Davey Boy 2.0

nearly everything I lost bst, GD, and Coltrane/Miles/Satchmo/Lee Morgan would be priorities

Special to The Globe and Mail At this year's SIAL trade show, the must-see event for food industry leaders and followers, the irresistible aroma of sweet porky goodness wafted through the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It grabbed attendees by the nose and led them to a booth where a strapping young cowboy from Alberta - Stetson hat and all - wrangled strips of what appeared to be bacon onto an electric griddle. The cowboy was Landon Janzen, and it was his dad, Richard, who invented this beguiling comestible. Dark and leaner than pork, beef bacon fries up crispy just like its porcine predecessor, and if it's possible, is even yummier. It delivers everything pork bacon does, plus an added hit of something uniquely beefy and rich, reminiscent of that irresistible fat ribbon that runs through Korean short ribs. Cattleman Richard Janzen had the light bulb moment in 2009. "I wanted to eat healthier so I told my family I wasn't going to eat certain seafood or pork any more. My daughter said, 'But Dad, we love bacon!' So, we'll eat beef bacon then." Janzen set about developing the product. It took a year to perfect the process: belly from Grade A Alberta and Ontario beef - a cut formerly relegated to hamburger and sausage - is cured, hot smoked over hardwood, aged for seven days then sliced. It's lower in fat, higher in protein and is a whopping 50 per cent lower in cholesterol. Still only available in a few shops out west, Janzen demurs that it's about to be picked up by a couple of - as yet, unsecured chains - and go national. Word to the wise, keep your eyes peeled at Costco, Metro and Sobeys. Just sayin'. Canadian Beef Bacon: $6.79 available now at select Calgary IGAs and others and in the next two weeks, across the country.

Looks alright

i felt it on the 21st floor, thought it was something to do with the construction going on at our bldg

I'll try to stop being a broken record around here. To make up for it... Arbiter aangereden door scootmobiel

If/When Arse get dumped out of the CL this week, look out.... might have an impact on whatever transfer kitty at Wenger's disposal, although it'd be ludicrous not to reinvest that Fabregas/Nasri money

don't forget Modric withdrawing himself without having an injury

didn't even make the bench for the CL final, no injury ta boot, looks like he's slightly ahead in the pecking order than Mickey Owen

atta boy Percy!

HandM is a big fan of the amazingly subtle

that's how i knocked up CatPhish I realise that doesn't make sense so gfy

Thank you, hippies and sundry!!! Here's my gift to you

I heard Boy George, Elton John and Madonna had an epic 3sum

Off with his head!!

wow. Man City bench worth 186 M, entire Swansea squad worth 13M

sounds like you should've worn a rubber Dave (allergies over here as well, BWM)

facking hell

"I need a little fresh air to sober up"

Yeah I think I might slip myself a mickey in about 29 hours

I think I just realised that I need a hit from the gas bong

Dispense logic

and has he been listening to a lot of ABBA since the incident?

Maybe we should do a poll Low Roller: permanent brain damage? [X] Yay [ ] Nay

I'll take $50 worth if he finds a source.

How the hell are Arse going to replace Nasri and Fabregas?!?! Even with the 60M they should land from the pair, who is out there and available? Modric might work but I can't see that happening. Maybe they'll grab Sneijder out from under the clutches of sir red nose.
