this thread inspired me to google 'canadian bacon' which in turn inspired me to share my findings with you all
havnt had bacon in months, and im getting hungry just reading this thread. theres is only one cure, Im going to Bobs Sausage house tomorrow and I'm buying 5lbs of of maple cured smoked bacon.........droool
... this showed up on the search, and has nothing to do with bacon, but deserves an honourable mention:
sigh.......its called back bacon, and it esentially just expensive ham. or at least thats how it tastes to me
you're over simplifying things http://www.realcanadianbacon.com/pork-tenderloin/press/The_real_deal_Authentic_Canadian_bacon_isn't_what_most_Americans_think_it_is.htm
I can only handle bacon about four times a year... usually just two or three strips, if I'm at a brunch buffet. I vastly prefer breakfast sausage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent: Want some bacon? Jules: No man, I don't eat pork. Vincent: Are you Jewish? Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all. Vincent: Why not? Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood. Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces. Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces. Jules: I don't eat dog either. Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way. Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true? Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
