International Bacon Day…

What?  You’ve never heard of International Bacon Day?  Queue Wikipedia:

International Bacon Day or Bacon Day is an unofficial observance, often celebrated on the Saturday before US Labor Day (the first Monday of September). Some cultures, however, celebrate on 19th of February, while others celebrate the day on the first Saturday in January after the new year.

Bacon day celebrations typically include social gatherings during which participants create and consume dishes containing bacon, including bacon-themed breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, and drinks. Bacon Day gatherings may also include the consumption of soy bacon or turkey bacon.

I especially like the reference to “some cultures”.  For some reason that makes me giggle like a little (yes, a 6’5″ bald, goateed man can giggle).

We here at The Daily Bacon strongly encourage you to take some time and celebrate this wonderful day.  Take the family out to breakfast, grab a blt or club at lunch, maybe a bacon wrapped filet for dinner!

So circle the calendar for this Saturday and eat well my friends.

PS – time is ticking away in the Detroit “Most Valuable Blogger” competition.  Please do us the favor of voting once per day, each day until Sept. 9th.  Cause their ain’t no bacon like The Daily Bacon cause The Daily Bacon don’t stop!
