Will Disney have to ration bacon?

[Ralph&Pam]

I know you were probably joking, but seriously - I would probably go for something like this...

Actually, as someone who doesn't drink, and so has no interest in the mixology stuff, I have wondered why Disney doesn't do other "tasting" options centered around foods and such (which they could optionally pair with drinks for those who really want alcohol). The only thing I know of is the Remy dessert experience (which we tried and enjoyed). And, I've seen excursions that focus on things like chocolate. But, I'd bet that chefs could put together some interesting food tasting options that don't involve full meals. I could imagine tastings around things fixed with a single ingredient (like your bacon), or varieties of a food (like chocolate or cheese), or different cuts or ways of preparing meats, or use of a spice (e.g. I've been to an all-garlic restaurant), different "exotic' fruits or something. A lot of those are things I'd be willing to pay for - a chance to try a range of things I wouldn't otherwise try, or get to compare different things in ways you couldn't in a normal meal.

On the longer Transatlantic and Panama Canal cruises, they do cooking demonstrations with tastings on most of the sea days (pre-Covid, of course), with samples and an appropriate wine pairing. No charge for these. I have also done an olive oil and vinegar tasting and a cheese tasting on these cruises.

DCL is awesome. DCL bacon is trash.

Have you ever had DCL bacon it’s paper thin… they probably already use a mandolin and take one piece of bacon and shave it into 3…. I leave on a back to back Fri I can let you know!

Same here on Friday ... let's hope for a great cruise. Weather looks good ...

Ooooh ... Bacon Pairing!

It really is! It's so thin that you can see through it!

It's all Oscar Meyer's fault. They apparently introduced thick cut bacon on a mass market basis and others followed suit. The Oscar Meyer introduced Butcher's cut bacon, which is even thicker.
An American tradition, Super Sizing everything including bacon. Just make sure to wash it down with a 64 ounce Double Big Gulp soda from 7-11.

Just got off Dream this morning, no signs of rationing bacon. At Cabanas I asked for some bacon and they nearly filled my whole plate and then asked me "Is that enough?" I think I had more bacon these last four days than I have had in the last year.

There was one time I watched a little boy in Cabanas (maybe 4 or 5?) ask for bacon, was given bacon on a plate and he just picked it up with both hands and was walking around with these fist fulls of bacon that he would munch off occasionally as he walked back to the family's table. He left the plate behind of course.
