Title: Sure glad I can make my own back bacon
Post by: smokendevo on June 17, 2014, 03:02:52 PM: At the local meat store this morning and could not believe what they wanted for back bacon. Sure am glad I make my own :). A picture of theres and mine. I made at least six times more for around 24 bucks. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/18/uty3y9e6.jpg)

To tell the truth I don't like either one, I make it for a lady that lived in southern Ontario who move up here. She said here mother cooked it all the time and she missed not having any. We really don't see it in the stores to often and when its available its pretty expensive.

Post by: TentHunteR on June 17, 2014, 05:28:20 PM: Wow, that is pricey! $23.99/kg = $10.88/lb.

I bet your homemade Back Bacon tastes better anyway.

Love it.
