#F-D: New York Greenmarket includes several farmers from VT/NH (which can in some cases be closer than upstate New York), so I’d assume it is the same farmer and not a ripoff. (If you really care, I can ask my SO, who works for Greenmarket and is actually at this very moment buying aforementioned bacon for an experiment in bacon toffee.)

I never realized how much the Union Square subway entrance looks like a flying saucer on stilts. (The distant one in this photo.)

Why would a flying saucer need stilts?

Ok, now that I’ve read all this glowing praise for their bacon, I will final have to bite the bullet and buy some. Thanks, Whatever commenters. You guys are not helping the plaque build up in my arteries.

Another Manhattanite who loves that Greenmarket chiming in to say that those guys make the best bacon I’ve ever had.

No lie. The best I’ve ever had. It’s sooooooooooooo good. But they’ve been sold out every time I’ve been there in months. :-(

oh, no, here I go again…
bacon envy and that bastion of all Southern breakfast food, Waffle House, is just down the street…

going to bed, hopefully the feeling will pass by morning. Otherwise, MickeyD’s has a 2/1 special on the bacon, egg & cheese biscuts going on this month.

Just stop in and see Rev. Billy at the Church of Stop Shopping. He can do the exorcism.

It used to have a 3-D element:

Trufax, the way to a (non-vegetarian, non-kosher, non-halal) man’s heart is bacon.

Especially if you layer several stacks of crispy bacon together and sharpen the edge, but that’s kind of a waste of bacon, isn’t it?

Jeff Hentoz:
Better than sausage acupuncture!

The more I read that, the dirtier that gets.

“Just lay down here while I poke you with my sausage in several different parts of your body…it’s really quite relaxing…wait, where are you going? I assure you, I am fully licensed and insured!!!”

Mary Robinette Kowal:
As one vegetarian to another, I feel your pain. Bacon is my bete noir, my nemesis and my abandoned true love. There’s a local arts and crafts gallery here in Asheville created out of an old Woolworths, only they kept the diner counter for that funky, Bohemian-Asheville atmosphere. They apparently do many lovely things with bacon, because the whole building is almost always heart-stoppingly redolent with OMG BACONNNNN!!! I browse there often (for the art, mostly) and it’s like being an abstemious Vampire in a slaughterhouse.

One of these days, something very strained and fragile in my head is going to go *ping* and an entire pig’s worth of the Divine Protein will get sucked down into the yawning, bacon-tuned black hole that will be thusly birthed.
