cruise pup Posted February 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just heard this on the TV news. Farmers can't meet the increase in consumer demand and prices are expected to rise. So don't be surprised if the bacon police start using tweezers instead of tongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississauga Posted February 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just heard this on the TV news. Farmers can't meet the increase in consumer demand and prices are expected to rise. So don't be surprised if the bacon police replace their tongs with tweezers. Always ask for 2 slices only and always get 6 or more. The way they prepare the bacon, the strips get all stuck together and the servers could care less that they are putting more than requested or should.

USNUZULOOSE Posted February 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I don't know if I want the bacon, it always seems not cooked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't be surprised if the bacon police start using tweezers instead of tongs. That's interesting, since 2016, the US pork production set an all time record of 25 billion pounds, and even more is expected in 2017. An article I read stated that hog meat should go down. http://www.wattagnet.com/articles/29050-us-set-to-produce-record-number-of-hogs-in-2016 What's interesting, is that I googled it, and some news articles are saying bacon prices are going up due to demand. Another article I read says prices are going down due to record number of hogs being raised.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Darn... Seems we miss out of investing in pork belly futures. :eek: :D Seriously, wonder if ships will be more careful about not having big piles of bacon so when you only want two pieces you end up with enough to feed a family for a week? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Maybe they will now take us seriously when we request only two pieces of bacon! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted February 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Might have to start ordering bacon with your Bloody Marys. But if you have Cheers, you're going to have to wait 5 min between slices :eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgb46 Posted February 2, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Is there any way to get the bacon crispy? everytime its sort of wet noodely lol Put it on a lounger by the pool, you know the ones that are being guarded by a book. Let it sun bake for 2 hours. Personally I think the hog farmers are keeping the bacon for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotsauce126 Posted February 2, 2017 #17 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Its actually super easy to get more bacon if you want. You just say "can I have some more, please?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman2 Posted February 2, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Is there any way to get the bacon crispy? everytime its sort of wet noodely lol Try MDR and ask for it crispy? Worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 2, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Is there any way to get the bacon crispy? everytime its sort of wet noodely lol On Vista Lido 2 weeks ago, bacon was reasonably crisp. But still stuck together and I got 4-5 slices with one thong serving. I think they cook it in mass batches in an oven. So it's not your kitchen stove splattered bacon.

DirtyDawg Posted February 2, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Sometimes, you don't know what news to believe anymore. That's because they are interviewed different economists. It reminds me of the joke about the mathamatician, the account and the ecomomist who apply for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What do two plus two equal?" The mathematician replies "Four." The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?" The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says "Yes, four, exactly." Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The accountant says "On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four." Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says, "What do you want it to equal"? :D Edited February 2, 2017 by DirtyDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raxter54 Posted February 2, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) On the Dream last year, I went thru the buffet line for breakfast. When I finally got to the bacon station, low and behold, our MDR waiter, Pyotr, was serving up the bacon. I said good morning, said they must be working him hard to have to get up this early. He smiled and gave me 6, count 'em, 6 slices. Needless to say, he got a good tip at the end of the cruise :-) Sent from my Galaxy 4 Edited February 2, 2017 by Raxter54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparts Posted February 2, 2017 #24 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Seems like I always have to ask at least twice for more than the two slices I get handed. Do not know how I would act getting 4-5 slices at a time. NCL always has it self serve and I DO NOT LET IT GO TO WASTE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarJen Posted February 2, 2017 #25 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I love bacon but have never been thrilled with the quality of the bacon Carnival serves. The bacon police can keep it as far as I'm concerned ;) Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
