I prefer this method:
1. Shoot and dress out a few feral hogs
2. Brine the hog bellies for a few days
3. Smoke for a a day or two in a nice cool smokehouse.
Steps 2 & 3 can be replaced by taking the hogs to a game processor who provides such services. But, it is not as satisfying.
Had some awsome little smokis wrapped in bacon strip cooked in a crock pot, two to a toothpick last night at the building xmas party where I work. Gave me an idea. Stuff each one of those into a jalapeno half for some bite and a new kind of popper.
I don’t get it. I was in the supermarket the other day and I could buy pork chops cheaper than I could bacon by the pound?
From my history reading bacon used to be a poor persons food. Supply and demand?
What brand/ style/ cut?
Does that matter? Really? It’s BACON.
Thick cut, peppered.
Well, I thought I might ask what brand gets the Ogre Stamp of Approval – that’s all.
No, it does not matter, but there is bacon, and then there is bacon…
True, kaso. All bacon is bacon, but then there is Bacon which is BACON.

They keep saying we have feral hogs in SeMo, but no one seems to be able to show me where to shoot.

The Ogre does Epic Meal Time?

The Ogre is Epic the rest of the day too.
Outstanding.

It’s a mystery.
Hate to say it, Ogre, but you are doing it wrong.

There’s still bacon left on the shelf.
I know. But those were 8 bucks a pack. But it really was some amazing bacon.
Just get friendly with the guy running the meat department.
If you’re very lucky, he’s a real butcher.
Ask for it a 1/2 or full case at a time.
Eat well.
