Facon Bacon Taste Test

it's time to conduct a taste test to see. if we can survive the impending bacon. apocalypse let's talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning all right. there's something different about you. link and I don't know what it is I don't. have a beard anymore even though the. response in the comments from you the. mythical Beast was overwhelmingly. positive when it came to reacting to my. Beast.

I have I'm sorry made the executive. decision to clean shave the face so that. I can just move places faster the. friction face friction was just too much. problem it was slowing me down well I. think this show has swimmer principle. enough beard I think the show has enough. beard on this side yeah you might need. think about trimming yours well the. reason I did not trim it is because I. knew that you were doing this and I. thought listen man you know if we if you. shave your beard and I my beard at the.

same time the beard Gods will be upset. with us and you might break something. today we're going to rub some bacon on. it today speaking of rub some bacon on. it if you have a problem this summer. you've got a problem because you won't. be able to rub bacon on that problem. because there's going to be a bacon. shortage now you may remember last year. there was lots of talk about a bacon. shortage for the summer of 2013 and I. got to be honest with you I don't. remember it happening and you know how I. like to eat bacon and I don't remember. paying that I guess I paid a little bit. more for bacon I don't know but do you.

know that there is a virus look out. there is a virus going through the pig. farms and that uh virus is called in. fact do you hear there's a siren I I get. that you probably can't hear that at. home but there's a siren for. emphasis it's called the POR sign. epidemic diarrhea virus oh it has the. word diarrhea in it the PE I I mean I. don't want to picture pigs with viruses. but why put the word I mean I if they. have diarrhea.

okay but why you got to put it in title. why you got to make me visualize that. well it's not about visualization it's. about facts the fact is the pigs are. dying from diarrhea well all over the. country all over the United States of. America right now pigs are dying from. diarrhea I mean I got bacon in front of. me man that's not appetizing you're. going to eat some in a second okay but. it's. irresistible now in interestingly I. don't know if I just anticipate things. well or if I'm just in tune with the. universe neither but this past weekend. what's the third option this past.

weekend I had an ungodly amount of bacon. and pork I ingested all kind and I. didn't know about this shortage was this. like a New Year's resolution in effect. for you or something it's just. circumstantial this is how it happened. so on uh first of all my kids still have. Christmas money and we let them. collectively buy things like bacon and. and they have made a decision to buy a. waffle maker my My Two children block. and Shephard decided we want a waffle. maker and so Jesse was like okay. Saturday morning we're going to do. Waffle and she was like you need to go.

to the store and get bacon yeah you do. and uh I said okay so when you send me. out to the store I see that there's. multiple types of bacon and then I'm. like we're not going to get just one we. got to make this a taste test so I. narrowed it down to two types of bacon. two pounds one pound each and I took. them back to my family and prepared all. the bacon thinking that we'll eat like. half of it we ate the four of us ate the. whole thing all two pounds I know we've. already held it up we have crazy.

alternative types of bacon here that's. not what you're talking about you're. talking about alternative versions of. real bacon this was por sign that means. from a pig okay it was actual real bacon. and let me tell you it was incredible 2. lbs okay that's like a half pound per. person but I probably put down a pound. myself cuz I'm the head of the household. you really ate that. much yeah and I didn't stop on Saturday. on Sunday we had some people over didn't. tell you about this sorry you weren't. invited um but just because we got to. stay separate on the weekends every once.

in a while I was under the weather I. smoked a pork loin a 4B pork loin and at. the same time I didn't even think about. this I made jalapeno poppers my special. recipe and I put one strip of bacon. around each one and and and baked those. and so then I probably had a pound of. porkloin myself and then I had eight. jalapeno poppers each one piece of real. bacon so I've got my bacon for the year. in one sense well that's one way to look. at the other way to look at it is you're. gonna be really hurting when this.

diarrhea thing kicks in you know you. don't get the diarrhea from the bacon I. know that I'm just saying the shortage. Oh I thought Oh I thought I thought that. you thought that that I was going to get. diarrhea I wanted to say no. scientifically that's not how it works. but I mean is there going to be no bacon. at all should we really be shaking in. our boots here or is it just the price. is going to go up yeah I mean you've. taken economics before right I think I. was with you when you did uh I live. economics supply and demand so if the.

supply goes down the price goes up the. demand goes up and then the price point. is higher right so that's what's going. to happen theoretically over the summer. and I want you guys to be prepared you. know I want all mythical beasts who I'm. assume many of you are bacon lovers. because right now everyone's just super. scared right everyone's super scared we. got to do something we just can't if we. ended the episode right here there would. be like. bedum across the mythical Beast 30,000. piglets died at one Farm I don't get.

mean to get morbid here that's that's a. lot of potential bacon that never made. it on my plate that's sad but what I'm. saying is there needs to be some sort of. uh we need to alleviate the fears I've. got some ideas about how we can make it. through now first of all the thing that. you can do is you can go to an. alternative source of bacon so we have. so here we have real bacon real bacon. we're going to do a little taste test to. see if we're going to be able to make it. and we have some alternative um sources. of bacon we got turkey bacon types of. bacon turkey distinctly different look.

and uh speaking of distinctly different. look we have I mean this looks like a. muppet mouth you think that looks like a. muppet mouth this is Veggie bacon that. looks like dog bacon this is for an. animal this is not this is for a dog it. has to be for a dog is it but it was. given to us under the uh oaces of it. being vegan bacon is it vegan or just. veggie I think it's vagan okay so not. vegan and then we also have no bacon.

here as the fourth option okay so like. right here right there where next to L. so here which way you want to do this. here's what we're going to eat the real. bacon and then we're going to work down. to the dog bacon yeah so let's so let's. switch this let's go turkey so here's. what we're going to do we're going we're. going to eat these and we're going to. discuss the viability of the options so. this is like the control group real. bacon real bacon which is going to be. very expensive so good in the. future oh L went for it. h once you pop you can't.

stop went for the whole piece now we got. to sit here and chew for a while that's. not even great bacon and it's still. great. okay turkey bacon as you can see there's. less fat in this because turkeys. although they're very rotund don't have. a lot of fat in their is that fat or is. that just different colored same stuff. I'm not going to eat the whole piece man. that's just the chewing is overwhelming. H it's crispier.

tastes like beef. jerkey e I'm waiting for the flavor and. it's not coming well no there is a. flavor and it's not a good flavor it's. negative it's a negative. experience okay it's like beef jerky dog. food hold on hold on hold on you want to. eat the fatty end I don't think it. matters it's all the same I mean they. got one let's smell it first look hold. on I have never tried this stuff before. in my life look the pattern is exactly. the same it matches our patterns match. look at that.

yeah that's suspicious let's smell it. first dog food smells just like the time. I ate dog food that was at your house. remember that as a kid. there surprisingly I'm saying this is. better than the turkey bacon that is. surprising cuz it's. horrible. really it's like fabric it's got the. consistency of meat fabric.

I think I'm just going to pay more for. real bacon I listen I would just if you. can't get real bacon don't imitate it. with a turkey and don't imitate it with. a vegetable just go to no bacon the only. two viable options are real bacon to pay. more for and no bacon and just going. about your business you know what time. it is I'm here at buo Creek Elementary. School in Buoy Creek North Carolina and. it's time to spin the wheel of. mythicality make sure you watch Good. Mythical more today where I discuss my.
