I did a bad bad thing

I've had this idea kicking around in my head. It's one of those things you're not supposed to listen to lest you wind up committed or at least with some kind of mark on your person that warns other people "this person is not well".

So you know scotch eggs right? Take a hard boiled egg, coat it in sausage, deep fry it. It's fairly horrifying.

Well, why not make a dessert version of it.

WHY NOT

Bacon Sausage

Got a food grinder accessory for the kitchenaid today. So what do you do to break in a food grinder?





So now I've got a pile of ground up bacon. Which smells ...very very bacony.

Welp.

This is your heart.


This is your heart on a lot of bacon.





At this point I feel pretty sick. But Nick tried them.



and is delighted. It's very intensely bacony, with a crisp outside and a chewy inside. I would not eat these on a regular basis. If ever again.

I think we're going to mix the ground bacon into hamburger meat. my other idea is to mix with a touch of maple syrup and cook these into thin disks and put them in the middle of pancakes.

I kind of want to die now.
