Bacon's New Sizzle
Aleta Watson of the Mercury News, on how bacon is even more popular than ever: "The attraction of bacon is virtually universal, suggests Bay Area cookbook author and food consultant Bruce Aidells, who notes that the tantalizing aromas and savory flavors touch something deep in our core. "I think bacon is essentially the meat lover's version of chocolate," he says. "It does the same thing to people." Good-quality bacon brings so much to a dish that even diet-conscious cooks often are willing to trade the higher fat content for increased satisfaction at the table. Chefs note that the mention of bacon in the menu description of a dish tends to draw more orders."

Another pork candy for meat lovers (at least in Spain) is spanish "iberico ham", especially when it comes from pigs that are fed with acorns and grasses, and raised in the wild. It is to meat what oysters are to fish (both in quality and prize)... yummy yummy
