What kind/brand of bacon do you buy?
Seasoned? Extra thick? Maple? Smoked?
I prefer Wright's bacon ends and pieces. It's like a variety pack of bacon. You get a good mix of FATTY pieces, great for soup, chowders and beans. Some of them are really meaty, great for sammiches and breakfast and others are THICK or thin sliced. It's cured, smoked and none of it is maple flavored. A 3 pound package is less than $9 or about $3 dollars a pound.
@Megamind Oh yeah, I forgot about that. They made all beef jerky, sausage, salami and prague powder illegal due to its carcinogenic properties. Thanks for your constructive admission.
