Re: New member with question - Raw Bacon

[Guest guest]

Meredyth...

Welcome! Before you imagine the new bacon you'll find as some sort

of succulent treat, bacon that is raw is much different than the

bacon we were used to! I recently bought 2 different kinds from

a grass-fed farm... one that is purely just raw bacon, and one that

is cured with only sea salt. I tried the sea salt one first, and it

is very bland. I also bought the uncured kind, and it was only $2.00

per pound. I have a feeling that when I taste it, I'll know why!!!

However, I do know that as the next month or two passes, that these

foods will taste better and better. Just remember to use plenty of

celtic salt to your bacon so it will at least have SOME taste!

But I am saving the bacon grease for cooking.
