While looking for something else, I ran across this advertisement.
Candied bacon? Why would anyone do that to perfectly good bacon? Why would anyone add chocolate and cinnamon and nuts to bacon? I think bacon tastes damn good just as it is—fried in a skillet. And I bet most people will agree.
There’s a saying: a good artist knows when the painting is finished. That means when the painting is finished, stop painting. If you keep painting, you will only screw up what might have been a nice piece of art. The trick here is to know when the painting is complete. With art, that’s not always easy.
However, it’s very easy with bacon. You fry it. Or you bake it. Or you microwave it. It gets crisp. It tastes good, the way bacon should. At that point, stop. Don’t put junk on it. You can’t improve the taste of bacon by making it taste like something else.
