But when I do bake these cookies, and by Odin’s Balls, I will—someday, I’ll have to remember to look for bacon that hasn’t been maple-cured. Which brings up the important point about hickory-smoked as well.
I actually followed that link from your site earlier this evening. That looks interesting to me. Ridiculous, overpriced, and too much; but interesting.
Heck yeah. Those cookies rocked my socks off. I ate the entire batch I made in 2 days. Fantastic. Although I used a super-thick cut, which I don’t think I’d do next time, they get a little chewy. And bacon is good for you.
Hey, now. Pigs are as clean as any other animal; it isn’t their fault that pig farmers keep them in squalor. In the state of nature, wild pigs are just like any other four-footed beastie.
But significantly uglier than most (which has nothing to do with my desire to not eat pigs).
I refer you to various parts of Pulp Fiction for references to:
<ol>
<li>I don’t dig on swine.
<li>A pig is a filthy animal.
<li>My girlfriend is a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian.
</ol>
For me, it was my ex-wife and I’ve come back to more carnivorous ways since we’ve been divorced. For the sake of general health and well-being, I’ve been considering going back to a near-vegetarian diet, though, and that definitely includes no swine.
And let’s not forget mole (which I guess needs on of those funny accent thingies on the e). I wonder if there are mole recipes that use bacon? Chiles, chocolate, and bacon—now there’s a combination! Makes me wonder how the flavor of an Anaheim pepper would work in a CC cookie. (With and without bacon)
Well, if you are what you eat and a pig is a filthy animal, I guess I am too. And I have absolutely no problem with that, because I get the tasty food. Just remember vegetables are not food, they are what food eats.
That’s it, just for the good of the blog, I’m eating a big ol’ bit of pig sometime this weekend. I don’t know what shape it will take, but pig will be eaten.

Well, you know, its not the first time Jed has made us wonder ...
Excellent point.
Help! Help! I’m being disparaged.
If I possessed such kitcheny type thingies as an electric mixer, and cookie sheets, I’d show you two! You’d witness firsthand the power of bacon!
I do admit, however, that the though of a maple glaze on CC cookies sets me back a bit.
You know who else hates bacon, David?
Islamofascist terrorists, that’s who.
I’m just saying.
Jed, that still leaves you believing that cookies, chocolate chips, and bacon can coexist in harmony.
And as for you, Robert, I can’t believe you would stoop so low as to bring my unusual religious beliefs into this conversation. Shameful.
Hey, I’m all about harmony, baby.

I pointed this out to Cheryl ... I think she’s going to try them. I may, too, if I get some time this weekend.
And, as long as we’re talking about recipes ...
I just don’t dig on swine, that’s all.

I’ll quote from the film “I Am Legend”: ‘I was saving that bacon.’

A pig is a filthy animal.

BAH! Life isn’t worth living without bacon!

I said it twice because that’s how emphatic I am! You just be glad I didn’t break out all caps!
Bacon Chocolate bars are haute-chocolat. And I have actually tasted one.
But the curry-chocolate bars are the best!
Yannow, the national dish of Mexico is a paste/sauce made from chocolate, chiles, peanuts, raisins, and toasted bread. Incredibly delicious.

The way I see it, if G-d didn’t mean for us to eat things that taste good, why do they taste good?

May I suggest mesquite barbequed pork ribs?
Alas, Mel’s Pony Express Barbeque is long gone, or I’d just send you there.
