Vegetables are the new meat

I used to hate Brussels sprouts. The only way I had ever had them was boiled, and they were smelly and disgusting. Then I found a recipe for pan-fried Brussels sprouts in bacon. Now, be honest, is there anything that a little bacon cannot improve? There is a reason we are in the midst of a bacon boom – it’s not just for eggs and hamburgers anymore. I’ve seen pictures, some quite disturbing, of bacon-wrapped jelly doughnuts, bacon pizza, BLTs without the L and the T, chocolate-covered bacon, deep-fat fried bacon and bacon on a stick. One company has introduced Baconnaise – mayonnaise with bacon in it to save you the trouble of adding bacon to tuna salad. I hear someone has also introduced a bacon-scented aftershave. If that is not illegal, it is certainly irresponsible. What woman can resist a man who smells of bacon? It could wreck the balance of power in the war between the sexes.
