What food does not go with bacon?

Thought of one, pumpkin pie, for me anyway. Course that's because I don't like pumpkin pie, but it might be a little better with bacon...

Pretty common here, as a toping on most any salad. You should try it. As with all things bacon probably not good for you, but tastes great!
I won't try it, simply because altho' I love bacon, I try and minimize it in my diet because it really isn't good for me ...
 

“Not-So-Great News for Bacon Lovers​

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.””​

Quite so: But because of its high levels of sodium, saturated fat and countless preservatives, bacon tops the processed foods list. Eating foods like this can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity.
 
I'm late to this subject, but sometime in the '60's when I was in grade school we had a jar of Skippy peanut butter with bacon bits. Came from the manufacturer that way. I never have liked Skippy, but I was ordered to try it, and that was the last time I ever ate Skippy of any kind.

This article is for anyone who doesn't quite understand the difference between jelly and jam. :)

What’s the difference between jam and jelly and every other kind of sweet, spreadable fruit?

"Toast with some butter and jam is a marvelous thing. Wait. Butter and jam? Or butter and jelly? Or is it marmalade? What’s the difference between jam and jelly and every other kind of sweet, spreadable fruit? It’s a confusing, sticky world. We’re here to provide some answers.

All of these condiments start with sugar, fruit, and heat. Fruit naturally contains pectin, the stuff that makes jams and jellies firm up. (Not all fruits contain the same amount of pectin though, so sometimes powdered pectin has to be added to get the desired texture.) When heated, the fruit will lose liquid, causing it to reduce to a firmer consistency. The distinction between the varieties comes from how much physical fruit ends up in the final product and how firm it ends up setting. It’s a spectrum of sorts.

Jelly​

At one end of the spectrum, you have jelly. It’s the firmest, clearest fruit condiment around. Once the fruit is cooked, it’s strained, so that only the juice ends up in the jelly. That’s why the grape stuff you spread all over peanut butter in first grade was (and is) so clear. If you’re going to find additional pectin in any of these, you’ll find it in jelly. And that means that if you turned a jar of jelly over, it would probably slide out in one solid piece, like a can of cranberry, well, jelly. Kinda gross. Kinda cool.

Jam​

We don’t like to play favorites, but we really like jam. It’s the chunkier version of jelly, with more pieces of actual fruit in it and a slightly looser, spoonable texture. Here, chopped or pureed fruit is cooked with sugar, so pieces of the fruit end up in the final product. It’s not clear, and it’s not solid. This is the middle of our spectrum. We like it in the middle. It’s comfortable. And tasty.

Preserves​

If you’ve been following the trend here, you can probably guess what’s up with preserves. They contain the most fruit, more often than not in whole pieces, and have the least gel-like consistency. These are great for serving with cheese, since you can a big ol’ piece of cherry on top of your stinky gorgonzola.

Marmalade​

Remember how we were just talking about preserves a second ago? Yeah, marmalade is just preserves that are made with citrus—the whole fruit, rind and all. Lemon. Orange. Grapefruit. You get the picture. They make preserves marmalade. We love how aromatic and bittersweet good marmalade's are, a result of all the complex flavors and fragrant oils present in those citrus peels.

Jam, jelly, preserves, and marmalade all live life in the same, same, but different category. They start out almost identical, but take different paths to end up at their final form. What's the difference between jam and jelly and preserves? Well, you know that. What's the same? They’re all good on toast with butter."
