Any bacon fans?

Talk about a clickbait title.

@robtattoo. What kinda question is this? Why not ask if anyone here breathes oxygen or does anyone have a heartbeat.

That bacon is too floppy

I think it looks like that because it’s a bacon martini

What’s your favorite flavor of the bunch?

So far, I'm 50/50 between the chili garlic & honey maple.
The honey maple is borderline just a hair too sweet. If I do it again (hah! If....) I'd definitely decrease the sugar percentage in the cure. Maybe cut it back to 1 or 1.2%
The jalapeño & garlic has a beautiful, but subtle fermenty kick. I wouldn't call it spicy, but you can definitely taste everything that's going on.

Awesome, definitely gonna give this a try. Thanks for the inspiration! We’ve been hoping to find a heartier (less fatty) bacon which is surprisingly hard to find.

I remember bacon. From before my heart attack.

Bacon won't give you any trouble, it's the other stuff we eat that causes issues like that. Lots of good info online about good diets. Hope you can eat some Bacon again soon.

Thanks, but it won’t be happening. My referee (Wife) wouldn’t allow bacon. Like cheese…I’ll just have to remember those.
