    Why don't you put that question out to the pig population, pretty sure they would have some good suggestions for you.....maybe you and Paula Dean can schedule your angiograms at the same time.....two for one special!

    Let me guess... vegetarian? :laugh:

    Burgers Bacon. Love the stuff, crispy and still melts in the mouth when you eat it. It comes in peppered, applewood smoked, plain, and I'm sure others but those are my favs. Also you can get the bacon bit stuff, the odd end cuts for a cheaper price then the normal bacon.

    Might have to go find a butcher around here...

    Its totally worth the time to find one.
    Just make a list of all the meat you want ahead of time.. or atleast a rough idea... and dont forget how much freezer space you have. lol.

    Pigs are horrible about this.
    no matter what you ask about the bacon, pork, or sausage, they eat it all as if its all equally the best.
    Pigs love bacon.
    I wish all pigs I eat would eat more bacon, for that double bacon goodness.

    Pretty much any bacon is good bacon. But I usually try the local supermarket house brand or go to an old school butcher. And the only way to cook it I have found is in the oven, on a cookie sheet with one of the wire cooling racks. It keeps the bacon up out of the excess grease and turns out just right. A little crunchy and a little chewy. Kinda that in between point.

    My husband uses this methond but on the grill. It doesn't smell up the house and it gives it that camping taste. YUMMY!!!!

    you can do that on the grill too for the most awesome bacon possible.

    I like to buy bacon ends -- they're so much cheaper, and I tend to chop them into things anyway.

    WOAH WOAH WOAH NOW!!!!!

    There is no such thing as bad bacon!

    There is bacon that is a bit more tasty than others, but BAD bacon, there is no such thing.

    You are going to make bacon have low self esteem, and then it will hide itself and we will all be without bacon.

    Shame on you. *shakes head*

    I don't eat alot of bacon, I love it so once I stop eating I can't quit, but when I do i go to a local farm where I grew up. I used to eat turkey bacon because i thought it was so much better for you but then I found out that it's actually less healthy because of all the fillers they put in it and that it is healthier just to eat the real stuff

    Ha! It really is the most yummy way to make it! Unfortunately it usually means I eat too much of it!

    If you have a Meat House near you - theirs is the best and I can buy just the number of strips I need instead of a pre-packaged amount. Bacon is not something I can allow leftovers of! I also really like North Country Smokehouse (it's a local smokehouse that distributes through the regional grocery stores). If you aren't in the Northeast, try looking for a local farm or smokehouse that provides it, my farmer's market always has some.
