US gourmets sizzle in bacon-scented underwear

When I was in the 10th grade ...

... circa mid-1970s-ish, "edible undies" were all the rage amongst teenagers.

Bacon was one option. It was Granny Smith "fruit leather", made in the form of panties, and hung in a smoker with apple wood for half an hour or so (if I remember correctly). Strangely enough, it was quite edible. So was she. Only tried it once. Slippery is good, super-sticky not so much.

Today, if I cared, I could create the same thing as the OA in my smokehouse. Nylon/Rayon (and other plastics) pick up smoke like nobody's business, and it's damned difficult to wash out. The clothes I use when loading the smoker hang in the laundry room, and never enter the house.
