thinly sliced, heavily salted, very little fat
why the fuck do you eat literal shit eng/ameribros
also general bacon love thread

You're dumb as fuck bro
Fat is flavor you dingo fucker
Murrica master race reporting in
British back bacon has the perfect balance of meat and fat.
>>7646677
Meat is also flavour. Do you cut the meat from your steak and just eat the rendered fat? No, you eat the lot.
American bacon is real bacon because it comes from the pigs belly. Australian is the middle and the same as Canadian bacon which in America we call ham most the time. It's not even the same parts of the animal so not fair to even compare

So you've literally never seen bacon in america? If you're not buying garbage it's around equal fat to meat.
>>7646668
>ham
>>7646691
The arrogance of Americans never ceases to amaze me.
>>7646668
>throw the meat in the garbage
nigga have you even BEEN to the US? we use every part of the pig
>>7646691
bacon =/= pork belly you fucking idiot.
it comes from the back
pork belly is like 4x the price of bacon
I thought this was a bacon love thread.
Real talk, unsmoked > smoked.
>>7647739
If it's not smoked it's not bacon. Bacon by definition is salt cured and smoked.
>>7647751
But that is wrong, you should actually know what you are talking about before trying to make a point.

Regular ham, probably. Little does OP know that Englishmen can't have bacon at all.

Gotta say lately I've been making a lot of homemade bacon and I'm enjoying making canadian bacon far more than regular. I can find the pork loins for sale more often and the leaner cut seems to appeal to folks. Plus having a 3 day cure time vs a 7 day cure time is definitely a bonus.
>>7648130
Calm down senpai. On the topic of bacon, both American and English style are pretty great. Never have upsidedown bacon before though.
>>7648133
That said, if you nail a good slab bacon right. Goddam does it taste good, especially if it's been smoked with some fruitwood like cherry or apple.
>>7648130
I'd rape her.
>>7648147
Let me see if I have any of the actual slices, a lot of my bacon ends up gobbled up or given as gifts so I don't get to see the end result very often. Here's some Pancetta I made a while back.
>>7648147
>>7648164
Ok here's the slabs sliced at least. I couldn't find any of the canadian bacon done unfortunately.
>>7648179
>>7648181
Glad you guys like it!
Found some more sliced slabs from a couple of months ago.

Alas all I can offer is a pic of some deep fried chicken bacon ranch balls I made with said bacon for the super bowl.

Deep Fried Chicken Bacon Ranch Balls Recipe
Recipe:
5lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Finely Chopped
2lbs of Bacon minced
1 1/2 cups Ranch Dressing of your choice
2 Cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
3 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 Tsp Finely Ground Black Pepper
2 Tsp Dried Parsley
(Optional) - 1/4 cup finely minced green onion
4 cups of Panko Bread crumbs or Crushed Ruffles Potato chips or some combination of your choice.
Oil for Frying
Take the minced bacon and fry until crispy and crumbled. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Combine the Bacon and the rest of the ingredients except the Bread crumbs/Crushed potato chips in a large mixing bowl and ensure the ingredients are mixed well. Cover the bowl with saran wrap or foil and place inside your fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight so the ingredients settle.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and prepare your crumb/chip mixture in a separate bowl/tray for dredging.
Form the mixture into balls. You can adjust the size depending on the event (smaller for appetizers or larger for an entree) generally speaking this recipe should make about 40-50 golf ball sized balls or 20-30 Tennis Ball sized balls.
Dredge the balls into the crumb/chip mixture until fully covered. Press the mixture together to ensure proper coverage and set aside on a tray or board.
Once all the balls are formed, heat the oil in your fryer or pot to 375 degrees.
Frying these guys are a bit tricky due to the high cheese content in them. They have a tendency to stick, even to a deep fryer basket. What I found works is to take a pair of metal tongs and gently lower the balls into the oil with the basket below them rather than lowering the basket itself. This generally reduces the tendency for them to stick.
Fry the balls for about 4 minutes for the smaller ones and 6 minutes for the larger ones. Drain on Paper towels and serve.
>>7648411
If you're using a deep fryer I recommend no more than 2-3 balls at a time due to how sticky they tend to be, it makes moving them around easier.
>>7648414
And they should come out looking roughly like so. You can speed up the frying process if you want by using cooked chicken, that cuts the frying time down in half, but I prefer cooking the chicken this way, they come out more moist imo.

It is so obvious when Americans post, it's almost pitiable, I am certain he will try and say he isn't American now. Then say it is an American website
.A serious inferiority complex.

No you fucking don't. You are one of the worst countries in the world for wasting parts of the animal.
You waste the skin.
You waste the blood.
You waste the organs.
>>7648500
>You waste the skin.
>You waste the blood.
>You waste the organs
what the fuck do you think the "meat" in processed food is made of?
>>7648419
You can tell it's Americans by spelling, sentence structure, slang and degree of aggressiveness.
You are a very predicable people.
>>7648511
None of them, the skin maybe as a bulking agent, but that's it.
>>7648511
As an Asian living in Canada I'll tell you this: The price of blood and organs has been getting higher and higher steadily to the point where it's not longer the most affordable cuts of meat.
>>7648514
Why do you care so much about us here anyway? I'd expect this much hate for America on /pol/ some shit.
I just want to know some neat cooking tricks with bacon bruh.
>>7648540
>Why do you care so much about us here anyway?
This is honestly yhe most pathetic Americanism I see here. You say that others care while caring about what others care about. Can you see the dichotomy?
>>7648585
Nobody said they cared.
Meanwhile you're still constantly obsessing over us
>>7648590
You really do try hard, even while demonstrating that you think about whether 'we' think about you. You honestly can't see it, can you?
>>7648604
No one has demonstrated a thought that they actually cared what you think
Rhetorical questions are rhetorical for a reason. Correcting someone is not caring what they think
Seek help.
>>7646668
As an Australian, I don't recognise that image as Australian bacon. I recognise it as the bacon I don't bother buying as I point out the streakier stuff to the left at the deli counter. If I want ham, I get ham.
>>7648618
Why is asking questions automatically means someone cares about you? If I asked my neighbor where his old crippled grandmother has been it doesn't mean I care about her.
>>7648618
You are fabricating indifference. I honestly like 90% of the Americans I have met, a much higher number than Euros. Cunts like you seem to be the majority on 4chan. A damn shame.
