    please post pic/recipe for that because I'm down for cooking that.

    is your bacon jam basically a standard jam w/ bacon fat added?

    I made a kick-*** bread pudding last month with my cooking club. It was with ciabatta bread into cubes and enough custard that some bits would stick out and become really crispy and the rest would be submerged and be all-gooey. It had dark chocolate chunks all throughout. When done in the over a sauce was put over - the sauce was raspberries, sugar and red wine brought to a boil.

    It was unreal and is somewhat on topic because of the gluttony.

      It's not really a jam per se, it's more along the lines of pate or potted meat, only with bacon. You basically cook down about a pound of bacon (cut into pieces) with onions, garlic, whatever other seasonings you want, brown sugar, and water. you basically just reduce it and continue adding water until the bacon is cooked down to its essence -- throw it all in a food processor for a zip and then you've got yourself some spreadable bacon.

      I came up with about 30 uses for it in my staff meeting today haha... productive meeting! I'm planning bacon jam + apples + toasted pecans inside those Bacon Rolls then I'll hit it with a maple glaze... ooh yeah. Everything from fritters to pesto to ice cream is in consideration. I'll post pics here for you guys (well, maybe not in this thread unless it's still going by then).

      Here's the recipe I'm working off of: http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/...ams-come-true/

      I'm making one of them savory with onions, spices, garlic, etc., and another one that will be basically just unflavored bacon spread to use in sweet things.

        that sounds great. One of the best combinations in life is bacon, butter and maple syrup. A good croissant stuffed with that and fontina cheese could be pretty awesome, maybe a maple glaze on top.

        damn..i just ate, and now I wanna go eat a whole pile of bacon!

          Re: KFC Double Down Chicken Sandwich

          Heh, I was thinking about how epic a tart would be with this stuff... Like spread it with a mushroom duxelle, then the bacon jam, then fontina (glad someone else is feeling Fontina.. one of the best melting cheeses around)... top with blanched asparagus spears and a sherry vinegar reduction.

          The potential for sandwiches is just massive though. You can do the "Elvis" without a bunch of calories.. spread of bacon jam, spread of PB. There's a restaurant nearby that does a salmon BLT with a bacon jam.

          Also: BACON-FENNEL BISCUITS... the possibilities are endless. Good ol' bacon, you truly are magical.

            Stumble's bacon meat spread does sound awesome, but I'm gonna give my review on the Double Down. HATED IT. I got the grilled version and it was not good. I love KFC and I love chicken even more. I eat chicken for about 75% of my meals. But I did not like it and I'm not sure why. Just didn't taste right to me. Ok, I'm off to make a bacon spread.

                curious why you went with grilled. Do you always get kfc chicken grilled? When I rarely go there I always get some type of fried chicken because that's the whole point to me. I don't think they have this in Canada for some reason, but if they get it for a while I'm going all out with the fried version. Otherwise I don't see the point...It'd be like getting a double burger without the buns w/ cheese and bacon in the middle.

                  I don't usually get the grilled, but I'm beginning my workout/diet starting next week, so I thought I'd try to go a little healthier. I dunno, I don't think I would've liked the fried either. I love both grilled and fried chicken at KFC, but I didn't like the double down. I dunno.

                    The bacon jam is ridiculous, basically... had to stop myself from just eating it because I didn't make enough to waste it by the spoonful. Gonna be serious on a tart tonight, I'll take pics.

                        Had one tonight, wouldn't recommend it. I don't feel very good at all after eating it. Just feel kinda blah. Could also be the famous bowl I ate after it.

                            This is the absolutely WORST thread you can read when it's lunch time and you're completely starving! I am soooooooo hungry right now.

                            I also have to join the "I Hate Mayonaise" club. I can't stand the stuff. Ironically, I don't mind Mayonaise in things like salad dressings, or the southwest sauce at Subway, but mayonaise straight up makes me vomit. As does the special sauces at Burger King, McDonalds, KFC, etc. etc. It's the combination of the texture and the flavor of mayonaise that makes me want to hurl. As a result, I won't eat potato salad, coleslaw, or any other "salad" type thing that relies on straight up mayonaise. I'd rather eat my own Fromunda Cheese.

                            I want to go get some chicken nuggets and french fries and dip them in some buttermilk ranch dressing right now................

                              Had one. Didn't like it at all. The sauce and the cheese killed it for me.
