Opinions please - I used applewood smoked bacon for a Valentine's dish - I think it's great - but date said it tasted "funny" - so only commercial

blah bacon is good? It was thicker cut with pepper on the edges ... so it's not "hickory smoked" ... is that so wrong? I was miffed :(

I just noticed that I've only ever had applewood-smoked bacon on things at restaurants and never 'homemade'. But it's good. - ty97 Feb 17, 15:49 1
- see that's my thing ... it's totally my "go to" bacon when a recipe calls for a bacon starter - like stews or coq au vin - I think its more subtle - JenBro Feb 17, 15:52
I dislike applewood smoke bacon sometimes. It's like the apple-taste is funky. - JaxSean Feb 17, 15:48
"funny" doesn't necessarily mean "bad". Besides, when you're cooking, YOU'RE cooking. You ain't runnin' a damn restaurant! - Apple-smoked Vermin Feb 17, 15:46 1
- local restaurant here has similar slogan - ie. if you want home cooking - eat at home -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:49

if it was food poisoning, you'd probably know by now. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 15:45
i don't eat pork bacon, but maybe the date just isn't used to it/was expecting the regular kind. it could have been the pepper, even. - b! Feb 17, 15:44
s/he said it tasted funny? party foul! -- nm - kare Feb 17, 15:43 6
- oddly enough - he loved the rosemary roasted new potatos - go figure. -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:46
- that's true, too! did he offer it up on his own or was it solicited? -- nm - b! Feb 17, 15:45 4
  - his last bite ... "I liked this but the bacon tasted funny" -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:48 2
    - mid-rude (*shakes fist his way*), but it does confirm that he likely was just expecting regular. - b! Feb 17, 15:51 1
      - yeah ... good plan ... blt would totally work for it! -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:56
  - hee hee. -- nm - kare Feb 17, 15:46
your date just needs their tastes expanded - baby steps ! -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 15:43 2
- *pictures a tenderloin wrapped half in my bacon - half in his :D heh heh -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:44 1
  - That's officer thinking right there. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 17, 15:48
