Sea Bacon

A few months ago, PETA came up with a bizarre campaign to rename fish “sea kittens” on the grounds nobody would ever want to harm a sea kitten. This, in turn, provoked a campaign to rename fish “sea bacon” on the ground everybody would like to eat sea bacon.

Well… Speaking as someone who doesn't eat bacon, I figured that bacon is a smoked and salted fatty meat, so sea bacon should be a smoked and salted fatty fish. I've found that fried lox tastes pretty good (much better than most kosher bacon substitutes, which taste like smoked and salted fatty cardboard).

Now Jews and Muslims can join in the bacon enthusiasms in parts of the blogosphere.
