Today's deep thought.

Is bacon a condiment?

Discuss.

I don't think so.

Would one have a "mustard supper" or a "mayonnaise supper"? No.

However I remember fondly all of the bacon suppers I've had.

I say it is only if its been "bitted"

Guess it qualifies as a condiment, but I prefer to use the phrase "bacon is the meat's own spice" ;-)

I think bacon implements condiment and meat, like ketchup (after the early 1980s) implements condiment and vegetable.

What does implement implement?

[swestrup]

That would be caffeine.

This question is too deep or too silly for me, I'm not sure which.

And here I was certain that it was the metawidget question par excellence ;).

Yes.

Hmmm. Are there more of these then? Whats both

A) A Beer and a Condiment? (Marmite???)
B) Desert and a Condiment?
C) Eggs and a Condiment?
...
And so on?

B) Sprinkles!

C) The glaze they put on pastries.

t!

B) Ice cream (alone vs. à la mode)
C) Mayonnaise

On reflection, if that is your deep thought, I would hate to meet your shallow ones!

An unfortunate interaction of schedules necessitated me waking up with only 5 hours sleep. No good. Especially when today's plan was to be thinking clearly for writing a business proposal.

Said interaction of schedules also turned out to be false, as stuff got canceled at the last minute.

Methinks that maybe I should go back to bed for a bit, if Bacon really is the deepest I can think right now...

nein, non, no... and so on.

I would venture a yes...

It can be...if it placed on top of a burger (anyone remember The Habitant on Sherbrooke St and their deliciously carcinogenic "Braveburger"??)

I would say also as bits in a salad, but not the kind that comes in a bottle that's just yuk...

And since, I am now prone to order a "BLT sans B", I am hopeful that it is ONLY a condiment that is missing :(

Re: I would venture a yes...

[hendrikboom.livejournal.com]

The kind that comes in a bottle isn't bacon. It;s just bacon flavoured. Might it even be vegetarian?

Re: I would venture a yes...

[rosy1.livejournal.com]

I think it might be pure sodium.

...I must say when I saw it was you commenting I thought -- ah, Hendrik would remember the old Habitat with the flames reaching the ceiling and burgers on the grill... ;(

Hee - don't ask me. I'm the kind of person who will open a new jar of corn relish and devour it.

Silly, condimentary hugs,
