Is it just me, or....

Yeah, Badshot got you on the bacon clause.. That, and the garlic...

Best thing about all of these meals-CHEAP !!!

[Bailey Guns]

From my perspective, the bacon thing poses a problem. I can heat a can of stew. And I can cook. But I hate to cook. I'll do it in a real survival situation but that's about where I draw the line on cooking. Bacon requires cooking.

Bacon bits in a jar is obviously the solution.

Heresy!!! Repent now and your soul can still be saved!

Oh Bailey.

Bacon bits in a jar? Really?

Oh Bailey!

Sorry man, but you just need to turn in your man card now. The solution to not liking to cook but still getting bacon in your diet is to go to a place like village Inn or Denny's and get some or (for emergency home use) buy the pre-cookded bacon strips (usually found close to or right next to the uncooked bacon).

I tried that pre-cooked bacon a few weeks ago,tasted like cardboard. Bailey- real cooked bacon is like Mom and apple pie it's a given food item in the good old US of A.

I'm with Bailey. There is a jar of bacon bits at work that I've been eating out of for the last week. Plus, you're all going to look like fools come the rapture when Bailey and I have jars of bacon bits in our bug out bags and you only have crappy MREs.

Look...just back the freakin' hog truck up for a second.

I ain't saying I don't like bacon. As a matter of fact, when it does get cooked here, I usually cook it. And I don't have a problem eating an entire 1 lb package myself...I've got the physique and blood pressure meds to proove it. Now, my wife is not only the smartest woman I've ever known but she's the best cook, too. Except she's a damn Yankee and thinks bacon should not have any scientifically detectable moisture left in it after cooking. We all know bacon should be moist and chewy...don't we all know that? Not only is she a Yankee, she's an ICU RN and works nights. So I'm usually on my own for dinner which, if you'll recall poses a problem because I don't cook. Opening a can is only slightly better than going hungry. I really don't like to cook. BTW...cooking implies preparing regular food indoors, in a kitchen, with pots and pans and stuff.

Grilling is different. I grill meat. Including parts of the pig that are left over after taking all the bacon off.

Anyway, what was the point of all this. Oh, yeah...the point of all this is, my hate for cooking generally overriddes my love of bacon. If I can get by with heating a can of His Dintyness, I'm good, bacon or no bacon. And if I have the choice of eating a can of Stewy Goodness sans bacon or garlic, or cooking, I'll take the Plain Can o' Dinty every time.

Plus, you're all going to look like fools come the rapture when Bailey and I have jars of bacon bits in our bug out bags and you only have crappy MREs.

EXACTLY! Who's gonna have man card issues then? Huh? Huh?

Thanks for watching my six on this, Sturtle.

OK. You win. You can eat bacon bits and still be cool.
