Flaming Spinach SaladI'm all for a warm bacon dressing on spinach...but lighting it on fire? WTF?
4 c spinach torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 c sliced celery
4 T sliced green onions
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 T vinegar
2 T packed brown sugar
1/4 t salt
1/8 t tarragon leaves
pinch of pepper
2 T brandy
Place spinach, celery and onions in serving dish. Fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towel and reserve. Remove all but 1 T bacon fat from skillet. Stir brown sugar, vinegar, salt, tarragon and pepper into fat in skillet. Heat just to boiling, stir in bacon. Heat until bacon is hot, pour on spinach, celery and onions.
Heat brandy just until warm, ignite and pour on salad. Toss and serve immediately.

My husband would love this. He loves anything flaming. Me... not so much since I had a hair singeing incident.
Kat - Yup.
Betts - Eek, I never even thought of that! Definitely not on my to-try list.
I might have to try it. I'm tempted just by the absurdity (imo anyway) of lighting spinach on fire! I'll do my best to keep my hair out of the mix.
Hi Alecto -
If you try it, I want pictures :-)
