"Ill get right to the good stuff: for the entire month of February, 2009, I, Michael J. Nelson will eat nothing but bacon. Nothing, my friends, but bacon.
Why? Because bacon is natures finest and most nourishing food. Also, because several doubters on the RiffTrax staff had the unmitigated gall to insult bacon by making the outrageous claim that, as good as it is, no one could eat very much of it and live. I can and will. Therefore I will spend the month proving it.
And I invite any and all of you to join me in my quest. If you do, Ill certainly share your stories and blog posts.
Now for the fine print: Bacon shall hereafter refer to the cured and smoked fatty cuts of pork, either back, side or belly. In other words American bacon. No Canadian bacon, which is really just lunchmeat. No pork chops. No turkey bacon. No tofacon or any such horror. Just bacon.
No condiments allowed. No syrups, or hot sauces, or pureed vegetables in the form of ketchup. No sauces at all. Just natures finest bacon, all by its dignified self.
I am making allowances for the following beverages: beer, wine, martinis and water. No juices, no V8, nothing that could be construed as healthy. This is somewhat arbitrary, I grant you, but one bit of madness at a time, is my reasoning.
I will post as often as is practical and include pictures of my bacons (if you have any favorites and want to send them my way, please do. The photo is of my first batch, Jimmy Dean, but I have on order a nice slab of Niemans Ranch and some Nueskes as well. And tomorrow Ill make a trip to Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad for some of their fine in-house bacon.) You will just have to take my word that I will not cheat. As it is, I am a fairly committed carnivore and havent the slightest doubt that I can do it without difficulty, but I can understand if youre dubious about my success. Rest assured that I would never sully the good name of bacon by cheating.
