first!
Bacon in the sky with diamonds.
FIRST!!!!
dam… its a tie!
Bacon of sky?…So I guess some pigs do fly
Nah, it’s just the police helicopter.
You’ve made rasher statements.
That dr handle is a real ham!
But she’s never a boar.
That’sow pun runs get started.
I can’t say as I know whether Dr Handle gets tarted.
You dreadful lot, always with your pun-making barrow to push…
Which, of course, reminds me of this joke
And the bad spelling makes this version even funnier!
Bacon of sky? Is that anything like Mana from Heaven? And cake to whiskey sure sounds more impressive than water to wine.
It’s whisky, with a Y. The good Scottish stuff.
Oh, I never had anything against a well-aged single malt or even some blends, but Kentucky makes some pretty fine bourbon whiskeys, too. Maker’s Mark was my favorite. But it’s been 20 years now, thank God, since it was no longer agreeing with me. (Or I was no longer agreeing with it…)
Sounds like a waste of cake to me.
The Whisky is a lie!
and so is the Bacon
PORTAL REFERANCE WIN!
*ding* Dreadful Spelling Sprite says look up your second word, preferably in a reference book.
No it’s not! It has proof!
LOL! Well caught, sir!
Good grief, even Dreadful Pun Hell fairy must acknowledge that one.
No, the cake just lied about the “whisky.”
Whisky can lead to a lot of lies.
Cake can lie about many drinks, too.
Hahaha, that is hilarious
Custard or custard, such a tough decision…
I’ll take some of that bacon the sky’s having then. And give me a couple of million of whatever it is that’s free on the left side.
Ah, you want our signature dish: Fried pig bristles!
You recognize any of those flavors, Toilet Shark? That Cake to Whisky sounds pretty good, as long as they’re attempting to refer to the beverage and not a process with an implement…
I tried bacon of sky once, when a police helicopter crash-landed just short of the beach – they tasted of doughnuts and MacDonalds. I have infested custard (both types) on several occasions, and enjoyed it. Cake to whisky I’m not so keen on, not being a great appreciator or spirits (but a keen appreciator of cake), and of course ice-cream, well, I can’t help myself, I just always start to circle excitedly at the mere thought of it. *circles excitedly*.
Well, since you are an atheist, I’m not surprised you’re not too keen on spirits.
*sigh* I suspect that would probably be a misspelling of Skye.

As in, the Isle Of Skye off Scotland (pretty place, I intend to live there when I have my way
Where the bacon is sources.
There’s an Engrish menu collection online (not hard to find, google it) that lists “bacon of the entire sky.” That is one of the most baffliing pieces of Engrish I have yet encountered, and no one has proposed any mechanism for this that makes any sense.
Ooooh, I visited there last year? Wonderful place, although I’d have to learn gaelic to fit in. I could start a “Gaelrish Silly” website, which would initially consist completely of my own gaffes, goofs and stuff-ups. (Akshully, I think I would prefer to go and live in the Orkneys, where I can be a crazy dog lady living up a hill with a greenhouse, a shotgun and too many dogs.)
Trick question, no such thing as too many dogs.
And it’s a bit like Belgium, you go there thinking ‘I’ll have to learn Dutch and French to fit in around here’, but they all speak English anyway.
Take it from someone who knows, Belgium is THE country for people who don’t want to live abroad.
I think “cake to whisky” is actually one of Jesus’s lesser-known miracles.
Yes, and he was also known to turn palm leaves into marijuana. He was a party-hardy guy!
Having now threaded the edge (at least) of blasphemy, at least, let me state for the record that I am not advocating anyone use drugs. Nonetheless I do frequently get high with Jesus, and no narcotics are involved. If you get good at meditation, you will realize that you never really knew what getting high was when you were doing drugs (if you did).
No, I’m not getting all serious and long-winded again! Back to the fun! I get good and high on LOLZ here, too!!
Well, his is often depicted as having long hair and wearing a kaftan, and is reported as having campaigned to get humans to try to be more civilised to each other, so perhaps if people infer that he had hippy tendencies it’s not completely unexpected.
From a very hazy memory of many years ago,
Jesus was a Capricorn.
He ate organic food.
He believed in love and peace
And didn’t wear no shoes…
–Kris Kristofferson
We may also be grateful that they included ice cream to placate the Toilet Shark. I’m not much in the mood to be gnawed on, myself.
As long as you refrain from smearing ice cream on your body, you should be safe.
Well, there goes my fashion plan for the day! Now I don’t know what to wear! I’m all out of sherbet.
