Angels on horseback is a hot [[appetizer]] made of [[oyster]]s wrapped with [[bacon]]. In the [[United Kingdom]] they can also be a [[savoury (small dish)|savoury]], the final course of a traditional British formal meal. They are somewhat similar to [[Devils on horseback]] and the Midwestern version of [[pigs in a blanket]], a traditional dish of the American [[Midwest]]. [[Scallops]] wrapped in bacon appears to be a variation on this dish. |

[[Pigs in a blanket|Pigs in a Blanket]] is a dish commonly served in the [[United States]] and [[United Kingdom]]. In the United States, this dish is normally made by [[baking]] hot dogs or [[Vienna sausage]]s wrapped in [[Biscuit (bread)|biscuit]] or [[Dough|croissant dough]]. However in the United Kingdom, it is typically made by wrapping sausages or [[chipolata]]s in bacon, and then baking them.<ref name=":4">{{Cite news|url=http://visionlaunch.com/who-invented-pigs-in-a-blanket/|title=Who Invented Pigs in a Blanket|last=Zorn|first=Marc|date=2014-08-05|work=Vision Launch|access-date=2018-09-18|language=en-US}}</ref> This dish is believed to have first been found in [[Betty Crocker]]’s Cooking for Kids Cookbook, which was published in 1957.<ref name=":4" /><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://foodimentary.com/2012/04/24/origins-of-pigs-in-a-blanket/|title=Origins of Pigs in a Blanket|last=Hopkins|first=John-Bryan|date=2012-04-24|work=Foodimentary|access-date=2018-09-21|language=en-US}}</ref> It is considered a very popular dish, normally served as an appetiser or hors d’oeuvre.

Strictly speaking angels on horseback (and the original UK form of pigs in a blanket) are an [[hors d'œuvre]], unlike the US variant of pigs in a blanket, which are [[canapé]]s, since the latter always involve a bread base or wrapping, and angels on horseback are not by necessity served on [[Toast (food)|toast]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Palmatier | first = Robert Allen | title = Food: A Dictionary of Literal and Nonliteral Terms | publisher = Greenwood | year = 2000 |

The majority of these videos have gone viral, earning a large amount of Youtube views. One of the videos, titled “Will It Ice Cream Sandwich? Taste Test” features them eating an [[ice cream sandwich]] consisting of [[vanilla ice cream]] wrapped in two bacon weaves. This video is part of their “Will It” series, where the two hosts, Rhett and Link, taste a variety of modifications on a certain dish, with increasingly unpleasant modifications, to see whether or not the modifications can taste good, and hence, “if it will.” In this video, they described the bacon ice cream sandwich as “lots of bacon, lots of vanilla ice cream, lots of goodness, sandwiched together.”<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj3qoo750_I|title=Will It Ice Cream Sandwich?

Within this episode, they recreated various meals such as [[hamburger]]s, [[onion ring]]s, [[Soft drink|soda]], and a [[banana split]], replacing every element of said dishes with some form of bacon. For the hamburger, they “built a bacon wrapped, double bacon, bacon cheese, bacon burger” which they called “The Bacon Apocalypse” and the “Bacon Acolypse”. Furthermore, the burger has “two bacon-wrapped buns, two bacon wrapped patties,... three types of bacon toppings, Canadian bacon, [[pancetta]], and classic [[pork belly]]… bacon cheese, bacon spread.” The burger was then served with a side of “bacon rings”, which was their take on onion rings, consisting of fried rings of bacon. After tasting the dish, Rhett described it as “incredible”. They then drank bacon soda, served with “bacon grease ice cubes” and a bacon wrapped straw. Finally, for dessert, they had a banana split made out of bacon, which they called “Baconana Split.” The banana split consisted of bacon flavoured [[ice cream]], bacon wrapped bananas, bacon chocolate, caramel bacon, and candied bacon. Link described the dish as “amazing”.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3P1zSRa6SU|title=Bacon Only Meal Taste Test {{!}} Too Much Of A Good Thing?|date=2017-12-04|website=Youtube|access-date=2018-10-22}}</ref> |

