Re: Have You Ever Had Bad Bacon?

my top three bacon brands at the moment...... all thick cut.

 

SCHWANS HOME DELIVERY......applewood, peppered, or regular (delivery every other week.)

 

HONEYBAKED HAM......sweet glaze ( i just run into a honeybaked ham store to buy it.)

 

WRIGHT......applewood smoked, maple glazed, hickory smoked ( i get the large double package at sams club.)

 

 

 

i probably have at least 8 pounds of bacon in my freezer right now and 1 in my refrigerator.

I dislike salty foods.  I have had bacon that was way too salty and I couldn't eat it.

@wagirl 

I would definitely mention the off taste of the pork you purchased.  

Most male piglets are castrated very early in life, since they are capable of doing their part to reproduce at 2 months old.  Castrating makes a male pig easier to work with, but it also keeps the pig, and their meat, from having a strong smell, and taste, which is truly nasty.   Boar taint is the term for that offensive smell and taste in pork from an uncastrated male.
