...at least for a bacon alternative.
Costco Lemon pepper cod.
Nomming it for supper.
I've bought several boxes of it in the past and its easily the best store bought fish I've ever had.

Have you been hanging around fistful again?

He is the only other person I know that would say something is better than bacon.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

I move that it be closed at once, and stricken from the record.

I would never say it's better than bacon.

My wife thinks it's funny that I get excited whenever we're watching Deadliest Catch, and I complain about all those nice cod they catch as bait for crab.

I'd save a couple dozen of 'em for myself!

Still heresy

And my heritage makes it hard for me to say such a thing.

Silly boy, prosciutto IS bacon.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

First of all if we are here we are disturbed.

Secondly it is fistful, nothing he does disturbs me anymore.  Getting used to it.

If fistful no longer truely disturbs you, you should seek medical help IMMEDIATLY.

In fact, we should put a medical warning lable on him to that effect.

Earlier this year I spent some time trying to convince my vegetarian friend that chicken, beef & lamb are in fact vegetables. Chicken, because no real animal can run around for months without it's head, cows & lamb because they've got nothing in the way of brain activity inside, so they count as vegetables too. As for pig, I brought forth the argument that "they'd eat you given the chance, the best way to deny them that chance is to eat them before they eat you". Did not convince her.

Baked Swai in butter this evening, with asparagus sautéed in butter.

*Belch*

It's pretty noms.  Not bacon, of course, but noms nonetheless.

Oh -- and green tea.  Twinings.

Silly boy, prosciutto IS bacon.
Ham, actually.

And not smoked, only dry cured.

And with the exception of the shank, almost always eaten raw.

Had some as part of a tapas recipe a few weeks back. Did not finish the one piece. [barf]

The other items we made that night were highly nommable.

What is a "Swai" and what part of the animal is it made from?

(Sorry about the giggling but questions like that always remind me of Marilyn Monroe's question about what other parts of the Motzoh are edible.)
