Do you love bacon? I do. In fact, bacon is one of my favorite things to eat. I can eat it as a snack, on my sandwiches, on my burgers, & in my pasta. Bacon is good anytime of the day. You can imagine my pleasant surprise when I came across this on Twitter.
Baconnaise is a bacon-flavored condiment. The bastard-child of an unsolicited one night stand between an extremely drunk piece of bacon & a very desperate jar of mayonnaise. The official description from their website says that it’s a bacon flavored spread. “Use it on sandwiches, salads, dips, sauces, chicken, fish & fries.” They also say it is “vegetarian safe” which means no real bacon.
Here, I took this off their about page:
We’re Justin and Dave, and this is our improbable bacon-flavored story. Who are we? We’re just two regular guys who love grilling and football on Sunday afternoons, eating until we can’t get off the couch and of course, the taste of great bacon. And it’s our dream to make everything taste like bacon.
Not too long ago, we used to work together in a little technology company. While on a business trip together, we had the chance to sit down for dinner and eventually, the conversation turned to our mutual love of bacon. It was then that Justin told Dave and another coworker named Kara about his idea for Bacon Salt®. Kara, who is a vegetarian, loved the idea. Dave, a card-carrying carnivore and Midwesterner, loved it even more. Even the waiter at the fancy restaurant loved it.
And from that point forward, a partnership was struck to turn this bacon-flavored dream into a reality. In 2007, we and a few of our close friends tasted the first flavors of Bacon Salt, on Porterhouse steaks, mashed potatoes, eggs, corn and tomato soup – literally everything Dave could find to eat in his house. One enthusiastic person even tried bacon-flavored ice cream, which we don’t really advise doing, but to each his own. With the one exception of Maple (which was recently resurrected and is much better), everything was absolutely delicious – we were all just licking our plates.
And now we bring our inventions to fellow bacon lovers everywhere. We started with 3 flavors of Bacon Salt – Original, Hickory and Peppered. Since then, we’ve found even more things to make taste like bacon. We’ve expanded the Bacon Salt family to include Natural Bacon Salt and several Limited Edition flavors (Applewood, Jalapeno, Mesquite, Cheddar and Maple Redux). We’re also very excited about the newest addition to the family, Baconnaise™, which promises to take your sandwiches, salads, dips, fish and fries (and more) to new and more bacon-y heights.
Whether you’re a regular griller or a gourmet chef, are counting calories or are a vegetarian who craves mouth-watering bacon taste without the bacon guilt, this is what you’ve been waiting for.
I’m thinking they are my brothers. We must have been separated at birth as I too have been on a quest to make everything taste like bacon. Their site also has reviews, recipes, & retail locations where you can purchase their products, or you can just order it online. The Ultimate Bacon Lovers Gift Pack has a little bit of everything they sell & is only $40. If anyone out there wants to send this to me, email me so we can work out the shipping details.
