Wake up and smell the bacon.

I have been inspired to write about bacon or rather the smell of it after reading a post by @Raelove she had posted an article about bacon which is worth a read and rate and of course your opinion on it too! There are some things in life that are just infectious and invoke happiness in many people and that is the smell of bacon cooking. Imagine lying in bed and someone starts cooking bacon the aroma coming from the kitchen and wafting its way through the house to you slumbering in your bedroom will instantly wake you. Whilst visiting a friend one day quite early in the morning he was about to make some bacon sandwiches for breakfast. Where he lives a lot of joggers run past his house. He told me that when the joggers run past his house he tends to make bacon sandwiches and turns the extractor fan on in the kitchen so that the smell of the bacon cooking wafts outside. Teasing and tantalising those joggers which I thought was terribly funny but cruel. Can you imagine going out for a jog and being hit by the smell of bacon cooking. I wonder if it makes joggers run faster to get home to cook a bacon sandwich for themselves. There is something very special about the smell and taste of bacon. Although we rarely eat bacon in our house the smell of it cooking certainly sets the taste buds racing. When we have bacon sandwiches they are absolutely delicious with tomato ketchup and it is practically a sin not to have it this way. I do not like it cremated like they make it in the states but I like it browned but still soft inside. I can not eat bacon when I go to the states as it is far too crispy and seems to have taken on a completely different taste. How do you like your bacon cooked? Do you find bacon sandwiches irresistible too?
