Perhaps home-made bacon’s greatest appeal to me was the possibility of slicing it to whatever thickness my heart desires. Actually, my heart desires me not to cut bacon that thick. But my stomach will really be into it. Speaking of stomachs, home-made bacon offered me another once-in-a-short-lifetime opportunity: the chance to speculate on pork bellies.

Simma down now, jus simma down. Yes, he's from Iowa but in the comments it says he's transplanted to the Northwest.

So, you're making bacon for this guy? While at the same time wearing bacon? Well, whatever floats your boat.

I believe I have a gem of an idea for a new food product. I've seen all the soy-substitute meat products, and it got me to thinking...

What is it that sells a product? A catchy name, of course! And I have one: Steak-un.

It's imitation bacon made out of stratified, compressed strip-steaks. All the bacony flavor, none of the bacon! It'll be the new Folgers Crytsals.

They used to sell tofu in tube shape, and they called it Not Dogs

I suggested they should sell it in patty shape, and call it Shamburgers

[hi] In my quest to change my diet, I had my first shamburger (Boca)yesterday for lunch. We were out of bread, so just had it nuked with ketchup and a mini dill on the side. Texture was a little crumbly, but flavor was good. They will be a part of my regular menu from now on. Doubt I'll try the fake chicken though, since regular is fine for you. I'm not going veggie, just healthy. [/jack]

have you ever heard a hog being butchered?

It's rather unforgettable.

and besides . . . bacon is bad for you.

Drat!

Have you noticed a reduction in bacon quality? I've been unimpressed lately, but not enough to make my own... yet.

That is probably the answer.

I just love bacon. Breakfast? Good. Lunch? Good. Dinner? Good. I am hungry now and think I will have to go with the BLT. No, the bacon cheeseburger.

My cheeseburger was sub-par and the bacon was like the microwave crap. I should have gone to a better place.

I actually make my own bacon all the time.

you just use pork bellies that you brine, then its off to the smoker for flavor.
You can also use pork roasts to make Buckboard Bacon, which is very simiar to Canadian bacon.

I bought my Dad a new coal stove today. The stove place carries those egg deals you folks like so much.
