Maple bacon

We get both kinds, ( back and streaky) we buy half or whole pigs in cooperative from a friend who rears them. We are going to try mangolitza soon possibly. Trotters /ears are a treat meal for the dogs.....because while I know trotters are great the dogs just love them, and i don't. And we decide on head etc per butchering. I am not a fan of head cheese but I like cheeks. We use whole useable parts essentially.

They say their fat is full of healthy things.. and the meat is the Kobe of the swine!

Plus they are cute as fuck.
 

I do that every time I have bacon.


Mmmm bacon fat.


ERMAHGERD! Yes!




Bacon is pork belly.

That is that.



That is how we do it. I'm currently trying to perfect a black pepper and jalapeño smoked bacon.

The last one we did with apple wood chips and the consensus was it was better than the ones we did with hickory.




This thread...I am so having some bacon tonight.

Makes sense.

Pig and apple go together like

Ka dingity dinga dong
 
Bacon is one of those rare foods to which the 5 second rule does not apply.
