This entry is for Round 3 of the Meat Bracket being sponsored by The Carnivore Project. Bacon is going head to head with other meats to determine which meat is the best. In the first round, bacon dominated hot dogs. In the last round, bacon destroyed steak. This week, bacon is up against sausages. So please vote for bacon!
Meat Bracket Division Final: Bacon vs Sausage
After a little pre-match scouting on my competitor’s blog, it is clear that the bacon vs sausage match is actually gearing up to be a battle of the United States vs Europe.
While I’ve only scratched the surface, I feel that the 200+ posts I’ve done on this blog over the last 21 months do a respectable job of making the case for why Bacon Is The Best Meat Ever. And in my first and second round matches against hot dogs and steak, I made the argument that both of those meats can be improved when wrapped in bacon. So it would be redundant for me to write an entry about sausage being better when wrapped in bacon. It’s just too obviously true. Therefore, I’m not going to bother. This entry is going to be about defending the honor of the United States and, correspondingly, bacon.
I’ve got nothing against Europeans. My pedigree is a solid mix of German and English blood. I love pancetta, Berner würstel, and choucroute garnie as much as any of my European brethren. But in defending bacon and, let’s face it, liberty, I’m gonna wrap myself in red-white-and-blue and appeal to the good ol’ American sense of patriotism with the hope of garnering enough votes to put bacon, and America, on top where they belong.
So if you’re for grilling bacon cheeseburgers on the 4th of July, bacon egg and cheese biscuits from McDonald’s, Boston baked beans and bacon, bacon bits on your Idaho baked potato, bacon wrapped steak from a New York City steakhouse, a pile of bacon stacked high from a Las Vegas buffet, Southern bacon and grits, bacon-wrapped Gulf Coast shrimp, and freedom, then vote for bacon.
If you’re for leftover – and usually unidentifiable – bits and pieces stuffed into a synthetic casing, and you believe in the burden of the European social model, then give your vote to the other guy.
Thank you for your vote and enjoy the video!
