I’LL NEVER FORGET THE SIGHT. My son – totally uninterested in food up until this point – playing on the floor at his grandparents’ house. Suddenly, the bacon hit the frying pan. It was intended for the top of a cauliflower gratin. But then, after a few minutes, came that familiar, wonderful smell that comes whenever heat and bacon are brought together. A smell people have loved since we were still living in caves. Call it a Maillard reaction, call it a miracle … or just call it an irresistible smell. It makes no difference to the magic.
Without warning, in the otherwise silent living room, the boy began to turn around. It was as though some sort of dense magnetic field was dragging him, bodily, out of a world of childish fantasy.
And so, in fully formed words (his vocabulary, unlike his diet, was unusually advanced for his age), he half-stuttered, half-demanded …
‘What … what’s that beautiful smell?’
And with that, the boy was uncontrollably, irreversibly lost. We’re all born with a desire for bacon. All of us. Not raised. Born.
We love bacon. That magical smell of frying bacon is equally irresistible to us all. It’s not something taught, or learned – we’re born this way. The appeal of the smell of cooking meat is deeply engrained, and no other cooked meat compares with bacon. Bacon is in a class of its own.
