Deviled Eggs . .

I love eggs almost as much as I love corn. My 1961 1st Edition Betty Crocker New Picture Cook Book plops open to the page with this Deviled Eggs recipe. I know the recipe lists lots of options, but look what's in the list—bacon! It is great with bacon, and there's a benefit to using bacon beyond taste: if there is a lump left in the yolks when you mash them, it will be hard to detect hiding out with the chunks of bacon. I have never tried any of the other ingredients. Bacon is perfect, thank you.
