Ummmm...what?

Is this stuff Kosher?


LOL

I'm pretty sure I'd rather have bacon.

Geez--this is a new one on me! Not even a post from Cesare! Anyone have any idea about this stuff?

Shouldn't this be a "launch?"

Bacon I can spread on crackers? that sounds to go to be true!

N0. Way.

At first I thought, "what would you do with that?" Then I came to my senses and thought, "What WOULDN'T you!"

Bacon. Awesome.

Woot! finally sells a bacon product with actual bacon in it!

Edit: I deleted the nutritional info and ingredients because they were listed in the description, but I got a quality post for them, so I am putting them back.

Reviews on Amazon aren't bad. http://www.amazon.com/Skillet-Food-Products-Bacon-Spread/dp/B004XZI4TM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1332281035&sr=8-2

75% fat? At least it's not 100%.

What exactly is the fascination with fennel? Just because something is now trendy does not make it good. It seems like every time you go to a decent restaurant they're touting the awesome taste of fennel. Fennel is not awesome. If I wanted to eat something that tastes like licorice I would eat some licorice.
/rant

So is this a Syrah concentrate? I mean this is wine.woot, right?

OK, enough of the non-wine stuff, already - I want wine, please.

in the main review section on amazon, there's a really long review that gives a ton of great info and actually got me to be in for a wine.woot purchase today! and comparatively, this appears to be a great deal. i can't wait to baconize my next grilled cheese...

With all the added sodium, phosphate, and nitrates plus soy lecithin is all I need to know to stay far away.

sausages and pepperoni are laden with fennel (and have been for centuries) and do not taste like licorice. i agree that fennel does not belong in everything, but when it is used well, it really enhances meaty flavors...

Bacon, Bacon, Bacon!

Yeah, I just went to go price check it my own self.

Oops. You're right. Here's the more bulked up review version: http://www.amazon.com/Skillet-Bacon-Jam-Spread-0z/dp/B003ZWV5Z4/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1332281376&sr=1-1

+1... No, make that +100!!!

We've seen more home.woot or food.woot items than wine.woot items. Either wine.woots buyers are having a really hard time or someone changed the definition of wine. (yes, a bit of a repeated rant...)

For me, the presence of sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrate takes it out of the "gourmet" category. Apparently wine.woot offers both gourmet and non-gourmet items.

We like to mix it up around here.

Could this be a sort of intervention for those of us who see the wonderful wine offerings and waffle, debate, rationalize until we hit the big gold button and wonder what is coming up next? I look at this as an interesting detour until the next purchasing conundrum appears. Enjoy the calm before the storm.

"Batter up...

I believe my point has just been made! ;-)

this is easily one of my favorite redneck foodie items. Grilled cheese , Egg sandwiches, soups all get the pow of bacon. Ice cream turns epic. The fact you get 2 for the price is even cooler

in for 3

Which is why I read the label before purchasing. I do not enjoy any amount of fennel in my food. Seriously though, this stuff is everywhere now and it's like someone has discovered a beautiful new type of gem and everyone has to have it. Mark my words, cinnamon will be next.

I am not a fan of anise-flavored stuff in general, but you are right that there are places for it. I love Italian sausage, and it is the fennel that defines it.

Tarragon also has that anise flavor I don't like, but I adore Bearnaise, and my mother's chicken salad wouldn't he the same without it. It all depends on how much is used and what it's used with.

The amazon description says "Made from Uncured Bacon, No Nitrite or Nitrates added. Made from Uncured Bacon, No Nitrite or Nitrates added."

And the previously mentioned Amazon comment says "Ingredients: Uncured bacon, no nitrite or nitrate added except those naturally occuring in Celery Powder (pork prepared with: water, salt, turbinado sugar, celery powder, lactic acid, starter culture (not from milk), Onion, Balsamic vinegar (organic wine vinegar [from juice of organic grapes]; organic, concentrated grape must; organic caramel sugar), Brown Sugar (sugar, invert sugar, cane molasses), Water, Salt, Pepper."

Which is it Woot?

Edit: I guess the one on Amazon is "Bacon jam bacon spread" Why ruin a good thing with nasty preservatives?

ah, but cinnamon is truly good in just about anything... <;)

I don't *drink* wine. I do, however, consume spreads, vinegars/oils, and chocolates, as well as using chill rocks and other fancy wine-ish accessories.

*fist bump to woot*

ummmm...those quotes both say the same thing about no added nitrites/nitrates... <;]

They can't ship wine to my state, but they can ship other things. Like bacon spread. And mushrooms. Those dried porcini I ordered from wine.woot have been awesome.

yeah, but it kind looks like all you buy is crap, so I think I'm in for one.

Only 7 oz. jars? The jars on the official website appear to be all 10.5 or 11 oz.

Not as great a deal in terms of dollar per ounce of bacon.

Please tell me how to get to food.woot is there a secret link?

The skillet truck is a hit in Seattle but I always find them to be a bit overpriced so I am happy to see the bacon jam on a woot deal, in for 2.

yeah, we all have flavors that we dislike; for example, i think oregano is nearly always overdone, and when i cook at home, i substitute marjoram because it's less potent. and i also am not a big fan of tarragon, though, like you, i do enjoy it in bearnaise.
