You are correct, you get what you pay for.Maybe I've been having some bad bacon luck over the last 10 years,
but it seems you need to spend like $9 to get some decent stuff.
If you don't go top shelf you're just buying a pan/fryer/skillet full of grease.
Anything else is just pure fat slabs.
I've tried buying the ones that have the plastic windows and looking at them and making sure I see marbles of meat.
You get it home and open it up and it's it's just a couple piece on the front in the plastic the back and rest is all just pure fat.
90% of the time I just get turkey bacon. Jenny-O,Buttball, Hormenl they are all pretty much the same and the stuff cost $2-3.
You know what's the worst is lamb.
Several times I bought like a leg of lamb and taken it home, followed the directions or recipe and ended up with two bites of meat and a tray full of grease.
Stuff has always been expensive too like $15-25+. That's somewhere around $10 a bite of meat.
You're pretty much just buying bone and fat.
Those guys are fatballs, I don't know what they feed them, they just eat plants right?
Cuts with no bones or maybe a small one are OK, Make sure they trimmed off most of the fat.
Otherwise just best to get it from a restaurant.
Crab can be like that too.
Seconded, get a bacon grease jar. Using bacon grease instead of cooking oil or butter is your next stage of cooking evolution. The 1940s called and wants you to use that grease in everything.Part of the appeal of bacon is the fat. Maybe you just don’t like fat?
I've used duck fat, takes fried potatoes to the next level.Seconded, get a bacon grease jar. Using bacon grease instead of cooking oil or butter is your next stage of cooking evolution. The 1940s called and wants you to use that grease in everything.
I just ate a bacon, egg, and cheese burrito
It was damn good. I feel bad for lactovegans. (Although, they can have make an almond flour tortilla, cashew cheese, coconut bacon, and tofu/yogurt egg sustitute breakfast burrito.)
I just don't want to pay $10 a pound for bacon.
Yesterday, at commercial business center Costco they had a pack with two racks of pork spare ribs for $56! $6 a pound for spare ribs seemed double the norm. I thought to myself, I can go to to a BBQ joint and buy two smoked racks of ribs and get sides for about the same price.
same in china. yeah I miss bacon. Man. Crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and apple sauce. Never knew how good I had it.They don't even have bacon in Japan. They just have canadian bacon (refuse to capitalize canadian due to what they've done to bacon), which is ordinary ham with a different label.

McDonald's had used round bacon in the past instead of strips. Wonder if it's related?Is english bacon available in the US? I'm not saying it's better tasting than side bacon but it's a lot less fatty if fat isn't your thing.
Far as I can tell it's a cross between Canadian bacon and US bacon - it's like the round medallion bit but with a streaky fatty bit hanging off the end. Sounds sexy eh?
Proper UK bacon is not widely available. These ignorant savages think their inferior "bacon" is good enough.Is english bacon available in the US? I'm not saying it's better tasting than side bacon but it's a lot less fatty if fat isn't your thing.

Make me an English breakfast, bitch. A right proper English breakfast.
There are no other first world countries than england.
This is the edited version of this gif that stops before the fangs grow out of her mouth.
Can confirm, we have some spicy tree bark in the weekends.England has the worst food on the planet. Hands down. Tribesmen in the Amazon living off of insects and tree bark eat better than the English.