[[Bacon mania|Bacon Mania]] has had profound effects all around the world, but more specifically, around the [[United States]]. In September 2010, a Chicago Mercantile Exchange report reported that since 1998, there has been a steady increase in [[pork belly]] prices, the cut of meat with which bacon is made of. Furthermore, they also reported that as of August 2010, frozen pork belly stocks have dropped significantly, hitting their lowest level since October 2007.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2010-09-10|title=Daily Livestock Report|url=http://www.dailylivestockreport.com/documents/dlr%209-10-2010.pdf|journal=CME Group|volume=8|pages=1}}</ref> This is believed to be due to the fact that buyers used to purchase frozen pork belly when it was still considered a “seasonal treat”, and resell them at a high price when demands for them were high. However, in recent years, people no longer viewed bacon as a “seasonal treat”, and instead consumed them year-round. This lead for the demand for frozen pork bellies to decline, and an increase in the demand for fresh pork belly that would be turned into bacon.<ref name=":16">{{Cite news|url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/why-are-we-so-crazy-for-bacon-20784529/|title=Why Are We So Crazy for Bacon?|last=Shen|first=Aviva|date=2012-01-17|work=Smithsonian|access-date=2018-10-16|language=en}}</ref> |

Research has also found that bacon is treated with a chemical called [[sodium nitrite]]. This chemical preserves the red colour of the meat, keeping it looking fresh as opposed to turning grey. However, this chemical has been thought to lead to a number of health risks, including being a carcinogen. On the other hand, sodium nitrite has also been found to prevent [[botulism]] by limiting [[Bacteria|bacterial growth]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27EBed9rzs8|title=The Science of BACON!|date=2015-06-25|website=Youtube|access-date=2018-10-22}}</ref> |

Bacon-wrapped foods are foods that are prepared by being covered in bacon. They may be baked, fried, or grilled. Popular bacon-wrapped dishes include angels on horseback, devils on horseback, and pigs in blankets. Bacon has long been used for barding roasts, especially game birds.
Description
[edit]Bacon wrapping is a style of food preparation, where bacon is wrapped around other ingredients or dishes,[1] and either grilled, fried, or baked.
Many of the wrapped foods, such as livers and asparagus, cook more quickly than bacon does, and when preparing such dishes it is necessary to part-cook the bacon separately, before wrapping the filling and cooking the complete dish.[2][3] Bacon-wrapped foods can include filet mignon, chicken nuggets, pork chops, tenderloin and shrimp.[4]
Bacon wrapped dishes
[edit]Bacon roll-ups
[edit]Bacon roll-ups, or simply rolls, are rolls made of bacon with a wide range of fillings from peanut butter,[5] through asparagus,[6] to cheese and chutney.[7]
Angels on horseback
[edit]
Angels on horseback is a British dish of shucked oysters wrapped with bacon and grilled, and often skewered. It became popular in the Victorian era.[8][9]
Angels on horseback is a hot appetizer made of oysters wrapped with bacon. In the United Kingdom they can also be a savoury, the final course of a traditional British formal meal. They are somewhat similar to Devils on horseback and the Midwestern version of pigs in a blanket, a traditional dish of the American Midwest. Scallops wrapped in bacon appears to be a variation on this dish.
Strictly speaking angels on horseback (and the original UK form of pigs in a blanket) are an hors d'œuvre, unlike the US variant of pigs in a blanket, which are canapés, since the latter always involve a bread base or wrapping, and angels on horseback are not by necessity served on toast.[10]
Bacon-wrapped scallops
[edit]Bacon-wrapped scallops appear in American recipes starting at the turn of the 20th century, sometimes called "pigs in blankets".[11] They became very popular starting in about 1980.[12]
Devils on horseback
[edit]
Devils on horseback is a British dish of bacon-wrapped prunes. The prunes are stuffed with chutney, wrapped in bacon, and grilled.[9]
Devils on horseback are a hot appetizer or savoury.
Recipes vary but in general they are a variation on angels on horseback, made by replacing oysters with dried fruit. The majority of recipes contain a pitted prune (though dates are sometimes used) stuffed with mango chutney and wrapped in bacon. This is then baked in the oven and quite often served on toast, with watercress.[citation needed]
Other recipes stuff the prune with cheese, almonds, smoked oysters or other things in place of the mango chutney. Other versions again use liver pieces in place of the prunes.
Devils on horseback are commonly served as part of a Christmas feast.[citation needed]
Pigs in blankets
[edit]The British dish popular at Christmas consists of sausages wrapped in bacon and baked.[13]
Rumaki
[edit]Rumaki consists of water chestnuts and chicken livers wrapped in bacon. It was introduced at the Tiki-style restaurant Don the Beachcomber in the 1940s.
At state fairs
[edit]Bacon-wrapped food is popular at state fairs. In 2013, the California State fair served bacon wrapped hot dogs, bacon-wrapped mushrooms, bacon-wrapped turkey legs, and bacon-wrapped cheesecake.[14] In 2016, the North Carolina State Fair served bacon wrapped grilled cheese.[15] In 2018, the Minnesota State Fair had bacon-wrapped pork belly.[16]
