We still have a lot of bacon in our freezer. Albertson's had a great sale (1 lb for $1.99) and we stocked up.

The window does open. I could pass the bacon out the window and avoid Toy Mountain.

If it isn't REAL bacon, it isn't bacon!!!

I am shuddering at the thought of precooked bacon. Unless they are bacon bits in the jar. Not the fake stuff either!

It is real bacon. Have you not seen it? We love it. So quick and easy and no mess.

Why?

This

40278b2a-ad3f-4bc0-97c6-eec1c55f91c0

And this

HormelBaconBox_lg.jpg

Are the exact same thing.

No different. One is cooked and ready to eat. One is not.

Let me count the ways

It's never perfectly crisp
It never tastes like fresh fried bacon
I despise microwave cooking
only cheap brands make the already cooked bacon.

I only buy fresh cut think bacon from the butcher.

I'm a bacon snob.

Well. I have had bacon fresh from the pig and from the store shelf.

Bacon is bacon.

The only difference is the amount of smoke added.

 Absolutely not.  Not all pigs are created equal.  Different breeds have different fat contents and flavors.

Ok. I am not going to argue bacon. It's ridiculous.

I will say that hog jowl bacon is better than belly bacon. But I really doubt very many of you would eat it.

Home grown bacon is the bomb. We used to butcher our own. There is no comparison. Bacon from the store does taste different. I don't know why, it just does.

I use the bottom one if I need four slices of bacon for a recipe.  It's quick and easy.

No. I am saying different cuts of the same pig may have different or more potent flavors.

 

But bacon from a white pig is the same and bacon from a black pig.

Bacon from the pig in a barnyard and bacon from a pig in a massive pig farm is the same bacon.  

Hog jowl bacon comes from the face of the pig.

And I am not going to continue to argue this. It's bacon. Not world politics.

Our bacon always tasted the same. Good.

We would get a slab of it and cut our own. Tasted the same as the bacon from the grocery store.

Sausage now. That can taste a lot different. I love a home mix. Grandpa done something to his that was just amazing. Just the right amount of heat and sage and whatever else he put in it.

Never could bring myself to eat the brains. Grandpa loved them. Scrambled them up with eggs. I just couldn't do it.

Gloucestershire Old Spot taste better than commercial pigs. But Ossabaw Island Hogs are my tasty favorite.

You're right. You are a snob.

Our pigs were pigs. They were bought at the auction. Brought home and fattened up and slaughtered in the back yard and drained and butchered right then and there.

On the first day it was below freezing and stayed that way for the day.

Neither do I. But when we picked up milk I picked up a little recipe book from the store. Guess what this month's focus is on? That's right. BACON! They did bacon wrapped strawberries, bacon wrapped potatoes, bacon wrapped peppers, and bacon wrapped chicken tenders.

 I'll eat them if they're really crispy.  I don't like them in casseroles with a bunch of canned soup dumped on them where they're all mushy.

I don't like mush. I don't like anything all mushed together. Like noodle casserole. If the noodles are all mushy and gummy then no. And I hate everything creamed. The only cream soups I use are in my King Ranch Chicken and green bean casserole.
