Extremely Highbrow Baconmania

"Cochon 555 is a culinary event featuring 5 chefs, 5 pigs, and 5 winemakers in a friendly competition for a cause. Each chef will prepare a 70 pound heritage pig from head to toe for 200 enthusiasts." (flash site) The Cochon 555 series has 10 events scheduled of which 5 remain, culminating in the double-sized Grand Cochon. Fair warning: the photo gallery on the site isn't safe for those who don't want to see piggy parts. Foodista has a better photo set focusing exclusively on the end products.

Theodore Gray, author of the new book Theo Gray's Mad Science, has a personal collection of thousands of samples of elements [previously on MetaFilter]. In his Popular Science column, he has smelted his own titanium and dissolved aluminum. Now, he cuts through steel with bacon.

It's the most important meal of the day.

The Breakfast Song. Oh, but breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. For a bit of background, Chris Kimball of Cook's Illustrated can teach you the history of pioneer and Victorian breakfasts, which were centered around foods we still enjoy today. Donuts are a staple, as are breakfast cereals, themselves the subject of a fine and storied history. Bacon is a universe unto itself, as you surely already know. And what about the waffle? Not just a taste senstation but namesake to one of America's great culinary joys. And it's versatile, too. Fried joy is yours with the equally versatile beignet, fried apples and, of course, the simple and elegant fried egg. All this wonderful food, surely we must have equally wonderful drink! Coffee is a staple, as is breakfast tea. But you deny yourself some of life's great pleasures if you stop short of alcoholic breakfast drinks: mimosas, Bloody Marys, Irish coffee, or this eponymous joy built upon vodka, peach schnapps and raspberry liqueur.

Pass The Pigs

Anyone remember the game Pass The Pigs? Our version was called Pig Mania. Kind of a dice game, but with these little rubber pigs. No? Well, thankfully, you can now play it online here. Or here. And for the iPhone. Since this is the internet, and all, I shouldn't be surprised that people have run the numbers. Oh, and I almost forgot the official site.

"Meat Vision" allows Bacon Boy to propel sausages and corn dogs out of his eye sockets - A young man's art therapy produced a hero, Bacon Boy, and has been chosen by the Tacoma Museum of Glass as part of a traveling exhibit, "Kids Design Glass". He created Bacon Boy as part of his program, during his treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia. As they worked, a pound of bacon sizzled atop the glass furnace for atmosphere. Periodically, the glass artists shouted, "Bacon's cooking."

X-Ray of a Reader

CheeseDigestsAll — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:09:43 -0800

Ever used a slice of bacon as a bookmark? How about a hundred dollar bill? For every reader who has grabbed something close at hand and slipped it into a book, it seems there's a patron of a used book store who has found it.

It was, as they say, inevitable: the bacon tuxedo.

Awesome Foo Fighters rider: "Bacon. I call it "god's currency." Hell, if it could be breathed, I would."

In the wake of Iggy Pop's high-larious tour rider, Foo Fighters have updated their 2008 rider (earlier rider here.) Full of jokes about Dio and bacon witticisms, you've got to admire these hardworking young men, for, as they say, "We are just another bend trying to make enough money to fuel our private jet. Please help."

Just call 'em slabs of joy.

Bacon caramel. Candied bacon and egg ice cream. Bacon lip balm. Bacon bra (NSFW). Bacon placemants. French-fry coated bacon on a stick. An overabundance of bacon cakes. Bacon cookies. Bacon and bourbon. And fifty other ways to use MeFi's favorite food--BACON.

Fancy a fry-up?

grounded — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:52:36 -0800

It's what's for breakfast. But, according to the Times, anyone with a college degree is too intelligent to eat a fry-up. In England, the classic full breakfast is a litmus test for media elitism. The low-brow Daily Mail suggests it can help fight cancer. The no-brow Sun searches for Britain's best. The monobrow BBC published its obituary in 2002. You can also go to Fryup or create your own in 45 seconds. But beware what happens if you forget to pay for yours.
