Bacon Explosion (gross)

In an era of gotta have the latest and greatest (although I'm still hearing the same damn tired songs on the radio ad nauseam) there is a new way to feed the masses.  Perhaps you've grown tired of the Thanksgiving Turkey or Christmas Ham.  There is a solution that is sure to give your dinner guests a heart attack treat.

Behold, the Bacon Explosion.  A lattice of Bacon stuffed with Italian sausage and thickly coated with BBQ sauce.  Although most would fancy the Original Blend, the options of Jalapeno and Cheddar Cheese are available.  A full sized explosion will feed 12 normal sized people (circa 1965) or 1 large person (typical consumer of a bacon and sausage log?). 

The Bacon Explosion will set you back $30 and it is shipped directly to your house.  Let's be honest here, if you would consume a bacon sausage log donning a moomoo and  leaving the house is simply too much  of an inconvenience.  Could you imagine opening your door and finding a a dry ice filled box with a bacon cocoon?!?  What a wonderful treat!  Amidst my disgust I would actually like to try one.

Visit the Bacon Explosion site for ordering, and much to my international readers chagrin this product is only available in the U.S. Agreed, I'm not surprised either.   

P.S. The Bacon Explosion is one of the few products that looks the same prior to and after consumption.

Taco Bell Burrito Wrapped in Bacon and Sausage

Many moons ago a lonely chef decided it was a good idea to take a bunch of crap sitting around the kitchen and roll it into a single entree.  The burrito gyro Big Mac Wrap Chicken Cordon Blue was born and has been the bane of every business meeting and hotel wedding I have ever attended. I genuinely think ham, breaded chicken, and gooey sauce were never meant to inhabit the same plate let alone wrapped together. 

The modern retelling of this tale is created with the Hot Pocket a concoction of a Taco Bell burrito encapsulated by a breakfast sausage and then jacketed in bacon.  This fine dining blue plate special has been affectionately dubbed The Fattie.  Where did that name come from?  Perhaps the owner named it after his own stature because there is no way in hell such a thing could have been invented by anyone that dares to live past 50.

I must admit that although I'm thoroughly disgusted, if I were to gaze upon a fattie at a party I would certainly try a piece.  The difficult part is wrapping my mind around the creativity and effort that went into making a Taco Bell burrito even more unhealthy.

Alas, there are several breeds of fatties and lo and behold there is even a dessert fattie.  Why?  Well, after consuming the taco bell fattie, and taking 10 years off your life the next logical step would be to eat a dessert wrapped in bacon and sausage.

Doesn't that look yummy!  If you look closely you can see the diabetes wrapped inside!  If you would like to know more about this creations visit The Smoking Meat Forums.