Is that an offer? :->
Which reminds me of a poem, the author of which I don’t know:
She offered her honor,
He honored her offer.
So all night long,
It was honor and offer.
Sounds like Ogden Nash, just a bit saltier.
I thought it went:
She offered her honour,
He honoured her offer,
So all night long
He was on her and off her.
Since it was told to me, I have no idea what the correct spelling would be!
Bacon of the Sky and Cake to Whisky do quite go together…
I’ll have an order of both! Heck with Lunch!
Start with waffles of road maintenance and coffee of blacktop sealer.
I think I shall. Thank you for the suggestion!
Maybe I’ll add some Strawberries of Park Bench to the meal =/
I prefer the Meat Loaf of the Andromeda Galaxy.
What about Meatloaf of Holly’s Mum? That, apparently, is a dish to remember. I think it’s Holly’s mum who does the memorable meatloaf, isn’t it?
Memorable but not edible. In her day, given enough material and time, she could have built a Meatloaf Pyramid to rival that cheap brick one in Giza. Poor lady died quite a while back so no more meatloaf to break one’s teeth on. She did make a mean Red Velvet cake from scratch though. Just not as many of them as of the meatloaves.
I’ll do anything for love, but I won’t do THAT.
Win for the Meatloaf ref.
And for making that song make some sort of sense!
But I doubt Holly’s mother is from Andromeda.
Had she been, it would have answered a lot of questions.
I can relate to that!!!!!!
Another Spanish dish – it’s called “tocino de cielo,” or “heavenly bacon.” It’s a really nice custard, a firm custard that has red and cream stripes so it looks kind of like bacon. There is not actually bacon in it
At last! An explanation that makes sense!
This website is extremely educational, but I find that sometimes it’s a little bit sad to discover that there’s actually a reasonable explanation for the funny.
It was obvious from the beginning that there was an explanation: the average English level in Spain (even in tourist resorts). Which is a BZE certificate: Below Zero English.
I like finding out the explanation, myself, but only after we’ve had a lot of fun with it.
Yes, it is Spanish. The two kinds of custard are in fact “natillas” (custard) and flan. “Bacon of sky” is a barbarian translation of the aforementioned “Tocino de Cielo”, which is a kind of custard made with egg yolks and sugar in such a fashion that the upper crust caramelises, giving it that bacon-like appearance. I find it delicious, very delicate in flavour and texture. It was originaly made by the nuns in Jerez from the egg yolks that were discarded from the wineries (egg whites are used as a floating, flexible cover to make Sherry, so that it doesn’t contact with air and thus prevents poisoning by undesired microbia).
The “cake to whisky” is another barbarism from “tarta al whisky”, which is nothing more than whisky-soaked cake or, more commonly, a cake decorated with whisky custard (custard mixed with a small quantity of whisky so that when it is cooked the alcohol evaporates and only the aroma remains).
Dude!! I wanna follow you around.
One more custard option and they’ve got a whole new Monty Python skit….
If they could work Spam in there, it wouldn’t hurt.
E.g., “Spam of the sky.”
Could I please have the Custard, custard, spam and spam with no spam?
We don’t have Spam in Spain. We have “magro Apis”, though.
I’ve tried to find magro Apis on the web and unfortunately my dismal lack of Spanish has prevented me from learning anything substantial about it, other than it is packed in cases and can be eaten with tomato and mayonaisse. Can you tell us a bit about it? (sorry for the unfunny question but I’m really curious about this.)
Well, it is just something similar to Spam but made by Spanish comany Apis. It has been the staple of many a working-class schoolboy’s break sandwich. It is also great in Russian (Olivier) salad.
It cannot be similar to Spam if it can be described as “great” in anything. Spam is an abomination, from the tips of it’s little pork toes, to the pink dye in the gelatine.
I agree with you on the spam issue, bluejade, but my husband wouldn’t. He was brought up on it. Come to think of it, that where most of us develop our tastes for essentially odd foods. We were brought up on them. So I learned to love lamb and don’t like spam. I learned to love chili but dislike meatloaf. I even loved cod liver oil at one time in my life.
They tried to feed me that stuff, also, and I ate it because I had no choice. Never again! Cod liver oil is fine by me if it’s cold and the outside of the bottle doesn’t have any rancid spillage. Death to Spam! Wait, already done…
Lamb isn’t weird at all, it’s good!!
Lamb is what Jesus ate at the Last Supper. And besides it tastes great.
He didn’t have Spam, and being Jesus, he could have turned the lamb into Spam if he’d wanted.
