My roommate and I have been thinking about making this thing. But I want to ask somebody who has eaten it, how long after consumption do I need to expect a colon explosion?

:shrug:


Like I mentioned earlier, mine wasn't really greasy. Nor did I have any problems with indigestion the night we cooked it or the night I had the leftovers. Been watching my weight, trying to knock off a few pounds and though I hadn't dropped any significant weight during the time that I had this, I didn't gain either.

I would imagin the mexican buffet I had for lunch today was more for ruining the diet and indigestion issues that the Bacon Explosion did.


FWIW, I added up the calories in the ingredients I used (obtaining calorie counts from packages were possible, estimates from the net on others - I also used cheese which is added in), came to an estimated total of about 4,200 calories for the entire log, about 3,000 total fat calories per log. My sausage role was approximately 10 inches long after cooking. Cut into 1 inch slices (10 servings) each 1 inch slice would be 420 calories with 300 calories from fat. A 1/2 inch slice would be 210 calories with 150 calories from fat.

'Course keep in mind that this was cooked on a smoker, not fried in a pan of grease, so I would assume that some of the fat had to of dripped off.

Going to try this reciepe this weekend for the Super Bowl. Going to add in some cheese and take some of Pastor's ideas too.

I'm making it as well. Adding onions and red peppers. No cheese.

I would like to try this but I dont think theres anywhere close I can find bacon that "wide".

widebacon.com

I just went into the local grocery store, looked through their packages of thick sliced bacon and got two of the widest cut 1.5 lb packages they had.

I showed this to a guy at my work around Xmas and then on my Bday on 1/21 he brought one in.

It was pretty shitty. It was like 1/4 of the size the recipe said and he fried it. Then brought it to work the next day, nuked it and then doused it w/ BBQ sauce.

It tasted like Bacon w/ BBQ sauce on it.

I wouldn't mind trying a slice of the real thing.

Not cool man. Try the real thing.

Looks like it made KMBC channel 9s telecast
just did a promo for it

No kidding.

This thing's WORTH buying a smoker for!:thumb:

:)

Looks good, but bet i'd die of a heart attack before I could consume it all.

I was at a party the other night, and it was really loud, and I have trouble hearing in the midst of loud crowds. Some server came around with hors d'ouvres (sp?) and it was this little oval thing that had a bunch of gooey looking red sauce on it, and I had no idea what it was. I asked her and she said something, but I couldn't hear a word of it, so I took one and popped it in my mouth.

It was absolutely delicious, but I still couldn't identify what it was. It was bacon-wrapped, but that was all I could discern. Whatever was wrapped had a unique flavor and was slightly juicy, and the sauce was a delicious flavor reminiscent of Chinese food.

Later, when the noise died down, someone mentioned the great hors d'ouvres (sp?) and I described what I ate and asked about it. Apparently it was bacon-wrapped fig in some sort of ginger barbecue sauce.

Man, that was good. If I had known what it was, I probably wouldn't have even tried it since I typically don't like fig.

Tried a very small one last week in the broiler.
Went perfct :thumb:

Getting the things for a jumbo sized one this weekend.

Congrats to the creators getting into the paper! The KCBS lady didn't give them much credit, but that doesn't matter.
