It's no secret that we love our rainbow food here on The Stir (as seen here and here), but the next new colorful phenomenon to hit our plates: rainbow bacon.
It appears that not only can bacon make everything taste better, but it can also make everything look better.
BaconToday.com reports Neil Caldwell has come up with a way to dye bacon in various vibrant colors, retaining their hues even after cooking. Here's a before and after shot:

Neil is keeping mum about it for now (no fun!), though I hope his secret recipe preserves the yummy taste as much as the color -- I'm pretty sure it calls for large, unhealthy amounts of food dye.
Do you think this looks tasty or gross? Would you try colored bacon?

I posted this a week or so ago most ppl said no. I wouldn't eat it though i did find it kind of neat though.

I'm gonna go with a big NO.
This does not even look appealing to me. And what are they using to make it that color?
I'd try it to see if it retains the taste, but it wouldn't be a normal thing by any means...like you said, large amounts of dye.
that is disgusting.
Does it come from the pig looking like this? No? Then NO! TOO MUCH PROCESSING IN EVERYTHING!
Ha! This is funny coming from me (seeing as I made the rainbow pancakes and cake in the other links) but that just does nothing for me. I mean really, isnt bacon already perfect enough as it is??? Sweet. Salty. Greasy. It just doesnt get any better! This is one of the few foods (well, I guess all meat is included in that) that I would say NO to dying. :)
No, thank you.
Gross. It can't be good for you.
Eww. Thats all Im gonna say.
