This Week in Bacon
Baconostalgia. It’s not been a word, but it should be, and becomes one with a little portmanteauing.
Baconostalgia is a noun, and refers to one’s expression of longing for the past through the medium of bacon.
Here are two proper uses of the word. First, I was feeling a bit baconostalgic, and so I used Google News to search back for cool articles about bacon from 100 years ago this summer.
“Eating [in] this hot weather should be made a careful consideration by everybody,” said a well known physician. “It is not a known fact, but fat meat, especially salt pork, is one of the best things to eat during hot weather. The stomach will digest bacon when it will not digest anything else.”
Second, A man set to be executed–in Texas, naturally–in a final fit of baconostalgia, had a bacon cheeseburger as part of his last meal.
[Michael] Rodriguez, 45, asked for fried chicken breast, preferably spicy, grilled pork steak with onions, bacon cheeseburger, a garden salad, and French fries with ketchup.
