Not according to the USDA, which defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; if the bacon comes from other cuts of the pig, it must be specified.All this other stuff just resembles "bacon." Often imitated, never beaten. |

Not according to the USDA, which defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; if the bacon comes from other cuts of the pig, it must be specified.Beef frye is the "cured belly of a bovine carcass" and is, in layman's terms, beef bacon. It's not just miscellaneous cow parts pressed to look like bacon. |

Can I take some generic white fish, punch it out into rounds, and sell it as scallops? People do; but it's not a scallop.Government regulators define "bacon" as coming from a pig. All you've got is cured beef belly (I haven't seen their futures on the option exchanges I follow). My friend, take it up with the USDA. They set the definition, not me. As a rose is a rose is a rose, bacon is bacon is bacon. Rose does not equal tulip, and pig does not equal beef. It be similar, but it does not meet the government's definition of bacon; not do those "bacon bits" made out of God knows what that are not porcine either. |

So long as the dish isn't the sort of "china" that has gold or silver leaf on it, you can use it in the microwave.I don't know what could have happened in your case, but that's not normal. The popcorn may have been in too long, and the heat collected in one spot, which made the plate too hot. |

I got the impression you'd get sick from it if you'd also eat the dishes along with the food served on it. |

It depended on how much leeching of the material happened. Sorta like DuPont's first "teflon" formula. Melamine however has lasting effects beyond the immediate illness it *can* cause. Now did those plates behave like lead goblets in ancient Rome? Probably not ... but the effects of long term exposure to it could be something else.But melamine plates went away because of this research ... |
