What food does not go with bacon?

Not-So-Great News for Bacon Lovers[/HEADING]
Bacon took a hard blow in October 2015, when the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, named processed meat -- which includes bacon -- a “group 1 carcinogen.”

Yea, processed meat is tasty, but there's that carcinogen thing they've been suspecting for some time. That and the fat content is a deal breaker for me. However, every couple months I do end up buying some bacon and dicing it up and frying to add to my batch of southern greens.
 
I was going to say that bacon doesn't go with tuna salad but the more I pondered on it the better it sounded.


Me yelling across the house: "Hey honey c'mere and look at this, this is what I want for lunch tomorrow".

Her rolling her eyes: "You called me all the way in here for that ?......okay whatever."

Remember the bacon-wrapped chicken liver cooked in brown sugar that was apparently the Gold Standard for appetizers in the 50's and 60's? Nobody would eat them but you weren't legally married if you didn't have them at your wedding reception.

We were standing in the "receiving line" at someone's wedding (another custom that has bit the dust) and one of my younger sisters snagged one from a tray while Mom wasn't watching. She popped it in her mouth and immediately turned green when she realized what it was. Mom hissed, "Don't you DARE spit that out!" I don't know how long she stood there with that mouthful before she gave up and swallowed.

I love, love, love, bacon. I cook it a pound at a time in the oven. the bacon is put on paper towels, then into a zip lock bag for the fridge. I can just take out a couple of slices at a time, give a warm in the microwave. Ready for breakfast, ready for a blt or burger. Even ready cold as a little bedtime snack!!

The grease from cooking is poured into a glass jar in my fridge for seasoning vegetables, beans and making cornbread. My Mother taught me from a young age that bacon grease is pure gold when cooking!!

I use bacon grease too to season with, we just don't eat a lot of it but we do love bacon. So how do you make your cornbread with it? Do you have a recipe it sounds good.
