THE HECK WITH THE COTTON CANDY CLOUDS (via Mike Daley):
There's always room for bacon (J&D Foods)
Baconnaise™, available in Regular and Lite, is the newest addition to the J&D’s family.We started with a customer request to make “spreadable bacon, namely mayonnaise.” At first, we were skeptical. Mostly because neither one of us really liked mayo much.
Then we started talking to people about whether a bacon-flavored mayonnaise would fly. We heard from a lot of people that just couldn’t wait for us to make it so they could use it on everything. They told us that sometimes they didn’t want salt, they just wanted bacon – so just mixing Bacon Salt and mayonnaise wouldn’t cut it. They wanted less mayo taste and more bacon taste – it should be Baconnaise, not “Mayocon” we heard. And many people requested a Lite and a Regular version, because some people loved Lite mayos and some people hated it (with a passion).
So we set out on another bacon-flavored adventure. Could we make a mayonnaise product that met our own high bacony standards? Could we get people as excited as they were for Bacon Salt (for which shrines have been built and songs have been written)?
I don't care if I get a stinkin' pony, the Unicorn Rider has justified his election by giving us a world with baconaisse in it... Posted by Orrin Judd at November 18, 2008 6:27 AM
