The best bacon is the bacon on your plate.

The best bacon is free bacon.

danish bacon > american bacon.

it's cut from the loin rather than the belly so it's meatier, this shit has been one of our primary exports for centuries.

I think thats called back bacon. One day I'd like to try it.

My preference is for real bacon. Non of this oscar meyer, kraft, or other mass produced bacon. These types of bacon are not even smoked, they are injected with a smoke flavor.

My preference is for naturally smoked thick cut bacon. There is a butcher here near me that owns a smokehouse and his bacon is phenomenal. The flavor is markedly better than mass produced crap. For instance my girlfriend made some potato leek soup other day that calls for 2 slices of bacon. We used this natural bacon but the soup came out way to bacony and smoky. The author is the soup recipe said that she uses cheap bacon. When we used only 1 slice of natural bacon, the soup was the way it was supposed to taste.

I go to a local meet shop and tell the owner how I want it.

Lean or fatty. Thick or thin cut. I have options on how it was cured.

$4-5/lb

Can not stand turkey bacon, bland. Bacon needs flavoring that comes with the fat and curing.

There is no such thing as turkey bacon. There is a product that has that name, but there is no Turkey bacon.

Kirkland bacon is ok and cheap but that's about it. We skip over it and buy the thick apple smoked bacon that's next to it. It's little more expensive but twice the taste and quality of the Kirkland bacon. Everyone pretty much knows Trader Joe's thick uncured applewood smoked bacon and the thick applewood smoked bacon at Costco are the two best bacons you can buy at national retailer. Only the retards who eat turkey bacon would think Kirkland thin bacon is tasty. I guess compared to crap turkey bacon, anything would taste good.

What if the Turkey was grown only eating bacon?

Then someone wasted a shitload of a bacon.

I have yet to find anything as good as the butcher has.

<< outhouse applewood smoked special reserve is the best bacon.


yes i make my own.

 

[Leros]

I find that uncured bacon is so much better than the typical stuff you get. Uncured bacon melts in your mouth. *drools*

 

[OutHouse]

^^ i dont care for uncured bacon.

That's Canadian Bacon.

If it is smoked - it is called Back Bacon.

If it is just cured (brine) and not smoked - it is called Canadian or Peameal Bacon.

I've tried a lot, and like Patrick Cudahay the best. it just always seems to cook up perfect and tastes great.

At the start of the Summer I got 1 of my 4 seasonal packages from 1 of the 2 Bacon of the month clubs I belong to. It wasn't labeled, but it was deeeeeelicious. But for how much it cost I'd have to pass on it 99/100 times. Bacon of the Month clubs are maybe the greatest food idea ever. I belong to 2 and am always getting new and different bacons. Only thing that sucks is a lot of them are limited, or with no included info. So you'll never find if you want more. And $$$ wise they're horrible deals.

 

[waggy]

bacon of the month club?

hmm

I find Farmer John's bacon to be extra delicious...

Daily's Meats have a couple real good premium thick sliced and center cut bacon products. They have an 'ends and pieces' pack that sometimes yields a really good bargain. Basically, it's what is left over from trimming/packing their premium bacon products. They jam all these ends and pieces into a package and its pretty decently priced, too. Sometimes, it inconsistent and you get more fat but we've had some packages that were like WOW, I can't believe we got this much for $6.99. So if you buy the ends and pieces pack and feel like you got a little ripped-off, the next one could make-up for it. It's the nature of the thing.

I just found some juniper smoked and dried back bacon, yummy.

just bought Costco applewood smoked bacon for the first time.
yum!

its slightly more than Costco low sodium bacon but I think its the best bang for buck bacon!

 

[DisturbedRamm]

love me some turkey bacon, hardly any fat on it and it tastes so goood

 

[stargazr]

Wright Peppered bacon from Sam's Club is pretty damn good.

 

[Scarpozzi]

thick cut is the best. I don't have a brand preference, but Kroger Thick Cut/Hormel Black Label/wrights are all typical purchases for me
