I'm sure you've all heard of chicharrones. Also known as pork rinds or cracklin's and often sold in liquor stores with a small packet of hot sauce, these puffy pig fat treats are a mere shadow of the real thing.…

Hi everybody! It's been a while; We moved to a new house and I've been busy securing its borders, making the possums an offer they couldn't refuse, if you know what I mean. I'm still swamped with trampling the flower…

I know the 4th of July was almost a week ago, and that by posting a week late I seem deeply ungrateful for my many liberties, but that popcorn post was really important. Plus? I was too hungover on Sunday…

I have to start this post with two apologies. First, I apologize to the Paradise Island Gourmet Popcorn company. We were remiss in sampling your product. Second, I apologize to our readers, for not getting the word out sooner about…

I just love the 4th of July. I wish I could say it was because I'm so patriotic. Don't get me wrong; I'm wildly grateful to live in America and truly enjoy the freedoms that come along with that privilege,…

I cannot believe how much bacon art there is to be found in this wacky world of ours. This piece here was on display at Bacon Camp in San Francisco in March. Ranging from beautiful to bizarre to downright ridiculous,…

I've been thinking all week, and I decided I just don't have much bacon news to report from across the pond. Although we did enjoy the bacon turnovers in England a great deal, I can't find a photo of them...Naseem probably…

Cheerio! Royal Bacon Society is back from our European Vacation! (Naseem, by the by, has never seen European Vacation and never laughed once when I said, "Look Naseem, Big Ben. Parliament." I started feeling kind of stupid after the 10th…

I tend to get really lazy about cooking when my husband is out of town, which is good in some ways. More salads, fewer rich cream sauces, less red meat. But my husband's gone a lot so eventually I get…

A late night snack? FIVE POUNDS of bacon?! That's really...something. Thanks Joelle!

As our faithful readers already know, RBS headquarters are located in Santa Barbara, home of no less than three major wildfires in the past year. It's been scary and chaotic, but I recently had the super fun experience of having…

Do you like bacon? (Well, technically prosciutto.) Of course you do. Do you like science content in your bacon blog? Who doesn't?! Then I give you Theo Gray's steel-cutting prosciutto torch. What could be more exciting than pork products cutting…

Bacon Lovers, I've missed you. I'm sorry we were gone so long. I was heavily distracted by all things domestic and my new project: home ownership. March was a long month, but April holds great promise. So while I was out,…
