Bacon Equation and Cheese

If you're going to bring mathematics into this question, then you must rewrite the BE&C equation as be + c.

As algebra tells us, the conjugate (direct opposite) of be + c is be - c.

Notice that the conjugate is be - c, so simply having bacon and eggs is not enough. You must first have the trio, then cruelly rip the cheese away from its bretheren.

OMG that's revolting.

Sadly I cannot do better, although I've never been to a state fair so I lack the research. The Good Morning Burger from the Simpsons comes close, although I think your doughnut as a bun twist puts this one over the top.

MONTE CRISTO
A delicious combination of ham and turkey, plus Swiss and American cheeses on wheat bread. Lightly battered and fried until golden. Dusted with powdered sugar and served with red raspberry preserves for dipping. ????

I should have known better than to read a food-related post while recovering from a very nasty bout of food poisoning, but I have to tell you all, that picture nearly sent me back to the toilet.

I don't like fried eggs but that picture still makes me want to try a donut sandwich... sans fried egg.

Something that comes really close to this is McDonald's McGriddle breakfast sandwich. I get sick just thinking about it.

My opinion of the Food Network has just gone down several notches.

Greg-your math skills are much appreciated. What is (be+c) factorial, in your opinion?
Charlie-the McGriddle definitely came up as we gazed upon this glorified version this morning.

You can't factor be + c, that's a prime expression. Same with be - c. If you decide to multiply (be + c) and (be - c), you get [(be)^2 - c^2], which is twice the cheese ripping.

Oh. Factorial. I misread that, sorry.

If you were to create the factorial of be + c, you would have to consider including every single production process that brings you each individual variable.

For example, the factorial of "b" is "pig x slaughter x assortment into bacon slices x purchase x frying"

The factorial of "e" is "chicken x gamete production x packaging into carton x purchase x frying"

The factorial of "c" is "cow x milk production x coagulation x aging x purchase x melting"

The factorial of (be + c) would therefore be ([psapf][cgppf] + [cmcapm]), in my humble opinion.

Well, since what it is you are looking for is the opposite of a bacon egg and cheese, as a former vegitarian of ten years I have your solution.

Tofu, thats where the future is...Tofu

Take Firm tofu, and scramble and season (just like it was an egg), Sprinkle in some Bac-Os (They are actually vegan, last I checked), Then for your cheese you are going to make a sauce using brewers yeast (look it up).

Last post I'll make on this subject, I swear...

I was thinking, after my factorial post, that each aspect is almost like an aspect of a greater cycle. Thinking upon the imagery of threes and an infinite nature, I decided that be + c could therefore be likened to a great greasy triquetra. The triquetra has Celtic origins, where it represents The Morrigan, a trio of valkyrie-esque war goddesses, but the symbol was reappropriated by Christians to represent the Holy Trinity. Therefore, the opposite of the BC&E is....Satan. Case closed.