I rest my case.
The only things we know for sure were served at the Last Supper were bread and wine. The only lamb there was probably Jesus.
Win for beauty.
OMG they ate Jesus?
Holy Communion, Batman!!
Why am I picturing Communion with little slices of Spam??
Why not? I taught a religious education class where on the final day of class a priest came in and we took communion in the form of pizza and Coke.
There is a way with spam…thin slice…batter….deep-fried…spam fritters!…serve with mashed potatoes, veg and gravy..believe me its quite palatable.
Sounds like the proverbial heart attack on a plate!
A real coronary delight, indeed.
With a battered & deep fried Mars Bar for dessert, no doubt.
Better get a bucket…….
Hell of a way to treat a fine confectionery.
Did you know that what I described was actually available from some fish & chip shops? In Scotland, I think. I’d rather have haggis.
Some, but very few. You’d be more likely to find a deep-fried cheese and onion pizza.
Deep fried candy bars are available at any county fair in Kentucky. Another heart-friendly local delicacy is deep-fried bologna.
We’d not do bologna, but battered deep-fried sausage is another fish and chip shop specialty.
I will be visiting Scotland briefly in a couple of months and I am looking forward to sampling some haggis, however I prefer my mars bars room temp. the way nature intended…
Keep an eye out for square sliced sausage too; it’s basically ground beef formed in a mould.
Sounds interesting…sounds like the DIY sausage mcmuffins I used to make for my kids on the weekend.
Oh! You must try the New Jersey delicacy…”Scrapple”!
Space Ghost eats sky bacon.
Bacon in dessert ?
Sounds like something I would hear in a Jim Gaffigan tv special.
“You know what this Ice cream sundae needs?”
Baaaaaaaacooooooooon
for those who don’t know what I am talking about….
Someone’s bacon brownies!
Hey, KT, thanks for the video clip of Jim Gaffigan — I near p’d meself!
your welcome : )
I wonder what’s that dish that costs 0.00 € ?
Waiter! I want infinite orders of this!
Usually, bread.
And believe me, you DO NOT WANT to try southern Spanish restaurant bread.. I haven’t travelled much but I dobt I ever find anything worse. It is a miracle of baking how they make it to get stale barely 2 hours after leaving the oven.
I meant “doubt I’ll ever find”
Lol something is 0 euros to the left
Do they have mashed potatoes of cloud?
No. But they do happen to happen to have their “Potato of the Mashed Cloud” available on Tuesdays!
♫Gonna recommend to you
The bacon of the sky
That’s what you’re gonna eat with your pie♫
The one-hit wonders of the world should not be forgotten.
I assume you’ve heard the cover version of “Spirit in the Sky”, coincidentally by the Kentucky Headhunters? I don’t think this song will be forgotten any time soon.
No, actually I missed that one, even though the Kentucky Headhunters are, of course, rather popular here. I’ve liked some of their stuff and figure I’ll probably pick up a CD of theirs one of these days.
FYI it’s on a “Best of..” CD. called “Still Pickin’”. I only had to walk across the room to check.
Bacon of sky… The best kind!
Bacon of sky
Cake to whisky
And I thought water to wine was a miracle but it’s wimpy compared to these transformations. BTW will they give out the recipe because I tell you whiskey is expensive and cake is cheap
Screw the bacon in the sky, I am having a hard time choosing which custard to choose from. The second one just looks more appetizing.
I had “Bacon of the Heavens” at a resort in Punta Cana last week. It’s just their fancy name for flan. I was sad when no bacon was actually served with it.
ROFL! Toucinho do céu! I bet this is Portuguese. Toucinho do céu is a traditional portuguese dessert, and means something like “bacon from heaven”, but here the words for “sky” and “heaven” can be the same. It’s called like this because butter was expensive, so the monks who invented this dessert used the fat they took off the bacon.
Here’s a picture (and a recepy for those who can read portuguese).

Custard or custard? Complex that is decision. So Bacon of Sky will eat, and cake to turn whisky please? And the free that is thing on the left, my want million it.
When pigs fly!
Someone needs to get William Shatner to read that out loud.
Actually, “Bacon of sky” is just a literary translation of “Tocinillo del cielo” which is a delicious dessert in the latin world.
Image Google “Tocinillo del cielo” if you’re curious…
I only can see the menu list where is the price, on left side?? I wish every restaurant just put a menu without a price because no one like to see the price tag on it..
You must try the lovely culinary NJ treat known as….”Scrapple”!
