talk about an easy discussion topic. i buy very good bacon from a local butcher. it's not to much more expensive than the big stores. but it blows it all away.
i rarely eat bacon strips. maybe in a BLT(A), but that needs tomato season to get under way.
mostly it is an ingredient. last night i made a quick pasta sauce. burned my last jar of last season's tomatos. basically, bacon, diced onion, pepper flakes..salt/pepper. finished with a few capers.
tossed it all in pasta and served it to my wife..with fresh parm.
it do that dish all the time..but not always with the bacon. what a difference!! the smokey porkyness!!
i think bacon's superpower is it as an ingredient. a little goes a long ways.
i dont save the grease tho..you?
