Is it safe to eat burned bacon? Like, charcoal-crispy burnt?

[MrsBugi]

I completely forgot about a pound of bacon that I was baking in the oven and by the time I rushed to save it... Too late.

I am looking sadly at a pile of black, crispy strips of pork fat.

I hate to let bacon go to waste.

Is it safe to eat? I would be willing to risk a 0.00000001% increased chance of getting cancer if I do, but if it isn't, then I'll just toss the batch.

Sad.

...you're not concerned about the taste?

 

[MrsBugi]

...you're not concerned about the taste?

I just ate a piece. It isn't burnt to the point where it's bitter, it's just... a little charcoal-bacon-y.

Not good, but not horrible. :\

 

[BUTCH1]

use it for bacon bits on a salad, throwing away bacon is just pure sin in these parts..

 

[lxskllr]

It's fine; as fine as bacon ever is anyway :^D

'bitter' - that's pretty much inedible to me

 

[Raduque]

Safe? yes.

Tasty? No.

Fuck you for burning bacon.

 

[eldorado99]

You got cancer just for suggesting it. You have 3 days.

 

[MrsBugi]

I've eaten three more slices since posting this thread.

Mustn't... waste... bacon...

i would have been done eating it before you finished typing up the OP. even if it were burned to bitter crisps i would have to eat it out of principle.

Epically awesome.

Pretty much anything you eat can cause cancer. I wouldn't sweat it. It's only a pound of bacon. Not even bulk.

 

[herm0016]

[shortylickens]

:hmm:

Are you Cornbread?

 

[MrsBugi]

I ate it. All of it. Now I'm going to yoga, full of burned bacon and a tinge of guilt and remorse.

 

[SparkyJJO]

The bacon gods are going to smite you for burning the bacon in the first place.

[coldmeat]

That's what happens when you leave the kitchen. Did you at least ask your husband's permission first?

 

[lokiju]

Now I really want some crispy bacon

This conversation actually happened tonight:

Yoga Instructor: (sniff) Do you smell bacon?

Me: (guilty) I kind of accidentally ate a pound of it right before I came to class.

Yoga Instructor: Oh.

Me: That's why I came. I need to be here right now.

Yoga Instructor: Well, there are certainly worse things you could smell like.

Me: I have a problem.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I was offered a bacon-flavored mint before class yesterday. I declined.

 

[tboo]

The burned crispy parts are the best.

 

[Doppel]

Bacon is best when it's more or less burned.
