Potlucks Are Fun With Unique Bacon Gifts

By Peter Perry


These days, everyone is finding more reason to celebrate different stages of life. Whether it be making a change or bringing in an addition, people will choose almost any reason to have a gathering with good food. This gives some an excuse to try something new or share something out of the ordinary with others. Things like dessert displays, exotic vegetable trays, or unique bacon gifts can definitely get the conversation started.

Often when people celebrate, their diet is momentarily forgotten. Many who consider themselves foodies often know there is a boundary when it comes to maintaining good health. This is why they may use a celebration to cheat because they know there is something that is worth tasting. Taking a short break from a strict diet cannot hurt anyone.

Whether it be sitting at home with friends watching a movie while eating chips and bacon ranch dip, or at a neighborhood block party, good times make the gloomy days better. This is a mindset that more people are adopting these days for a number of reasons. To this type of person, having their favorite food and drink while doing what they enjoy brings balance.

One reason that a person may choose to do this is that eating brings pleasure and when life has moments of pleasure, it is easier to endure difficult moments. A good example of this is the number of holiday that are made up every year. Someone may create an event, or encourage people get in on the celebration and it may involve a particular dish. In most groups, there is usually someone who routinely arranges such get togethers and there is someone on board who can bring enough food for everyone.

Party food normally consists of something that is indulgent to the taste buds and maybe not part of a regular balanced meal. This can be the tang of buffalo wings, the salty sweetness of pig candy, or something deep fried. One bite can make a person forget their troubles and they will keep digging in until there are none left.

People who like to experiment in the kitchen may get pleasure from creating a culinary creation that is sure to get attention. Food trends like bacon bombs, donut towers, and vegetable sculptures can make a nice centerpiece but sometimes a person may not want to dig in right away. Some party foods, like layer dips, are not only easy to make but inexpensive.

Even if there is no party or gathering, sometimes it feels good to gift small tokens of appreciation to people we care about. This can be a co worker, neighbor, or as a reward to someone that has done a good deed. Anyone that receives a box of pig candy, salsa basket, or a gift card is sure to enjoy and think of the giver in a positive light. This is also a good way to remember someone.

For some, any time there is good news happening, that alone is a reason to celebrate with food. Whether it be a good mark received or consideration for a promotion, just stopping to indulge in a treat can make a day special. Sometimes people may feel they deserve to have their favorite snack, even when their day is not going so great and they need to feel better.
