Chef got it. Chef grew up in a Jewish household while a teenager. The refrigerator was never without bacon.

They're just cheese puffs, Jeff. Easy to make, easy to bake. Real easy to eat too many. :D

I don't know. I've read and heard lots of quibbling about how to get the right texture, which cheese to use, how to pipe, how to bake....

Were we separated at birth?

With maybe just a little sprinkle of fresh black pepper on top just before serving?

Corned beef on pumpernickle, some good deli mustard, coleslaw, potato salad and a good pickle! Some days you could sub pastrami for the corned beef.
