Ideas are easy. Execution is hard. Every Friday I will share an idea that's been rolling around in my head that I have neither the time nor the where-with-all to execute. Remember, it's free, so take it for what it's worth.

The other day a friend posted on Facebook that she and her coworkers were enjoying bacon flavored popcorn. I'm one of those people who believe that bacon makes everything taste better, but I'm skeptical of products that use artificial bacon flavor, so I decided to take it to anther level.
I fried up three pieces of
Nueske's Applewood Smoked bacon (if you haven't tried Nueske's, do. It will change your life), poured a couple tablespoons of the grease into the bottom of my popcorn popper. Then after popping half a cup of kernels, I added the bacon bits to the popcorn and drizzled maple syrup over top. Can you say, "magic?"
This got me thinking. Couldn't you package that in a microwaveable container, sell it in the refrigerated section with the bacon bits and maple syrup co-packed in separate bags.
Would it be more expensive than the microwave popcorn you buy now? Of course. Would it be worth it? Oh, yeah.

My father-in-law introduced us to bacon grease popcorn decades ago. It is undeniably tasty--and a great way to clog your arteries.
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to the Julia Child school of dietary vigilance: All things in moderation, including moderation.
A little bit of bacon grease won't kill me. And if it does, I'll die happy.
Sounds like the perfect weekend culinary experiment.
ReplyDeleteBut I think I'll replace the maple syrup with a cigar and some Buffalo Trace. :)
