Friends of Irony: I love fishing for cows

Meat Team friend EvilAgent sent us a series of links to Friends of Irony, a project of the evil geniuses behind the Cheezburger empire. We can’t even pick a favorite, but we thought this one was delightfully meatblog worthy so we decided to share it with you.

Thanks to BaconToday I finally remembered to post the video of Jon Stewart tasting Baconnaise on the Daily Show on February 25th. Additionally, you now have a step-by-step recipe for Bacon Mayo, should you feel the need to make bacon mayo in the comfort of your own home.

This Shouts & Murmurs column from last year makes me laugh. Fourteen Passive-Aggressive Appetizers:

1. Top thick slices of country bread with fresh goat cheese. Sprinkle with herbs and bake until crusty; serve to everyone but Jeff.

You should read the whole thing since the various items aren’t as funny without their context, but I’ll point out item #8 since it has meatblog significance, although I’ll state for the record no one from the meatblog would do something like this, particularly the vegetarians.

8. Another one for the vegetarians. If they think they like tofu, wait until they sample your delicious mock tofu—all you need is chicken fat, puréed pork loin, and five cups of piping-hot tallow. Cheryl will never know the difference.

Why do we have vegetarian meatbloggers, anyway? That’s a question for another day…

The Linkmeister dropped me a line to let me know where he first ran across mention of BaconCamp, which we posted about yesterday.

This led me to realize that we’ve never posted about Scalzi’s Law, which I’m pretty sure the Linkmeister has told me about before. I had BaconCat bookmarked, at any rate, so I’m going to assume that he sent it to me and give him all the credit. I wouldn’t want to deprive Linky of the fame and fortune that comes with being a frequent meatblog contributer.

But I digress. Scalzi’s Law is explained thusly on sci-fi writer John Scalzi’s Canonical Bacon Page:

Any conversation on the internet will eventually include bacon in some way. And then be forwarded immediately to John Scalzi.

This all apparently came about just because he taped bacon to his cat one day. The rest, as they say, is bacon history. I don’t know if they really say that, but they should.

Eric shared this delightfully demented Wendy’s training video with Samer and I over a tasty dinner from the Taqueria Poblano.

I don’t believe that any of us will be sleeping well for a while after watching this. On that note, happy new year and enjoy!

Every earthy mother wants to eat her placenta but when the time comes, so much energy is exerted passing a child through the birth canal that preparing a delicious meal is 3rd or 4th on the list of things to do after “squeezing one out”. Preparing fresh placenta is also a big concern and true placentaphagist balk at the eating of placenta in anything other than it’s natural state. Having said that there are several recipes that make the meal more appetising for new mothers and with “No Bake” noodles all the rage in the pasta world - how can you go wrong with Placenta Lasagna. Just remember fresh is key.

The Grateful Palate has many, many amazing bacony, meaty goodnesses to discover.  I couldn’t possibly cover them all in one post, so for my first foray into the amazing meat goodness that is The Grateful Palate, I have determined that you must know about the bacon butter dish.  What says greasy, meaty, and all around animal product goodness than the combo of bacon and butter?  Hell, my regular morning breakfast is eggs cooked in butter and bacon sizzled in the cast iron skillet along side.

So really, what  better way to honor the fine fine creation from the milk of animal flesh that is butter –in all it’s creamy delicious trans-fat free wonder, than to lay it out on a beautifully crafted ceramic slice of of delicious, smoked, fatty, sizzled (also trans-fat free) pork that is known to the common man simply as “bacon.”  The synergy is off the charts.

Look closely, my friends, there is simply no end to the ways that gorgeous meat products enter our lives and improve them for the better.  Especially bacon. Yes.  Bacon rules the meat kingdom.  Just keep that information to yourself.

Easyjo has created a house of meat. He then went on to create a ship of meat (with pirates). Good job!!!
