All my life I've heard how wonderful filet mignon is - rich people
seem to rave about it, it's always the most expensive thing on the

tasting it (I'm not a big red meat fan and it always seemed too
dear). Tonight, there was a sale on it at the market - 4 nice, large
pieces of meat for only $10, so I though, what the heck, let's give
it a try.
I *HATED* it! The bacon-y taste was yucky, (I don't like hickory
bacon - or much of any kind of bacon, but I thought if I took it off
first it wouldn't affect the steak).

OB. I offered my steak to the owners and they all turned their noses
up at it also!!

I guess we all just have plebian taste! ;>

I have to agree here. I love the *meat* of filet mignon, but the bacon
totally ruins it for me. I love bacon too, but I find that it's flavour
is just too strong and overwhelms all other flavours. When I eat meat,
I want to taste the meat, not bacon! For this reason I also never eat
bacon burgers. Bacon is for breakfast, IMO, and nothing else.

What if the meat was wrapped in something like pancetta instead? I'm not a
big red meat fan, either, so I've never tried the bacon wrapped filet
mignon. I'm just thinking that some form of thin ham around it might be
better than bacon.
