The Bacon Explosion: "because Republicans like meat"

[wtmusic]

featured on Wikipedia today

"A Bacon Explosion is a pork dish that consists of bacon wrapped around a filling of spiced sausage and bacon bits. The football-sized dish is smoked or baked.

It was first posted on a blog<1><2> and caused an internet sensation. It quickly spread to the mainstream press with numerous stories discussing the porcine feast.<2> In time, the articles began to discuss the Internet "buzz" itself.<2>

<>

A prepared bacon explosion contains at least 5,000 calories (21,000 kJ) and 500 grams of fat.<2> After preparing a version of the dish, Andrew Vennari of the San Francisco Food Examiner said the dish tasted better than expected, "but I didn't learn the true meaning of the bacon explosion until the next day."

1. This has been discussed in the Cooking & Baking group

My only comment was that it is the only thing that might make a turducken look good.

The only thing you can do to make it more white trash decadent is deep fry it, and I would imagine that's next.

by the sizeable window where they can procreate before getting heart disease.

Shame.

Gotta be a way to add cheese as well...

4. Actually, no.

If you actually love meat, you don't wrap it in bacon.

5. I don't get it.

What the hell does it have to do with Republicans? I'm a carnivore...and a Democrat.
:shrug:

6. Because they believe all Democrats are alien vegan welfare queens

and they are pissed off that McCain lost.
