Driven By Bacon

Hormel Foods in the USA have built a Bacon powered motorcycle! This has to be the coolest thing I have seen!

Ok so technically it's a Bacon grease powered motorcycle, but that is still pretty badass!

Check out their full website about the process of converting Bacon grease into bio-diesel, the full details of the bike build, the journey as they ride the motorcycle across the US as well as many other interesting stories.

This really is one of the coolest things I think I've posted here. Love this idea.

And it's a pretty cool looking bike too!

Good skills and keep it going!

Roasted Pork Belly?

A few Pigs warming up at a camp fire - perhaps getting a little close?
Those must be some big logs! Or these are Piglets getting ready to be Suckling Pig!

Baconfest Cape Town

Baconfest Cape Town is being held on Saturday the 29th November 2014 at La Bottega Restaurant, Buchanan square 160 Sir Lowry Rd, Cape Town. The event is divided into two sittings, afternoon and evening, where you can pig out to your hearts content, on all dishes presented including 2 x 500ml Boston Lager Draught beer for the price of R250 a ticket from Webtickets.

Hopefully this will be better than the f*@k show organised in May at the Wembley Tap.

With the benefit of seeing how not to arrange a Bacon Fest I think this one could be the real deal!
Also the fact that they have limited numbers to 300 people over two seating sessions make a big difference. Sure it is limited, but it will make the experience that much better for the people who get a chance to go.

So if you are in Cape Town on the 29th November then make a plan and get to this place!
And let me know how it turns out!

The process of cutting up a Swine carcass to get to the Bacon. Very interesting and informative.
