austinMemberOk so this is the best bacon I’ve ever had. I decided to bake some up straight to enjoy the pure flavor before I get adventurous and start adding it to things. It’s buttery in a light way (light for bacon anyway) and complex in flavor. The smokey flavor jives with the fat in a most harmonious way while the meat plumped up once cooked and is perfectly hammy. This evening I’ll be enjoying Bacon cheeseburgers with pale ale but the bacon by itself is simply outstanding.

ellamommyMemberHow do I get some of this fabulous sounding BACON!!! I’m late I know, but hoping that the bacon train might be coming soon again.

cjboffoliParticipantellamommy: The bacon makers are sold out once again. But I could probably let you have a pound from my stash providing you can pick it up at one of the delivery locations tomorrow.

SueParticipantI’m home from work today and decided to fry up some bacon for breakfast. I haven’t cooked bacon in about 5 years (eaten it out, but not cooked it), and didn’t remember bacon looking that fatty, so I was a bit concerned when I opened it. But it cooked up oh so perfectly and has a wonderful smokey flavor that lingers in your mouth. I really enjoyed it. And my psycho cat obviously enjoyed the smell as he was begging for some (not that he got any!) I probably won’t buy it regularly since I don’t need to be eating bacon <grin> but it’s good to know about it for when I want some!

cjboffoliParticipantThis morning I spoke on the phone with my 85 year-old Northern Italian grandmother who lives in Boston. When I told her that last night I was selling bacon from the trunk of my car I wholly expected she’d wonder aloud if I was OK…would ask if I needed money… maybe question why I was squandering an Ivy League education. Instead, I got a warning:
“You’d better be careful,” she said. “I knew a couple of guys back in the old neighborhood who got pinched selling things that ‘fell off’ the back of a truck.”
When I assured her that I was not trafficking in stolen goods and explained the circumstances by which I had acquired the bacon she then proceeded to tell me that I was going about the deliveries all wrong.
Nana: “Didn’t you have a paper route when you were a kid?”
Me: “Um, yes. What does that have to do with this?”
Nana: “You should deliver it that way….early in the morning so the people would have it in time for breakfast.”
I laughed and thanked her for her advice, reminding her that we have a lot of creatures around here who might get to the bacon before the people did. But maybe my Nana is on to something. It would be sort of retro to wake up at 4:45 and ride my bike around West Seattle with a big canvas bag of bacon slung over my shoulder. I’d test my skill at throwing the bacon across the lawn from the street, landing it perfectly on each doormat. And for anyone with a mean dog I’d deliberately throw high so the bacon would impact the front door with a satisfying whack that would wake the whole house.
Yes that Nana is a smart one I tell ya. Always thinking.

JoBParticipanti would love to meet your Nana… she sounds delightful.

JoBParticipantaustin…
i fried three slices of bacon this morning and then scrambled my eggs in some of the grease.
your review was excellent.. that is exactly what the bacon tasted like. In addition, i would like to say that it crumbles beautifully.. and that it is so rich that three pieces was too much.. even shared with the pups.
both dogs sat attentively while i fried the bacon, served myself and enjoyed my breakfast.. they stayed in a sit stay on their own until i put their dishes down with a bit of egg and bacon mixed in their kibble..
this is not normal behavior for them.. they didn’t have to ask if what i had was good.. they just knew and weren’t going to do anything that would deprive them of their opportunity to share.
i just got thank you kisses.
I’d say the bacon got a great big thumbs up.
later today i am going to drizzle some in maple syrup or honey sugar and bake it crispy … pepper it before it cools and crumble it for salads after it has chilled.
My husband will be one happy camper.. tho i don’t think he will roll over for a nap and present his tummy to be rubbed as both dogs did:)
christopher… thanks for sharing this with us.

miwsParticipantThanks for sharing your call with Nana, Christopher!
Now, not discounting your throwing abilities, I can picture in my mind the one customer in your bacon delivery scenario….
“Aw NUTS! The bacon’s in the bushes AGAIN! Why can’t that kid ever get it on the porch?”
Mike
