I'm fairly sure I can find good pork belly here in Minnesota, with all the pig farms. <br /><br />Hooray for Bacon!!!!Merhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722620539285772878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989376878473705758.post-27687674813670016932010-09-21T22:26:58.438-04:002010-09-21T22:26:58.438-04:00Well, Mer, trying new things shouldn't be sad....Well, Mer, trying new things shouldn't be sad. Bacon isn't sad. Electro-mechanically processed bacon in a squeeze bottle...seems gross to me.<br /><br />On the other hand, I like escargot, pate, oysters and probably a lot of other things that someone with different tastes would see as gross. And your comment has made me think of my own hypocrisy. If I was in an artsy-fartsy restaurant and offered some kind of whipped bacon on a cracker as an amuse bouche, damn straight I would eat it. Probably like it too.<br /><br />We are getting to a place where can't be bothered to fry a few pieces of bacon ourselves. We are so lazy that we would rather reach for a ketchup bottle filled with electro-mechanically processed bacon to smear on a sandwich. The fry time is just too long. There is also a pan to clean. That's a full 15 minute commitment. That mindset is sad.<br /><br />The hardest part about making your own bacon, which I promise will come out very yummy, is finding a good pork belly. The rest of the process is very easy and in the end, rewarding. Not as fast as popping the top tho....Jon in Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766493068147115690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989376878473705758.post-63408737837222038092010-09-21T21:40:36.155-04:002010-09-21T21:40:36.155-04:00Is it sad I'd actually try this?Is it sad I'd actually try this?Merhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722620539285772878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989376878473705758.post-21553522029903429642010-09-16T08:16:29.380-04:002010-09-16T08:16:29.380-04:00I think ye post title sums it up very accurately!I think ye post title sums it up very accurately!phairheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613553152292506932noreply@blogger.com
