Why not eat an Atomic Buffalo Turd this Sunday?

Super Bowl Snack Idea: The "Atomic Buffalo Turd"

By Ian Froeb

OK, so it's no Bacon Explosion, but a colleague passed along a link from the barbecue forum the Smoke Ring for something called an Atomic Buffalo Turd.

With a name like that, it has to be good, right?

Basically, it's a souped-up jalapeño popper, which seems just about right for a Super Bowl snack.

You stuff a jalapeño with cream cheese and an entire cheddar-flavored cocktail weenie, wrap it in a slice of bacon and smoke over low heat for a couple of hours. Visit the Smoke Ring for appetizing, full-color photos of the whole process.

Serve 'em while you're waiting for the Bacon Explosion to finish.

What will you be serving at your Super Bowl party? I'll be making chili, and my wife promises a reprise of last year's Velveeta and Ro-Tel dip.

(And if you do eat it, you should probably call ahead and schedule your heart surgery for early next week...)

I'd rather just have the bacon.

 

[gibbz]

If you like bacon, you'll love this. Looks to be as healthy as the Atomic Buffalo Turd.

 

[Koodauw]

If you go to the site and check it out, it actually looks pretty good. I'd try one.

The jalapeno part of it really interests me, but I don't know about the cream cheese and cocktail weenie.

Maybe I'll just wrap jalepenos in bacon.

::mmm:: ::bacon::

I don't know what you call 'em, but the most frightening appetizer I've ever had was a cheese-stuffed, bacon wrapped, deep-fried cocktail weenie.

If you think that sounds nasty, imagine what they're like when they cool off.

That sounds awful.

But speaking of all this bacon, I did forget to mention that while not nearly as oddly named, this article was a follow-up to The Bacon Explosion story that sounds much tastier (but even less healthy).

"Bacon Explosion" Taking Internet by Storm...

By Ian Froeb

...but who will make it for me?

Yes, it's the Bacon Explosion, now officially more than just an Internet sensation thanks to an article in today's New York Times dining section.

The Bacon Explosion is the creation of the Burnt Fingers BBQ team, as posted on their BBQ Addicts Web site. It's a weave of raw bacon that's topped with a layer of raw sausage and then a layer of cooked bacon. The layers are then rolled into a log so that the raw bacon is on the outside. This log is then smoked (or baked, if you wish) and, for finishing touch, slathered in barbecue sauce.

According to the NYT story, an entire log contains around 5,000 calories -- about the same as two large Chocolate Oreo Shakes from Baskin-Robbins! -- but I imagine most of us would be content with a slice, Or two.

At any rate, I pass this along now so you have time to revise your Super Bowl party plans.

I really fancy a bacon sarnie now…

I really fancy a bacon sarnie now…

I haven't heard that expression since watching old Masterpiece Theatre stuff years ago! I pronounce you

Topic: That sounds not so bad. The photo included above looks awful. The cold cocktail weenie sounds just plain disgusting. I have a strong stomach, but my gag reflex gets tingling a bit when I read stuff like that..

::mmm:: ::bacon::

i don't know about the weenie part either (that's just overdoing it in my book) but jalapenos/pepperoni filled with cream cheese .. defiantly a thumbs up with that
they taste absolutely delicious even cold with a little bit with olive oil or grilled without

and that's even without bacon .. gotta have to remember that one

edit: if we are at it: tomatoes with cream cheese grilled also taste great

 

[Abstract]

Instead of the coctail sausage with cream cheese, perhaps it would taste better if you substituted it with a piece of real cheese inside the jalepeno, or perhaps some real cheese and a thin slice of carrot. Yes, carrot.

 

[maestrocasa]

jalapeno, cheese, meat, and more meat. what could be better??

unless of course it was battered, fried, and dipped in ranch!

 

[yg17]

Of all foods from St. Louis, that's what you had to post about? Why not toasted ravioli or Imos Pizza?

From your link, WTF?

 

[iJohnHenry]

Velvetta, the food group that loves to kill.

(But, it do taste good. Yes.)

From your link, WTF?

There are a whole lot of WTFs on that website.

 

[joepunk]

Take a red or green pepper and wrap the inside with bacon. Cook it however one feels is best. Then take the winning spicy chili from the chili cook off competition and put that in the cooked bacon lined red/green pepper bowl and eat

Also enjoy some Macrumors Bacon

This thread has become a horrible, delicious, horrible, crime against nature, delicious, horrible bit of reading...

(It's all so deliciously horrible.)

Yes WTF indeed. =)

Probably healthier than the real stuff.
Not my thing, but looks like some people really love bacon.
I guess see some "inventors" have too much time.

Boy am I glad my investments are in artificial heart valves.

Ohh invest first and publish more bacon recipes!!!

^^^Well, bacon in North America is far different from bacon in places like Australia. Your bacon is far more fatty, and they usually come in strips. In Australia, you can eat the bacon without cooking it. It's essentially just ham, rather than the fattiest strip from the pig.

Also enjoy some Macrumors Bacon

If only that was the real MR homepage....

true that .. in america bacon almost exclusively refers to bacon made from pork belly even though bacon can be made from other, leaner, parts as well

and believe me on a pizza the leaner bacons tastes just as awesome (even more so if it's really thin)
