My word!

Gosh, is it really two and a half months since I wrote anything? How time flies by! Well I've just had a most splendid holiday; far, far, away, in the land of the Baconator. Half the story can be read here the rest will be coming here soon... It will please you all to know that I got my Baconator. Mmmmm bacon.... it was, like, you know, like, totally awesome, and Antonia was, like, Oh My God, thats, like, totally gross! but I was like, you know, no waayyyy! like it is soooo totally, like, not gross, it's mommy-frickin' AWESOME!



Esme is just off to sleep, so I'll have to keep you all in suspense just a little longer,

pip, pip, y'all,

I.

Aha! Hello again. Sounds like you have assimilated into the USA well. Now all you have to do is work "all up in my grill" into a sentence at your place of employment.

I can't bring myself to google 'baconator' for I am afraid of what I might find.

I knew it! I suspect you are so excited by the Baconator because Brits really do boil bacon- even the rashers.... you had to cross an ocean to get crunchy bacon, didn't you!

Dude. Glad you got your fix:)

I did google "baconator" and I got a site which suggests that the baconator is so so manly that even Chuck Norris wouldn't be able to finish one. So Ian must be like so totally awesome! rly!

Warnings about the Baconator - Although the source for this does seem to be a man known as "Mr Baconpants" so take from that what you will.

@ephelba:

I have never boiled bacon and neither has my wife* so I refute your allegation and put it to you that all Americans deep-fry entire turkeys on a regular basis. Fifteen all.

*actually I'd better check that...

I thought they only did that in Alabama? In between riding round in white pointy hats and lynching black people ;-)

No, we don't boil bacon - crunchy bacon is the norm, especially if its streaky bacon. We drink it with our warm beer.

Alex Andronov said...

'mericans get very confused by back bacon it seems... I think they only have streaky. And often, I might add, 'merican bacon is brittle.

Rowan said...

is what they call ham what we call back bacon?

v confusing. two countries separated by a common language indeed!

Alex Andronov said...

I think only Ian can help us. He has recently been in the country in which people have back perhaps mainly because they don't have access to back (bacon).

So the famous and wonderful "Baby's Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot was actually a quasi-political side-swipe about the lack of availability of imported British cured meat product in the United States due to an antiquated quota system dating back to the War Of Independence? I think we should be told.

Yeah, that and babies
