Yes, this is a real product.

Sent to me by my good friend Diane (aka “Diaaaahhhne!”), the Chicken Fried Bacon pictured above is part of an article on the Top Ten Most Unusual State Fair Foods. Sadly, this article – which also features Spaghetti and Meatballs on a Stick and Fried Avocado Bites – does not include any recipes. But I bet if really want to make these treats at home, and you know how to use the Google, you’ll be able to find out everything you need to know.
If, like me, you write a fabulous blog that everyone loves wildly, you’ve probably registered that blog on the blog aggregator Zimbio. Because Zimbio is a great tool for promoting individual stories on your blog, and everybody wants to get as much love as possible, am I right? Well, just this morning I decided I was fed up with Zimbio not having a Bacon Wiki on which to post my many Bacon Thing of The Day posts, so I created my own Bacon Wikizine: For Devotees of Bacon – aka “Meat Candy” – In All Of Its Forms! To all of you rabid bacon bloggers out there, please feel free to contribute content to my Bacon Wiki and by all means spread the word!
Update: Since Zimbio Has Gone Offline, I’m Afraid the Bacon Wikizine has as Well!
