Is this taking "comfort food" a bit too literally?

There is nothing comfortable
about hot bacon on bare skin, believe me. Unless you're in to that kind of thing, anyway.

I have no idea where to even start finding a prefix for "-philia" to describe that
(Someone prod Lampito.)

Does make me wonder why you're familiar with the feel of hot bacon on your bare skin...you weren't trying to recreate the sex scene from Hot Shots, were you?

I've never seen Hot Shots
but I believe I know what you're talking about, and no. I was drunkenly cooking bacon in my habitual state of drunken undress, and I knocked the pan off the hob. Managed to avoid the pan and most of the oil, but dropped a lot of lava-hot bacon on my foot. I sobered up very quickly and decided to have toast instead.

You mean to say you just threw the bacon away?
(Still, sounds like you had a luckier escape than I did.)

A shocking waste, I know
but I judged myself too preoccupied with the agonising pain and blurry round the edges from booze to safely cook it. I'm just glad it landed on my foot rather than any of the rest of me!

EDIT - that was possibly even sillier. At least I had drunkenness as an excuse!

That is a good point - naked cooking is probably a fairly hazardous undertaking at the best of times
Although your bare skin is probably a far superior wipe-clean surface to most clothing.

(And yes, I am a plonker.)
