I lost sleep over this!
I couldn’t imagine what insane shit was going on to turn duck into bacon. Transubstantiation?
I went back to the restaurant and checked. The menu was missing a comma. It wasn’t “duck bacon” it was “duck, bacon, and other stuff”. They left out the comma!
My dumb ass spent all night thinking about it.
Regardless, it was delicious.
Sorry to cause lost sleep – it’s a regular and problematic thing for me.
But, that doesn’t lessen the awesomeness a whit.

Love me some duck bacon….. yum yum, Don with a grin!

Relatedly: it ain’t “it’s” if “it is” doesn’t fit. I am appalled at how so many internet scribes think plural and possessive are interchangeable.
And, someone please tell all the various Federal agencies that 12AM and 12PM are not times. Gah! I got HR called on me for refusing to use the nonexistent times on my timesheet. FWIW, HR agreed with me but said we had to comply with Federal usage or some such horsehockey.
