There is no such thing as leftover bacon.  I have never seen it and I am convinced it does not exist.  In researching the topic, I have discussed the issue with several people.  They have all agreed.  Leftover bacon is a myth.

At first, this theory may appear to defy logic.  Every other food is capable of producing leftovers.  At our house, for example, spaghetti is particularly adept at this.   English peas and rice are also very leftover prone.  We once had three or four dates that sat in a small container in the back of the fridge for almost a year before I finally consumed them and put them out of their misery.  But never bacon.  Bacon is just too good to be left unconsumed.  The demand always meets the supply.

When I die, I don’t want to be like spaghetti or English peas.  I want to be like bacon.  One hundred percent shared out.  Every crumb given away.  Every bit consumed.  Nothing held back.  No leftovers.

He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

  1. I’m with you, Mark. Can’t leave bacon on the plate. At the end, I want to be like bacon, too….shared out, given away, consumed, nothing held back. Here we go….

  2. My favorite meat by far, and i too aspire to be like bacon in the way you described it. Beautifully. — kerry

  3. Thanks for the comments. Tammy gets some of the credit for the inspiration. She’s the one that cooked the bacon and declared there wouldn’t be any leftovers. 😉
