I sincerely hope this is Fake News. It’s NBC so chances are good.
Damn you Michael Moore!
Trump’s Fault
His comments to Rosie scared a lot of pigs off.
Let’s set one up! What’s a 150 billion among friends?
This would actually be a reason to protest. No bacon, no peace!
Does this include halal bacon too?
Not hard at all. Takes about a week to brine and a way to smoke it. Youtube has lots of tutorials. This works well and if you are a vet, they’ll give you a 10% discount. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Masterbuilt-30-in-Digital-Electric-Smoker-20070910/100660191?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D28I-Grills%7c&gclid=CK2h0Ymv9dECFYO4wAodkhcMxg&gclsrc=aw.ds
Recent data from the USDA shows that 2016 inventory...is down 35.6 million pounds from 2015 levels.
If there is a shortage of bacon, that will mean a shortage of sausage, ham, pork chops, hotdogs, pulled pork sammys, fried pork rinds, chorizo, and pickled pigs feet.
None of that will come to pass.
Cancel the ethanol fiasco and use that corn where it’s needed.
Costco’s brand is the cheapest I have seen.
No such thing as a shortage.
So you can’t just fry it up and enjoy it? You have to process it?
Pork belly is just that... raw pork. Salt pork is pork belly that has been brined or packed in a salt/sugar rub for about a week. Bacon is salt pork that has been smoked. It’s the smoke that makes it. Same way, corned beef is brisket that has been aged in a brine. Pastrami is corned beef that has been smoked.
So,,,, pork belly is not worth frying up with some eggs for breakfast?
Nothing’s stopping you, but a pork chop would be much leaner.
Just had a poke chop for dinner!
