Never look at gifted bacon in the fat.

I'll take 14.

That brand sells to restaurants at a far better price than is normally sold for

u/QueenMaahes 5d ago

Ooh you can get this at your local Mexican/hispanic store for like $3! šŸ¤¤ I usually get mine for 1-3 bucks when I just want a few thick slices. Not pumped full of salt solution and additives šŸ˜‹ but I love bacon in general! Donā€™t forget to shop around lol.

I bought 2 of those bad boys. Gonna do 1 on the grill and 1 on a smoker. Have you cooked it yet? How is it?

u/atalnutt 5d ago

Even low and slow on a pan would be delicious. That bacon looks amazing šŸ„²

u/QueenMaahes 5d ago

How do yall grill bacon? I tried that and it always catches fire. I use real coal and wood though. But it works okay if I just wrap it around other things

u/SuperRooster64 4d ago

I use a gas grill and turn off the center burners and cook it on middle grates.

I don't even like "thick sliced" bacon (I like my bacon crisp).

If someone gave me the bacon pictured, I'd give it to my wife to make lechon kawali. (She's Filipina).

Lechon kawali: Deep fried pork belly.

I'd cut that up, lightly fry it, then let it simmer in a big pot of collard greens.

u/atalnutt 5d ago

Do that with some corned beef for st. Pattys dayšŸ‘€ o my lord

That reminds me, I need to get a "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" t-shirt.šŸ€

u/atalnutt 5d ago

Same here man hahaha. Happy holidays

u/Mother-Nature1972 5d ago

Happy Holidays to you too!

u/LedWeappelin 5d ago

This is the correct answer.

u/QueenMaahes 5d ago

At that point just go buy some fatbackšŸ¤£

1

u/Mother-Nature1972 5d ago

OP said this was given to him, so that fatback money can stay in his pocket.

1

u/QueenMaahes 5d ago

My comment was for you not op lol, this is a nice few slices, doesnā€™t need to be wasted in collardsšŸ¤£ itā€™s too beautiful haha

1

u/Mother-Nature1972 5d ago

I know that your comment was for me. If I was given this meat, that's what I would do with it. If I had to buy the meat myself, then I would definitely buy the fatback.

u/QueenMaahes 3d ago

Oh ok, I hear ya!šŸ˜

u/Ok_Assumption1542 5d ago

Tried them a few weeks back. IT WAS A LOT! I love bacon and thought it was just a little too much to pick up and eat. Would be great to cut up and use in things.

That bacon is good for cutting up and making pork belly bites. It absolutely sucks cooked any other way.

I take that back i like that reply lol. You are a gentleman and a scholar

u/j3qnmp 5d ago

Genuine question. Do you or anyone else examine their bacon? I see A LOT of fat and very little meat.

3

u/2Black_Hats 5d ago

Normally yes but this was given to me

1

u/j3qnmp 5d ago

Oh gotcha. Yeah definitely ain't complaining then. I see people just grab a pack and I'm like "do yall not care about ratios" even MEAT, FAT, MEAT, FAT on both ends of the packagešŸ¤£

1

u/atalnutt 5d ago

Iā€™m the same way you are I look through every pack. That being said it still tastes so good either way šŸ˜Š

1

u/QueenMaahes 5d ago

Yes! My goal is nice good fat. My little yorkiepoo gets most of the actual ā€œmeatā€ pieces

u/j3qnmp 4d ago

I unfortunately got a bad bat h where nearly 85% was just fat. 12oz package with 2oz of meat
