Great, great podcast. To misquote an old Katy Perry song, I’ve eaten horse, and I liked it. I was in Bratislava eating a brisket sandwich when the proprietor confided that I was eating horse…and that it probably came from America. Wowzers! That insight realy opened my eyes. Overly industrialized/coddled cultures like the US and UK demonize the practice because we have humanized Old MacDonald and all of his farm animals…when in fact it wasn’t that long ago that our ancestors had to make use of every part of the animal. (I suppose you can tell a lot about a culture by the way it thinks about pickling.) Right now there’s a whole lot of waste…one UK report said the average consumer wastes twice as much water in the way they consume food than the total amount they drink and bathe in.
Anyone else smell bacon?
Call me when we get to Human Bacon. It’s only a matter of time.
Bacon, it’s the new bacon! Bacon, it’s the new butter! Bacon, it’s the new 30! What comes to mind is an old New York Times article by veteran political writer, R.W. Apple who was a serious bacon lover. I wonder what he would have said about this bacon podcast?
