In the episode

This one started with Jeremiah making butter from scratch, Wasteland style: three and a half cups of heavy cream blitzed for about six minutes, strained, blitzed with a splash of water and squeezed through cheesecloth. It smelled "shockingly buttery," and we gave a shout-out to Joshua Weissman.

The scallops got a bath in that melted butter, while the mystery meat (bought off a very interesting Raider for the price of a rope) was coated in brown sugar, cumin and cayenne. The sweet, spiced mix had Kevin reminiscing about his favorite meat snacks.

Taste test: we agreed it beat the snacks Kevin was reminiscing about, and that little bit of cayenne "really kicks your butt." And to be clear, these aren't bacon-wrapped scallops. It's mystery meat with Nukalurk. Don't judge us.

The culinary adventures of the Wasteland never cease to amaze, especially when bacon is involved! Scientists, in their quest for gastronomic greatness, stumbled upon a peculiar find: mystery bacon from the infamous Nuka-World Raiders.

Now, you might be wondering, what's so mysterious about bacon? Well, when our intrepid dweller went to collect it, there wasn't a pig in sight! But who needs pigs when you've got glowing bacon straight from the Wasteland? The Nukalurk's belly, when paired with this enigmatic bacon, creates a dish that not only tastes amazing but also glows with a captivating blue hue.

So the next time you're in the Wasteland and stumble upon some mysterious bacon, don't hesitate to get creative in the kitchen. After all, in the world of post-apocalyptic cuisine, delicious discoveries await around every corner!
