Orange Marmalade and Bacon Sandwich on Toasted Pumpernickel

What has this got to do with a car show or event. Keep reading, it will come to you.

Have you ever been asked if you like something and said no, and yet you have never tried it. I watched a Show on the Food Channel the other night and this guy said that his favorite food was an Orange Marmalade and Bacon Sandwich on Toasted Pumpernickel, I cringed at the thought of such a weird thought and combination of flavors and said no way would I ever like it.

I then thought about the ingredients of this "Comfort Food" and said alone, I like them all. As with anything I dared myself to try it and now have one more thing that I can actually say is absolutely fantastic. This sandwich is so different with the sweet sour marmalade working with and against the smokey saltiness of the bacon and the tangy rye toasty bread. I thought I died and went to heaven. I have a friend who also doesn't like a lot of different things but has never tried them and over the years she has tried many things at our behest and found that she actually likes more foods than ever. Including the marmalade and bacon combo.

As it was recently posted here, I promised myself and few others I would stop the sniping at HotKarz. This is not Sniping it's a full on Frontal Assault.

Bill Vaughn, you my friend, are way off base to say a show is bad when you have never been and have jumped to the assumption that a list of ingredients (flier) is the sum total of the Show. You yourself have stated that you have never been to the Vineyard Church Car Show and "missed it", yet you condemn it because of the combination of ingredients does not appeal to your palate, yet the ingredients that make a car show individually are all there and are very appealing to your and other peoples palates.

You get to drive your car, you get to show your car to people who have probably never seen it and would like to and you get to sit with friends in the fine weather for most of the day. You have time and time again stated loud and clear, from your blog that the Trophy is not important. If it is not important then why don't you try the show and try to have a good time or some fun rather than look for the bad before it actually happens.


I have never been to the Vineyard Show. I will be at the Vineyard Show so that I can honestly say it was a mess or a fun day. I will also be at Shaw's Ridge even if last years awards were a Chinese fire drill without the Chinese, because the rest was fun.
