bacon of the month club 12: Hungarian Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon
1 Comment · Posted by beerorkid in bacon of the month club
The last bacon of the month 🙁 the Kolozsvari bacon was pretty unique. It came in slab form and I was glad I have the slicer to get even strips. It was really firm and had a good layer of smoke on it. The aroma before cooking was strange. Seemed spicy and well strange. Seems […]

No comments · Posted by beerorkid in bacon, bacon of the month club
This is the guy who runs the grateful palate personal brand of bacon. Oh man. It is another uber smoked bacon. Through the sealed package it smells like a burning house. Opened the package and my nose hairs started tingling. Theresa walked into the kitchen when I was frying some pieces up and she was […]

1 Comment · Posted by beerorkid in bacon of the month club
Vande Rose bacon showed up and I was pretty excited to test it out, but with the kitchen remodel it was going to have to wait till we could cook again. I fried some up for our mac and cheese and it was a very decent bacon. It was a bit of a bummer for […]

bacon of the month club round 8: Oscar’s Apple wood smoked bacon
2 Comments · Posted by beerorkid in bacon, bacon of the month club
Oscar’s is a rather tame bacon that is very well made. Just the right amount or flavor and a good quality piece of meat. I could smell a bit of smoke, but the main aroma was like a well cured ham. It was sliced very thin and cooked up crisp.

No comments · Posted by beerorkid in bacon, bacon of the month club
Edwards apple cinnamon bacon is a different animal. It is apple flavored which is kinda ewwww….. The aroma was not too smoky, but you could smell the cinnamon and fake apple. It was dry cured, but not too powerful bacon wise. Sliced up pretty thin. I got distracted and overcooked it a bit. The flavor […]

bacon of the month club round 5: Swiss meat and sausage co cottage bacon
1 Comment · Posted by beerorkid in bacon, bacon of the month club
Cottage bacon is kind of a faker. Not really bacon, but close. It is made from pork shoulder. Swiss meat and sausage company is out of Missouri. The pieces were pretty fatty with little to no smoke aroma or flavor. Large pieces of pork were held together with hunks of stringy fat. The pork was […]
