Heart attack on a plate. Worth it. So we decided to make an Irish Pork Bacon Explosion last weekend. My friend Jonathan did all the work while I took photos.
Streaky bacon weaved together
Sausage meat plastered on top
Barbecue sauce put on that
Cooked bacon bits sprinkled on top
Rolled and then weaved
The quote at the bottom of the Wikipedia page is the best – “the dish tasted better than expected, but I didn’t learn the true meaning of the bacon explosion until the next day”.
Where’s the pic of the finished product?
Jesus.
Will somebody please think of the poor little piggies!!!!
Im so hungry now drool
Nice one, Jonathon & Damien.
I’ve made a few of these on the smoker at home.
I’ve found that the trick is to roll the sausage meat and filling up first, leaving the bacon weave flat.
Then roll that ‘tube’ with the bacon weave.
This will help seal the flavours and juices inside and make the whole thing easier to slice.
Also you can fry up an onion with your bacon pieces filling for the ‘healthy’ version 🙂
Wow, meaty! How many did it feed? More than two I hope!
This looks great! How did it taste?
