they're delicious and much better than scones or muffins (though muffins are necessary for the ultimate breakfast food, eggs benedict)
I had no idea it existed! If I smelt it I think I may die from an extreme smellgasm.
Make bread and as you are kneading the dough, incorporate a generous amount of finely chopped raw bacon into it. When baking, the smell is awesome. Plus the bacon fat moistens the bread internally. If you use enough bacon, each bread slice is moist with bacon fat and you dont even have to butter it.
My mouth just filled with saliva.
A freshly lit cigarette... and I don't even smoke. There's just something oddly good smelling about the first few seconds of a freshly lit cancer stick.
