Report on peanut butter-banana-bacon sandwiches
Pursuant to http://www.viruscomix.com/page500.html, which was in the #cslounge topic recently:
Having bacon in the fridge, peanut butter, and one banana which needed eating, I decided to make the sandwich named in one of the panels of the comic. I have come to the conclusion that, while it does not take anything away, bacon adds far less to the sandwich than to the effort to produce the sandwich. On the other hand, since our bacon is mostly fat and I burned half of it, this may be because I also fried the (rather sad) banana in the bacon grease, because I couldn't let it go to waste. Additionally, I found that the part of the bacon which was not burned did, in fact, add a noticeable difference in taste, whereas the burned part did not. I suspect the real problem is that banana and peanut butter are both relatively strong flavors, especially when the latter has been fried, so they simply smothered the bacon taste.
My final appraisal is that it was delicious, I would eat it again, and I think it is generally too much work for the result.
However, it was most certainly delicious, and anyone who thinks otherwise is weird. ;-)
