That has never been a problem for me. OTOH, squeaky hominy is something that I
abhor and abjure. One of the (many) reasons that I seldom eat hominy.
 
Have you noticed Burger King's $1 double cheeseburger promotion? I dunno how it
is on the right coast, but, they are also running $1.50 bacon double
cheeseburgers. I asked an acquaintance what was up with that. He told me that
the $1 doubles are a company mandated promotion ... and that it costs the store
over a dollar to serve the burger. By adding 10c worth of bacon to the mix and
charging 50c more they are into the profit side of the ledger. 

They are IMNSHO the best thing available at Burger Whop currently. Quite nice
for a fast food burger, enough bacon (cooked cripsy) to taste/feel, decent
amounts of catsup and mustard and really good dill pickles. Could use more/some
onion, though. Much better than either a McDouble or Double Cheese at Mickey
D's burger snatcher.

      Title: Bacon & Bean Soup
 Categories: Soups, Pork, Beans, Vegetables, Beef
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      3 sl Back bacon
      3    Ribs celery; chopped
      2 md Carrots; chopped
      1 md Onion; chopped
      1 c  Chopped turnip (opt)
      3 c  Beef broth
      1    Bay leaf
    1/2 ts Thyme
     19 oz Can kidney OR pinto beans
           - drained and rinsed
 
  Prep time: 25 minutes.
   
  When the vegetables are finely chopped it takes only a
  short simmering time to develop and blend the flavors
  of the bacon and assorted winter vegetables. The beans
  add character and a heartiness that is satisfying. And
  an added plus - the soup is better a day or two after
  it is made. Store it in a covered container in the
  refrigerator.
   
  Cut bacon into thin slivers. In a 12 cup saucepan,
  combine bacon,celery, carrots, onion, turnip, beef
  broth, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce
  heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until
  vegetables are tender. Add beans and continue to
  simmer 5-10 minutes or until hot, and flavors are
  blended. Remove the bay leaf and ladle into warm soup
  tureen or soup bowls.

  Makes 8 servings.
