we all had ever eaten unanimously .

Yep yep! I'm a man who knows his bacon (as my incredible fatness will attest), and Mike's bacon is FANTASTIC
