good bacon - the things you say

This is from a blog post I wrote after seeing this cartoon and hearing my son include 'good bacon' as an ingredient.

Sometimes it seems that food just can't be food. I asked my ds about a recipe he had made in the restaurant where he works, and he said, x, y and 'good bacon'. I didn't take it as a personal affront, but really, I've rarely gone into a store and asked for poor bacon, bad bacon, or inferior bacon. Now I do buy the chopped bacon bits at our Amish market, but it's still good bacon and works just fine for rendering some for a roast. Lately I have seen the term 'good bacon' bandied about a lot. If you are reading this, please tell me you have used non-good bacon!

I put that term in the same category as the sign at a local fast food joint.... Naturally Cut Fries. As opposed to 'unnaturally' cut? Is that some sort of food perversion or fetish? Actually, I really don't want to know more and I suspect you don't either. If your fries aren't good, and bad for me, I believe the method used is not relevant. So there.

Thanks for looking!
LOL, Maureen! I am constantly telling my children to include more adjectival descriptions in their writing, but sometimes enough is enough! ;-) I agree with you ... some terms are just hype! Wonderful journaling, and I LOVE that cartoon!

P.S. Did you get my e-mail response to your PM? I sent it to your e-mail address.
 
i think food has BECOME a fetish in this culture. i use Bad Bacon all the time. and probably Bad Ground Meat and Bad Lettuce. but i'm sure anything nowadays would pass muster with Foodies if you sprinkled giant bits of salt over it....

love your page!!
 
Bwahahahahah! Superb - the title alone just forced me to open this in the gallery, I simply had to see what you were on about, and my word was I rewarded. Totally LOVE this LO, the design, the cartoon, but most of all your wonderful words. More, please.
 
Ha this made me laugh! Love how you included that cartoon with the page! Isn't all bacon good bacon really! hehe!
