Makes sense to me

patgundWhen I was in Doha, I joked that the first thing I wanted to do food-wise back in the US was go to a Denny's and say "Bacon, keep it coming, I'll tell you when to stop".
And found myself on more than one occasion eating BacO's from the bottle while still there.
So this makes PERFECT sense to me.
Special salt from Seattle cures soldiers' craving for bacon
"As they serve in Iraq, U.S. troops have begun to rely more upon a powerful sensory-enhancing creation devised in Seattle. It's a condiment of mass consumption.
Bacon Salt.
U.S. troops in Muslim nations where pig-eating is a religious no-no, have been requesting the local startup's product, dreamed up by two guys who stayed up late into the night brainstorming in 2006, to sprinkle on their MREs and anything else edible overseas."
(Snip)
"The product, sold on QFC and Albertsons store shelves in Seattle, isn't contraband but, astonishingly, is called kosher bacon and acceptable for consumption in the Middle East. Founders Dave Lefkow and Justin Esch sought and received inspection and approval from a local rabbi for the vegetarian product that has sea salt as its main ingredient along with garlic, onion and other flavorings.
Advertising has been word-of-mouth and a few tongue-in-cheek pseudo-cults have sprung up online, along with a mock religion in St. Louis, the Church of Holy Bacon Salt.
"We're hoping that people will now know Seattle for grunge, coffee, software and Bacon Salt," Lefkow says, chuckling."
