I’d much rather just make it at home. “Bacon Flavored” isn’t too appealing to me cause I can’t imagine what they actually put in it.
On the other hand, mayo is so easy to make and you could just use bacon fat instead of canola oil. Man, I think I’m going to do that when I get home.

You have my address, yes?
Best part about that article
> She also complained that eating Baconnaise devilled eggs and mixing tuna and Baconnaise left her hands smelling “like I just raped a prostitute with a slice of bacon, then ate an egg afterward.”

hahahaahha! I don’t know how well that would keep… Next time you’re down, we will make it and you can take some home with you.
Quickly then… a recipe!
Well, here’s what I’d try first:
Cook a bunch of bacon on low to render out all the fact and get the bacon super crispy. You might even have better luck doing this in the oven for an hour or so on low. Take the bacon out and crunch it up and set the bacon fat aside.
Take Alton’s mayo recipe:

Cut the oil with baconfat. To what degree, I’m not sure. Oil is liquid at room temp, whereas baconfat is mostly solid. So I’m not entirely sure how much oil you’d need to keep a mayo-y texture. My hypothesis is that if you have the bacon fat just warm enough to be liquid (but not hot, mind you, else you’ll cook the egg), you could probably go ALL bacon fat and no oil. But to be on the safe side, I’d probably go half and half to start and see just how bacony it is.
Then I’d mix in the bacon bits for good measure.
If you try it before I do, lemme know how it turns out!
Jon Stewart after trying baconnaise on the daily show just moments ago:
“To the makers of baconnaise, I know we’ve featured your product a lot on this show tonight.. but please don’t send us any more. I think my tongue just took a shit.”
