I splurged (yeah, the stuff is pricey - $7.00 a pound) but a) I don't eat bacon very often and b) I was pairing it with some gorgeous home grown tomatoes that deserved something spectacular.
Worth every cent. The bacon isn't as salty as others, the slices were thicker with a real meaty bite. I got the Naturally Smoked pound package.
I'm dreaming about my next BLT. I'm not kidding. I may have to buy 1 more pound while the tomatoes are coming in fast and furious. And that will be it until next year.

'Boar's Head' stuff is almost always excellent - thanks Maddy - think we'll give it a try; sounds delicious. |

There are two things I don't skimp on....meat and toilet paper.

You prefer 'Boar's Head' toilet paper there, Hooty?

I cook bacon to a burnt crisp...so I don't think quality matters.
Actually, I cook it to just before "a burnt crisp", and then it finishes up on its own. I don't like too many things burnt, but bacon is an exception. Besides, for me, half the beauty of bacon is the way it smells as it cooks.

I like my bacon almost burnt, too, and the surprising thing about this brand is that it doesn't crumble into bacon dust - it still has that chewy - almost jerky snap to it so you really feel like you're eating something.
That's another recommendation - 2 slices (ok, 3 or 4) will defintely fill you and satisfy you, whereas the thinner brands (Oscar meyer, Hormel, Armour) I would literally be able to scarf down the entire package.

Wow... that stuff sounds sooooo good. Think I'm gonna look for it to go on sale & pick up a package. I never eat bacon, either. Love it, just don't eat it. |

I dunno, but that last statement was only one letter "j" away from taking on an entirely different meaning. |

Boar's Head stuff is great. The store in my area (Sunflower) that sells their products (well, not the only one, but it has the best selection by a long shot) just got bought out by another store... I really hope they keep the layout and products, otherwise I will be very sad...

That sounds like the kind of thing you need to eat in moderation. In this case, moderation would have to be like once a year.
