Never bought bacon ends before. What am I in for?
Pic unrelated, just first thing nabbed from Google.
Smoldering farts and swamp ass.

have you ever ate the ends of a peice of bacon?
That's what you are in for
Because bacon ends taste like the ends of bacon
They even have the same texture and shape
They even come from the same part of the pig.

Much more fat than usual, uneven pieces but it can still be very good.

I bought pic related at Walmart and was not disappointed.
It was pretty much 50/50 bacon meat and bacon fat, which was pretty decent considering it was cheap as hell.
The bacon will be a mixture of those dirt cheap 'irregular' bacon strips you see at the grocery store (the pieces, usually 90% fat) and actually useful chunks of pure fat and meat (the ends). The bacon pieces and fat chunks are good for seasoning pans and the meat chunks are great on their own, a little tougher than bacon strips but way smokier.
Expect to separate the meat and fat by hand, especially the chunks, it's just a hell of a lot easier than trying to cut it up.
really inconsistently cooked bacon. Hope you like char and stringy fat

Good for soups or pork and beans.
Render it first, drain it on paper towels, add it in, low and slow.

If I was you I would make soup with that
Great for breakfast burritos.
Fuck I hate that bacon ends have caught on with the hipster foodie crowd time was a 1kg box of bacon ends was $6 at my local
I ate this about a year ago and I'm still suffering from the gas it produced... Proceed with caution anon.

It's really more that meat is getting expensive and people are looking for cheaper cuts. Pork butt is getting more expensive too.
