Someone's thought of a way to make a little money in Obamatopia!

On a separate note... mmm... pork.

Well drat! Can't tell my husband, this could set him back after 20 years of sobriety. It just proves that bacon goes with anything.

    Ah, well....I am female, but some say I am a bit militant for my gender, (my son-in-law has made me promise that if it comes down to a real revolution I have to be on the front lines with him) so perhaps you're doing just fine.

Whiskey flavored bacon is not new, we've been marinating bacon with Jack Daniels since the '70's. And, my best friend has been infusing Jack Daniels with crispy bacon and pork jerky for decades. mmmmm... bacon...

  Your not alone. My Dad used Jack on his pork ribs back in the day. Of course you know he was only procuring my addiction to booze. Well just to let you know I beat it because being a truck driver well you know regulations. I still love bacon.

Darn. I thought it was a nifty genetics experiment, but it is not. Feeding pigs mash??? Everybody does that...or did until the FDA got involved and decided to ban it.

Since I have not noticed my California beef tasting like beer, I doubt if these pigs will taste like whiskey. Sorry y'all.

I thought using distillery grains was a fairly common way to get cheaper feed for livestock. It seems like a good use of the grain to me. I think CA is going to ban this practice, though. Now the farmers in CA will have to pay to have the stuff buried or whatever. I hope IA doesn't pay attention to CA.

When I first started reading this headline, I was hoping that they had made bacon tasting whisky. Such a disappointment.
