The Great Bacon Conspiracy!
Bacon lovers. It is time to stand up to the conspiracy that is taking place in our super markets. Bacon is one of the world's essential food groups and as we speak fundamental changes to its price and packaging are threatening our guaranteed supply of our succulent bacon in sufficient quantities. I am uncertain whether this is a plot to dangerously reduce our cholesterol intake from the fanatical health lobby or collusion with the "Save Wilbur the pig" coalition, but I cannot stand by idly while the fundamental supply chain of my beloved bacon is challenged!
Due to a purported shortage of source material, prices rocketed to unheard of levels, reaching as high as $9.00 for our traditional 500gm package. The result of this increase was to surreptitiously begin to sell 375gm packages of bacon and selling them for the the price we are used to paying 5.00$.
Slowly, but surely, the 500gm packages are disappearing from our shelves....and the 375gm packages are being sold as if they have always been there....but there is more....
Last week I noticed a change in the labeling... The 500gm package are back! But labelled family format.... I don't know about you, but where I come from, 500gm is not a family pack unless it is a family of 2!
Bacon lovers, do not despair!! I have found a way around this subversive plot to limit our supply of our succulent nitrate infused food from the gods... Its your local butcher store. They sell 5kg boxes of bacon, destined for the restaurants. Last week, the price was 37.50$ a box.. That is 3.75$ per 500gms. Buy a box, separate it into freezer bags and the rest is history!
Bacon lovers unite! Join me with in my crusade to return sanity to the food supply chain of bacon... Next to cheese slices, no other food is dearer to my heart....If we don't act now, Bacon as we know it may be gone forever!
Gotta go.... the Bacon is sizzling in the pan, I like it squidgy!
