AKA Salt Pork.  Bathing in water, molasses, onion, and beans.  Culinary ecstasy.  With ham, brown bread, wine...

Uh, I think I need a cold shower as it won't be ready for another almost 8 hours.

that sounds slightly disturbing.

When my friend's dad passed on, they were cleaning out his fridge and way in the back they found...


...Blue Bacon!!!!!!

Mmmmmmmm... Blue Bacon...

Eww! No! Salt pork tastes like latex paint.  My grandpa used to put that in bean soup and it tasted like I was licking the wall.

Salo.  Smoked, unrendered bacon fat.  Now, that's the shit!

I just made a batch of lacquered bacon for an anti-valentines party tonight. Start with extra-thick bacon, an oven at 350, and a mixture of hot pepper, black pepper and lots of brown sugar. Coat the bacon with the mix each time you flip  after 4 flips the bacon is well done with a candy shell.
