I try my best to eat as clean as possible...most of the time, in fact, I was almost vegetarian the entire week, reminding myself that I am doing this for myself and the animals of the world. lol. Talk about OTT. But mostly because I didn't feel like eating heavy meats. There's the occasional clam and ikan bilis (anchovies) in my fried meehoon but I figured it was fine.
Eating vegetarian, as you might have guessed, is not exactly very filling and you get hungry like only the whole day after that so, some days I give myself permission to just pig out. Literally. And my favorite way to pig out is....bacon. Pun intended.
It is so versatile that you can eat it just like that or add it to fried rice or pizza or just fix yourself a nice little sandwich with bacon and Tabasco sauce and O....M....G....
Of course, I know it's fattening but it is one of the very few guilty pleasures that I sometimes let myself have...and trust me, there are not too many on the list.
But did you know that bacon wasn't 'born' in the West...but in China? And during some emperor times or something? Did you also know that 43% of people reportedly prefer to have bacon over sex? Or that some compounds in bacon can boost the 'potential intellect' of unborn babies when taken by pregnant mothers?
I sure didn't. All I knew was that it is delicious and that it is one of my most sinful behaviors from the kitchen.
Here are 17 fun facts about bacon from Bacontoday.com.
So, bacon, anyone?
Love,
