Bacon! How to make it. [CBD]
— Open Blogger

Bacon, to most Morons, is a mystery, sort of like the female orgasm or why Obama is president.

But it's a good mystery, because it tastes so damned good, and now is so damned easy to make!

Yeah, Obama's presidency doesn't taste very good at all.

2 Awesome. With the simultaneous price escalation and quality degradation of bacon, I've been laying off of it altogether. Maybe I'll give these instructions a whirl some time.

4 Anyone know what differences there are in the various European styles and US style bacon? I have Brit friends that think US style bacon is inferior, although if they're trying the store bought packaged paper thin and fatty stuff I can see where they're coming from.

Awesome. With the simultaneous price escalation and quality degradation of bacon, I've been laying off of it altogether. Maybe I'll give these instructions a whirl some time.

You have to special order fresh pork belly in my area...and I assume it's pretty much the same for everyone else, which makes it more expensive. We know the head chef at a local Hotel who regularly prepares a pork belly dish at the Hotel, and he has to get the pork bellies from NYC. I don't know of any store in the area that will accept a special order like that.

It's not exactly in grocery stores here, but most of the Butchers around town carry pork belly.

They tend to sell it to you in a just a couple of pounds at a time (presumably because lots of people try this and a few give up.)

Me, I did this once or twice, using the cold smoke method (where you generate the smoke in a second smoker and pipe it into the one with the bacon.

I used a wet apple juice based rub shamelessly stolen from Alton Brown, it turned out pretty good. Then I got my LDL levels and had to stop .

I'm going to have to find one. Heck, the local Agway sells curing salt, I have a smoker. It would be fun...and delicious.

I don't buy store bacon anymore, as we found a tiny shop a few miles from the house that sells their own bacon, at more than a dollar per pound cheaper than even the off-brand stuff at the supermarket.

103 I'm young enough that microwaved (between layers of paper towels) is "the way Mom used to cook it." So I like crispy bacon, sue me. Some teenager invented a "hanger and bowl" style thing they sell at walmart, you hang the bacon from t-shaped hangers over a bowl, drape a paper tower over it, microwave it, and not only do you get crispy bacon, you get a bowl of *extremely* flavorful bacon grease for other uses. Not all brands of store bought like this method. Hormel is perfect this way, oscar meyer is kind of meh, for example. Homemade may vary. Thin cuts cook more evenly (only because thick cuts often vary). Many people consider it all blasphemy, but they can cook it the way they want it, I ain't gonna stop them.

104 The New York Times' public editor criticized the paper's obituary for the late Michael Hastings, saying that it did not capture "what a distinctive figure he was in American journalism." I think most people already knew he was a weasel that left a trail of broken and burnt sources. Margaret Sullivan, the public editor, also wrote that the section which questioned the article "got more space than what many consider to be essential information about Mr. Hastings: There were two sentences about how the IG disputed some of Hastings quotes. So, that was about 1-2% of the article. They just can't stand that he was seen without rose colored glasses. The fact that the "public editor" jumped right on this tells me how biased she is.

But as lunchmeat it's not bad. I buy the pre-coked oscar meyer bacon, but only because it's $1.50-1.99 at the discount store. Otherwise I wouldn't, it's kind of mediocre. Good on sandwiches, though, my crispy bacon not so great when it's falling all over the place in little pieces.

149 If you can get a hold of some heritage pork, get it. It's good. It's the real stuff, not the genetically modified lean white stuff that is commercially raised by the big producers. The pigs are smaller and the meat is pink to reddish and well marbled and the best part is it has flavor and is moist not dry. You can usually find it at the farmers markets.

172 My Granny ran a farm all by herself. She raised Chickens, Hogs and Cattle. Kept a two acre truck patch she plowed with a mule and supported the whole thing with calves sold, hogs butchered and smoked, fresh eggs, fresh cornmeal, masa, and tamales. She had a smoke house that had been used since 1934. Her bacon was the best I ever ate and she had bacon at every meal. She made cornbread on the stove top by heating lard in a cast iron skillet and pouring in the batter then covering it with a lid that was already hot off another burner. She made most of her own clothing and did all this until she was 84 and fell dead while plowing her garden. I lived with her for two years(2-4 yrs old) while my Dad was stationed in Europe. She never had electricity or an indoor toilet.
