Bacon

Poll question: Bacon

I just cooked 5 or 6 pieces of bacon that were on the verge of going bad. What should I do now?

1. On the verge of going bad?

I'd toss it in the garbage.

2. Bad food...

Eating bad/rotten food just ain't worth it.

3. it was fine

I have a VERY sensitive nose. The color was not fresh - package had been opened a while but no off odors at all - believe me, I can tell. I'm dreading checking the pot of beans that have been in the porch fridge - it does tend to freeze things but they are probably bad. I hate wasting food, but the house is empty the past few weeks and I'm used to cooking for 5 (three teen appetites in that total!) There is so much FOOD! and so few dirty dishes!

6. verge - probably would have been off if I waited until tomorrow

I saw the color this morning and thought it was too late and I was too busy to cook it this morning so when I sniffed a while ago I was pleasantly surprised. Ahhh preservatives.:rofl:

7. Bacon is raised to a sufficient temperature

in crisp cooking to kill anything but prions.

It might not taste as good but it won't be harmful.

5. Put them in the fridge and use for ANY of the uses in your poll.....

....but don't limit yourself.....you can crumble the bacon on "loaded baked potatoes', for instance.

Use them up in whatever way you can on the first occasion that you can.

Bacon....MMMMMMMMmmmmm :-)

9. Oh, good!

Because I couldn't manage to vote... I was completely stuck, divided between BLT & chips!!!!

[Kali]

11. ...

:rofl: yeah once the cooking smell commenced there was no saving for later!

[troubleinwinter]

13. I commend you!

For having the strength and fortitude to manage to save enough for the BLT!

You only had *NOT ENOUGH* strips!

You are truly STRONG.

10. Bacon is one of my favorite foods.

I really have to be careful. LOL I have some fresh jowl bacon coming in my coop order tonight. It'll stay in the freezer for a while. :hi:

[Kali]

12. yeah, it's dangerous

I try to convince myself it is a flavoring, not a food, but ... :P

[troubleinwinter]

14. Meh.

I consider garlic a vegetable, not a "flavoring". Ya only go 'round once.

I don't do bacon too often, but when I do, I DO IT.

I have posted before, but will do again, my fave sandwich that we call a BBT (Bacon, BASIL, Tomato):

Sour dough bread
Bacon
Tomatoes
Whole Fresh Basil Leaves (instead of lettuce)
Sometimes a sprinkle of Gorganzola (OMG!!!!)

the frying pan.
