How come nobody talks about Jowl Bacon?

I grew up eating it. Nobody ever talks about it unless it's new years but I think it should be eaten not just once a year. I'm talking about Jowl Bacon not the Italian variant.

Have you ever had Jowl Bacon?

Uncle Yam Loves Bacon

Uncle Yam got all wide-eyed and started waving the flag when I pulled this out of the oven this morning.

Got a slab of Smoked Maple and cut it myself! Thick bacon for the holiday!

I pan fried some. Baked some. And grilled some wrapped around dogs and jalapeños. The scent of smoked maple fills my home and yard. 😂 Happy 4th!

Bacon for Breakfast

Why does bacon cooked outside on the griddle taste even better??

Had a friend tell me about the biggest BLT she’d ever seen… showed me a picture they advertised a pound of bacon but I’m assuming that was raw weight. I thought damn I can do better. Behold, this sandwich contains the equivalent of 36 full slices of bacon.

So I wanted to mix it up on my newest creation. Not a blt but there’s still lots of bacon included. I started with a generous helping of garlic butter, thinly sliced mortadella made by me, added some honey ham made by me, some cheddar slices, some dill pickle mayo, 24 slices of crispy bacon made by me, some lettuce, a layer of corned beef and turkey thinly sliced, another 16 slices more of that crispy bacon, some Italian made prosciutto, a drizzle of yellow mustard and a drizzle of a miso sesame dressing I recently stumbled upon. Lastly a layer of sliced tomatoes and a final layer of cheddar. All on a French loaf. I added some measurements as people were wondering just how tall it was. I also put it on one of my scales for curiosity sake! And before anyone starts judging, no I’m not eating all this by myself. I’m volunteering with one of my kids sports teams tomorrow and am driving 3 large football players around collecting trash so the sandwich was cut into 4 and bagged up.

A moment of silence for this bacon left too long -Imagine some animals like it this way best

The sump pump for the washer in the basement failed and by the time I had finished damage control, the eery sound of my microwave timer and this grim sight awaited me. Still going to eat it, but this does not represent me nor my bacon ideals. It did yield one perfect bite though before this photo.

Is there even a standard thickness for bacon anymore?

Every pack I see is different!

Some slices are paper‑thin and fry up in seconds, others are so thick they’re basically mini pork belly slabs. In diners you get those long, crispy strips, but at butcher shops you’ll see chunky cuts that look nothing like the store stuff.

At this point I’m honestly wondering how we’re deciding what counts as bacon and what’s just “a slice of pork belly someone decided to call bacon.”

In France, eggs and bacon are being fried directly in the sun, temperatures have exceeded 45°C

Rail traffic has been disrupted, schools have been closed, and part of the nuclear energy sector has been temporarily shut down.

A mass of hot air from the Sahara has covered southern Europe and is moving further east.

I get paid to cook bacon. A lot of it. I always taste test it. A lot of it if chef ain't looking

Sunday Bacon

I prefer to cook a lot in a cast iron skillet. Start it cold with a lid to let it render a bit faster, up to about medium medium-low heat, begin pulling at the fine white foam so you get a range of chewy to just crisp.
