no, but it sounds horrible though

I do not understand the Internet's obsession with bacon, it's not even that nice. Sausages are much better.

>>3827

Mmm, need to make a batch of sweet potato & sausage soup again soon.

Few things better, on a cold & hungry day.

Bacon is the ultimate tease food. It always smells like the nicest thing ever, but only occasionally tastes like it.

So it's carbonara?

>>3830

You've been making a very strange type of Carbonara if you think it's like bacon flavoured mayonnaise.

>>3831

Egg, bacon and a squeeze of lemon? I'm not far off, am I?

Make it with cream and it looks the same, too.

>>3832

That sounds like an abomination of a carbonara. Please don't feed anyone that.

>>3832
I'm never eating your carbonara.

There are usually pancetta cubes or some other kind of pork in whatever I eat with carbonara, which is probably what >>3830 is thinking of.

>>3833
>>3834

Do none of you know how to make a proper carbonara? My god. I respond to your disgust with my own, assuming that your carbonaras are some ungodly mixture of cream and ham and despair.

>>3836

I get where you are coming from, of course, but the sheer volume of oil which joins the yolks in a mayonnaise and the amount of parmesan which goes into a carbonara is enough of a difference to make it like comparing apples and oranges.

>>3836

Also, is that a raw egg yolk sitting on top of dry pasta? WHAT THE FUCK TYPE OF CARBONARA ARE YOU MAKING, LAD?

>>3837

Yeah, alright. I thought my joke might not go down well in a pedant pit such as this, but I did it anyway.

>>3838

What do you mean 'dry' pasta? It's cooked, if that's what you mean.

The yolk is to be mixed in before eating. The type of carbonara I happen to be making is an authentic, proper carbonara. I suggest you never order one in Italy or indeed a proper restaurant if you cannot handle it.

>>3840

I don't think many people wait until the pasta is in the bowl to mix the egg through. Usually one would beat the egg yolk with butter and cheese (and cream if using) and then stir that through the pasta while in the hot pan off the heat.

>>3839

It might have gone down better if it was fitting and/or funny.

>>3844

Ouch, why must you shoot me down so?

>>3843

I dunno, that how I usually see it. Nowt wrong with a bit of presentation.

>>3845

It's all a bit hostile for a thread about bacon flavoured mayonnaise. I apologise.

Did anybody else see that episode of the The Daily Show where Jon Stewart ate a chocolate chip pancake wrapped sausage on a stick dipped in baconnaise?

>>3848

I agree. I think a truce is in order to preserve our dignity.

And to answer your question, yes.

I think I would quite like to try that pancake-sausage thing, call it morbid curiosity. I doubt it's legal to sell in this country, though.

Found a UK seller! Now us britfags can try all-American foodstuffs:

I'm not sure I want to pay a fiver to try that stuff. I only hope one of you ladmates does. I know one of you bought bacon salt already.
