I've got two wonderful quotes about bacon, both of which I got in line at sumptuous brunch buffets.
"Bacon - the candy bar of meat."
"Bacon - it's the gateway meat." (I had to ask what that meant, and was told that for a vegetarian, it's always bacon that is the gateway meat back into a omnivorous diet.)
Hey, at least you got to work off all of those extra calories from the bacon and eggs!
