Served with the rib spreaders on the side

We (mostly Lea) have amassed a lengthy and varied repertoire of reasonably good-for-us dinners.  Lea will plan our menu a month in advance, and it’s a lot easier to remain sustainedly interested in eating correctly.

So my worst sins of consumption are generally not committed at home.  However, I’ve blogged before about a highly fattening meal we enjoy a couple of times a year, and it’s always been difficult for me to imagine eating something worse.

That was, until I read about the Bacon Explosion.  I think this is the most ridiculously unhealthy single food item I’ve ever seen.  How about two pounds of bacon pinwheeled through and woven around two pounds of Italian sausage?

Here it is in the smoker, to give you a better idea of how it’s put together:

Fortunately this stands no chance of any regular appearance at our house, however infrequent, because Lea’s not crazy about Italian sausage.  Plus, we don’t currently have a smoker.  You know, I was going to say I’d ask a buddy to make one just so I could try it, but that’s foolish.  I’m certain it’s delicious.  I should probably remain ignorant of just how delicious.

  1. Wow. The minds boggles at just how awful a person will feel after having some of THAT. Of course, show me a decadent chocolate cake with all the bells and whistles and then hold ME back.

  2. Greg: Should you ever again run for public office, I believe you have your slogan.

    Jenny: Yeah…almost primal, innit? 🙂

    O’Mama: You could probably eat a “serving” (deck of cards guideline, you know) and be fine. But who would stop there?

    Someone commenting at the original post demanded to know why no one had thought to bread and deep-fry it.

  3. I’m surprised that Sonic hasn’t put that on the menu yet. They could shove it in a wrap with tots and pour cheese over it. Then it would be perfect.

  4. I had to sub out the Italian sausage, as Lea isn’t a fan. So we’re going with a breakfast sausage/ground beef mix in the center. I’ll save ya a slice if’n ya want. 😉
