You have a "bacon section" in your freezer? I think I better have a talk with mine.

I do.
But sometimes the bacon takes up more than the allotted room

"Bacon for Blue crabs, Zagnut."
"I might be run off from this thread, but I don't like bacon. I find it too salty. I will eat it on a BLT because it's with other things. I also like chicken livers wrapped in bacon and broiled. But bacon by itself, no."
CarolPa,
Oh you do like bacon.
You just don't want it straight up.
That's a redeeming value so you won't be run off the thread.
But if you say you don't like bacon again.
After this bacon session I may have to re-think my endeavours.
At 4 bucks/lb for the belly, plus the trimming to get nice strips of actual bacon, this is going to cost as much as good storebought bacon. And I can buy that on sale for $4/lb.
Smoking isn't like cooking. I like the results, but the rest is pretty boring.
Sugardale, my favorite storebought brand, is on sale this week for I kid you not, $3.00/16oz... I had to look twice. Not 12, 16.
Needless to say by the end of next week I'm going to have a LOT of bacon in the freezer.
I can't believe it's that's cheap. Figures. I'm going to have to have a talk with my butcher and find out why bellies have gone up so much.
