Now here's a product that really fills a need.

Kosher bacon salt. No fooling.

Bacon Salt: You won't believe it's not bacon | Life | Idaho Statesman

"A few months ago, Esch and Lefkow got an e-mail from a marine in Iraq. Because it's a Muslim country, pork products are not readily available. Esch and Lefkow sent over some Bacon Salt. The marine e-mailed his thanks: "The smell and taste of bacon can make any unrecognizable, chow hall meal taste as good as the Last Supper."

The company since launched "Operation Bacon Salt," and if you or your loved ones are stationed in Afghanistan or Iraq, Esch and Lefkow will send the product over at a 50 percent discount. Now that's what we call bringing home the bacon. "

Is this a great country, or what?

That might be good on some scrambled eggs.

Or, bacon salt on some S-O-S.

How about some ham-flavored spices?

I'm sure the SOS reference went right over the head of those whippersnappers around here.

Hint: "any unrecognizable, chow hall meal".

Creamed chipped beef on toast. It made the US troops so annoyed that they would go fight the Germans so that they could go home to real food. See also "Spam".

All they had at Albertsons was the "peppered" variety but this should work on cottage fries tonight. The ingredients list is too long to transcribe but it does include neat stuff like palm oil, sand (silicon dioxide), milk, and ethyl alcohol. Won't the last two have an impact on kosher and halal status? I would think putting milk onto meat would violate kosher status, although the package is stamped with a "square K" symbol and states "kosher-certified".

See Bacon Salt according to the bottle.

I'm far from an expert but I think the product--by itself--can be kosher. But, of course, it's "mis-use" would then render the final food product un-kosher.

For example, you can have kosher meat and kosher milk sitting together on a table--just don't prepare/serve them together in the same dish.

Same with the bacon salt. Alone it's kosher. Add it to a potato, you're good. Add it to a burger, you've got a problem.

This stuff would be great if it didn't have MSG. Why do they have to put this junk in everything. I'm allergic, gives me migraines.

I was all set to order some until I read the ingredients.

Typical chemical concoction from the food industry. Some natural ingredients, plenty of artificial ones. I'll pass. Plenty of real food to choose from.

Re: Kosher bacon salt now on sale

You know, I didn't know much about MSG other than it gives me migraines and that it's something to avoid. Someone had once said that it's a naturally occurring substance. Stan's post with "Chemical concoction" in it made me research some more.

It appears it is naturally occurring but was isolated in 1907 and was patented by the Japanese Ajinomoto Corporation in 1909.

I also found this article, it claims a link between MSG and obesity. I have always though there is a link between HFCS and obesity, but not sure about the MSG link. If that were the case, why isn't obesity an issue in Asia where they must consume a large amount of this stuff.

MSG - The Slow Poisoning Of America MSG Hides Behind 25+ Names, Such As 'Natural Flavouring' MSG Is Also In Your Favorite Coffee Shops And Drive-Ups

I'm not a health nut by any means but I know that MSG and HFCS don't work for me.

And to learn that there are lobbyists specific for MSG is pretty scary. And without any other research, the cheeseburger bill spoken about in the article is equally as scary.

A doctor once explained to me the appeal of MSG to food producers. He said if a soup recipe calls for 10 chickens, it would call for 1 chicken and a whole load of MSG if used. Which do you think is cheaper.

On the flip side it was interesting reading the msgfacts website which is sponsored by The Glutamate Association in Washington, DC was equally as interesting.
