Chemical reaction that explains the appeal of the bacon sandwich

A complex chemical interaction in the meat is what produces the winning combination of taste and smell in a bacon buttie, according to an expert

...

At the centre of it all is the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between an amino acid and a reducing sugar which often requires heat. The acid and sugar react to release a huge amount of smells and flavours.

And this (which is a little disturbing to me):

Oscar Mayer brings home the bacon

In grocery stores, manufacturers have made it easier than ever to get your bacon fix, by offering a fully cooked product that takes no more than 30 seconds to prepare in the microwave.

...

A shelf-stable product that's stored out of the refrigerator section, we were all skeptical about the success of the bacon. It looked like bacon. It smelled like bacon. But would it actually taste like bacon?

One thick sliced version, in fact, was a runaway hit.

Just one point shy of the Hall of Fame (awarded to those products scoring 80 or higher out of 100 points), Oscar Mayer Thick Cut bacon ($4.99/2.1 ounces) took first place.

I've seen the pre-cooked bacon before but always in the refrigerated section. Bacon on the shelf seems a little odd, but when you consider all the preservatives, maybe it's not so weird.

On the plus side, someone (hey Fringey!) could keep it in a desk drawer for emergency snacking.

It's shelf-stable until opened. After that it needs to be refrigerated.

Why would you ever eat less than the entire package?

Or a really big font? Compared to Coletrane's joyous welcome back missive, many of the other purportedly welcoming posts appeared apathetic or downright cold. I am embarrassed for the board.

Exactly. I must be happier that she's back than others. I put a lot of thought into that giant font.

But you didn't include any bacon pictures so you lose points there.

You do not get points for that picture, or at least the concept in it.
