Bacon has surpassed cupcakes as the food of the moment: In the past year, we've seen it appear in everything from chocolate to vodka to pork-flavored floss.
Its latest incarnation? Baconnaise, made by J&D's, the brand best known for its Bacon Salt. Since I love both mayo and bacon, as soon as I heard about it, I decided I needed to have it.
On its own, the spread had an incredibly creamy, smoky flavor. When used in place of mayonnaise in my lunchtime BLT, it enhanced the bacon that I couldn't get enough of. I even found myself dipping my potato chips in Baconnaise (a bit too salty, but still delicious), and wondering whether or not it would be kosher to just dip the entire corner of my sandwich into the jar. (For the record, Baconnaise itself is certified kosher.)
The best aspect of Baconnaise is the fact that even people who don't like mayonnaise might love it. Aside from its creamy texture, it really bears no resemblance to mayonnaise. And Baconnaise only includes milk and eggs, which means that for once, vegetarians can take part in bacon, if they so choose.
It's my new favorite thing. I mean, why eat regular mayonnaise ever again, when one can enjoy the savory roundedness of Baconnaise? For those of you who have tried it, did you like it as much as I did?

I haven't tried this yet but I'm REALLY curious about the BaconSalt!!! Could you review that???
I'm not sure if I'd try the baconnaise because I'm currently obsessed with my Wasabi Mayo.
1My first response is "ew" but then I have some friends who would LOVE this stuff, so I'm interested...
2I would try this. It sounds like it would be awesome spread thinly in a grilled cheese sandwich.
3Holy Hell! I just felt a little *tingle* imagining this in egg salad or deviled eggs! Must. Try.
YumSugar, do tell. Did you find this at the grocery in the mayo section or in a specialty area?
4One of my good friends says that she thinks of me every time that she sees the Beggin' Strips commercial, so this is probably right up my alley.
5I'll decide if I like it once I read the nutrition facts
6Thank you for warning me. I will at all costs hide this from my husband.
7If it was bacon finely chopped up into mayo it might be good, but the ingredients list is 20+ items long and *none* of them is bacon! Faux bacon flavour? Ew.
8i've tried the bacon salt. the boy had to have it bc he loves all things bacon... i put it on eggs and hash browns. i am not a fan of bacon but it's actually not so bad. tastes like bacon to me. i'd say it was a good buy.
9Sounds like it is the perfect match for a bacon wrapped hot dog!
10The thought of this turns my stomach.
11talk about sneaky terrorism- The food industry has found another way to give a tool to help people die a slow death. sad.
12fuzzles, bacon deviled eggs do sound delightful! You should be able to find Baconnaise at a local store. There's even a store locator here.
13I must try this.
14i'm confused - if there's bacon in it - then how can we vegetarians have it? unless i'm reading that wrong.
15This was insanely good!
16I would use it. probably on food items that I wasnt supposed to use it on!!
17I hear you, lexichloe...I think my boyfriend would eat this with a spoon right out of the jar!
18I don't really like mayonnaise but I'd be interested to see what kind of flavor this adds to a sandwich. Good idea to use it on a blt.
19ilanac13, I just read the ingredient list and bacon is not on it, so it must be an artificial flavor.
20Can't wait to try it...
21I have never heard of this but I sure hope I can find it in my local supermarket. Sounds yum! My kids would love this. I bet this is full of sodium though.

24Wow. Americans love to put crappy stuff in their bodies. Did you look at the ingredients list? Why do you prefer eating weird chemically junk rather than real food?
25Intriguing.
26You can now get this in the UK too - http://buybaconnaise.co.uk/
