There may be a food more overrated than bacon, but I’m yet to find it. I mean, it’s nice enough and all, but some people seem to think its like ambrosia only better tasting.
A long time ago the Brits thought that too. They brought pigs to an island in Puget Sound, then in a dispute with the USA as to the border. A pig wandered into the farm of an American one too many times and soon the American was having bacon with breakfast. Tensions escalated, troops were sent to occupy the territory by the USA and the Brits. The border was finally settled. and peace reigned. But the Americans left behind their sheep and rabbits to destroy the ecology of the San Juan Islands.
Why bother with the muss of dirt when you can buy bacon flavoring to add to anything you like. Sprinkle it on some burnt toast and you hardly can tell the difference
Well, okay, I suppose the world would be a slightly better place if bacon was something you could just pluck off a tree, instead of having to slaughter a suffering, sentient creature. Is that the point you’re trying to make?

I’d plant that. If there was such a thing.

They’re called “piglets” or “shoats.”

I would be very happy to find a money tree sapling or shrub offered, if nothing else just to prove my dad wrong.

Rick McKee’s name still appears in the printed byline; but it disappeared from the opening panel of the strip as of 1 November.

Aren’t bacon bits already technically bacon seeds?

Yup. Bacon plants. That’s just one of the things we lost when we got ourselves kicked out of the garden of Eden. (sigh)
