This Week in Bacon
Here’s an idea for a competition, based on the popular turn-of-the-millenium game, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. We all know the game, which posits that “any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon.”
Well, my game, which I’m calling Three Degrees of Bacon, works as follows:
Any food can be linked to bacon, via a recipe published in print or online, by three or fewer degrees of separation.
Even with me halving the degrees of separation from the SDoKB, with the explosion of bacon-in-everything recipes, I’m thinking this shouldn’t be too difficult. Even stinky durian gets there in the requisite three steps, thanks to both it and bacon appearing in ice cream recipes. I invite you all to try to prove me wrong.
