/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The strength of bacon is its versatility as an addon. It's fat, salt and that smoked flavor all together in some meat. Theoretically you don't even need butter or oil based on how much bacon you have, and you can cut down on how much salt you'll need, too. The only bad thing about bacon is how much it got meme'd on the Internet around the early 2010's, so it became borderline Epic Meal Time stuff.

You can choose shit bacon. Superior bacon coming thru.

I don't really eat it anymore, too fatty.

The key is choosing a brand and specific pack.

You'll want to thoroughly check the sides and back of the pack for large amounts of fat. The manufacturers like to hide shitty packages that are majority fat with the labelling. The sides are your biggest indicator, if there is a good amount of meat on each visible side then the pack is probably okay.

Because anything this brand makes is better on any level. Goddamn I love the south since I moved here almost 5 years ago.

>The manufacturers like to hide shitty packages that are majority fat with the labelling.
Worse is that a lot of manufacturers put a lot of water in their bacon. That really is the mark of low-tier meat product.

>tfw when you smoke your own bacon from a wild boar that your father have shot
get on my lvl faggots

Is it an American thing to have bacon sliced in thin rectangles. Only bacon I've eaten is a weirder shape.

Not sure how that affects taste if at all.

Why do you have to rely on your father to shoot the animal? Are you too pussy to do it yourself? Does daddy not trust you with a gun?

>>10182188
We have square shaped pigs.
They were custom made by monsanto

I'm not an amerimutt and here you can't just buy hunters licence and a gun in Wall-Mart
you have to go through various tests, become a member of the Hunters Organization and do some work for the nature beside shooting- like plant trees, make shelters like pic rel, drop food during winter in the forest and pay all the jewish farmers for the damage that animals make on their plantations.
Sometimes I go with my father and help him with hunting nice fun

I've been buying lots of thick cut bacon lately, but today I'm going to make the jump into buying pork belly.

Yeah man I haven't been able to enjoy bacon since 2010 when all those normies started eating it. Fucking normies right dude?

>>10182278
Make your own bacon with the belly. Rub with kosher salt, brown sugar, whatever spices (or none) you feel like and sodium nitrite (cure #1). Wrap in plastic wrap, place in a tupperware container and refrigerate for 2 weeks. Take out rinse and cold smoke for 12 hours. Best and cheapest fucking bacon you'll ever eat.

>>10182311
>kosher salt

>>10182311
Making your own slices is a pain though unless you own pic related.

>>10182334
firm it up in the freezer and it shouldnt be too difficult

>>10182311
That was my plan. That and I wanted to make some nice Choshu pork ramen.

I hope you have health insurance.

>>10182488
should have prepared it 2 weeks ago anon cant believe you were such a fool

>>10180333
man i hate stocking that shit. they always send like 40000 in a case of bacon, and i can never stock all of it. it always just ends up going to backstock to perpetually not be stocked till it expires.

>>10182188
Common cuts vary between North America and Europe. You can usually get both, but one will be 'normal' for your region.

>>10182188
They're narrow for individual bite sized slices.

>>10180333
Nice trips...you can't go wrong with bacon...it's what separates us humans that eat it, from the trash that doesn't desu...

>>10182372
You're probably the kind of faggot who thinks you'll get botulism from fermented pickles and sauerkraut.

>>10183586
what do vegetables have to do with pork?
Aside from nothing you faggot.

>>10183592
slaughterhouse pigs eat a ton of corn feed desu

The way bacon is packaged is terrible.

I really wish they sold bacon in half-pounds as the standard. Or at least had each pound separated in to two halves. And don't tell me they would never do that because they do that shit with deli meat.

I always open a pound of bacon but I never need to cook the whole pound. So I end up with a floppy half-pack of bacon in my fridge that half the time I don't use before it goes bad.

>>10180374
>>You can choose shit bacon.
Yep. Inferior bacon coming through.

>>10182384

Why do you hate blacks? Or are you ignorant that diabetes is at epidemic proportions in the black community?

>>10186366
> retard logic

What. You think that only blacks have access to cheap sugar? Asians, Latinos, Whites all have the same access to the same cheap sugar. It's not their fault they have discipline and self control in their culture where the blacks can't control themselves and just eat junk foods all day.

Want to be healthy? Control your own fucking self around fats & sugars. Don't make the government do it for you, undisciplined niggers.

>>10186366

I'm suprised that whites actually have lower diabetes than Asians... though that could be from all the fucking boba and sugar drinks that have become popular. Chinese do have a sweet tooth though.

dude meat is murder

>>10180333
>cant you go wrong with bacon
That's retarded, bacon is one of the easiest things to screw up. It's great when it's done right, but there's a very narrow margin of error where it's not either underdone and too chewy or overdone and like eating burnt ashy rocks slabs.

>>10186441
>I'm suprised that whites actually have lower diabetes than Asians...
It's asian-americans, not asians.
Whites had a little more time to acclimate to self-destructive gluttonous American culture.

This is what a bacon looks like, not that bullshit american sliced propaganda
