Our bacon is anything but. We have no more butchers in our city that I'm aware of so we haven't got a whole lot of choices except the grocery stores.

Bacon in Portugal tastes pretty good, but they slice it really, really thin.

Costco has great bacon but it's rarely in stock.

We got a lot of pigs here in Illinois, so bacon is plentiful and relatively cheap.

 

[Alticus]

I envy you Reg lol

I've never bought bacon from a butcher. It's not reallt a Portuguese thing. They eat presunto. I only see bacon at supermercados.

I like this uncured bacon I get from a butcher in Elburn. Totally tasty.

So more like panchetta the Italian stuff?

How third world of you @Reggie_Essent

It tastes like bacom -- to me -- but it is so thin when you cook a strip, it ends up about 1/3 the size. Like one bite per strip.

HaHa Lotus. Don't be jelly because we have butchers and better bacon. :)

 

[LotusBud]

Except this thick bacon at Continente, which I think is American style.

Yeah I know the stuff, its delicious but you need significant amounts to satisfy the bacony cravings.

What did you say if you did, that its called in Portugal?

 

[MANCID RILKO]

But we usually buy the stuff yhat comes in one piece

 

[Alticus]

The thin stuff sounds pretty good actually.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Then we dice to put in a dish

 

[Alticus]

Hmmmm...never tried that with bologna. I do put bologna on my pizza though.

 

[Alticus]

Oops! I meant bacon not bologna. We don't get the thin stuff. :(

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Bologna on a pizza sounds kinda weird lolol

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I don't think it'd be a good option

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Not a top topping

 

[Alticus]

Hot dogs I also add sometimes.

 

[Alticus]

That's what I love about food. There are countless combos to try and even create.

 

[Seamajor]

I like all that stuff, except pizza

 

[Alticus]

You don't like pizza? SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!

 

[The Question]

Carne asada pizza would be FUCKING AMAZING.
