As someone who likes his bacon thick and chewy, I'd never have thought that someone would describe grocery store bacon as "too thickly sliced"
Yeah but did you read the rest of the context
Real Bacon PSA: bacon slices have different thickness depending on what country you're in.
You don't get it unsliced, so that you can ask the supermarket to slice it for you as you like?
The expensive supermarket might have a butcher department, but most regular supermarkets only have prepacked and pre-sliced bacon. Maybe millionairs have it freshly sliced, I don't know. I have heard that some countries you can have your minced meat made freshly too! There is no chance you can have that here. Never seen it anywhere (or maybe I show the wrong paces - think Lidl, ALDI etc)
Okay in Italy most medium and at times small supermarkets have a place where you can get your prosciutto crudo, salame etc...
Elsewhere in Europe there is frequently a butcher department if the supermarket is big.
In Greece nearly all supermarkets have a butcher department, except maybe Lidl, where are you going to get your whole lamb for Easter BBQ? :)))
It's actually wild the difference in quality of product between different grocery stores (even the same chain) depending on how rich the area they're in is.
And price And selection
Even if the stores are blocks apart
How thick do you like them?
Yup. UK Bacon is much thicker than US bacon, and Canadian bacon isn't what most people would consider bacon at all.
Canadian bacon isn’t what most people would consider bacon at all
In Canada we call it ham.
Also Canadian Bacon isnt "All Bacon Bought in Canada" if you go and just buy "Bacon" while in Canada, you get the bacon you're expecting, you only get the 'not bacon' when you buy "Canadian Bacon"
Good to know! I figured Canadian Bacon monicer was an Americanism.
I live in Denmark and what they call Danish Bacon in the UK, you can't buy in Denmark because it's too thick
You just don't know how to cook. Small changes in cooking styles as per the ingredients your using is what cooking is. Technique is as important as ingredients.
Well, if the recipe says bacon and it has specified cooking times, I think people can be forgiven for getting it wrong.
It takes years to learn to drive well and be comfortable at it. You can read all the books about drivong but until you actually do it you are terrible at it. Even after you start youre still terrrible. It takes time and practice. Cooking is the same. You need practice to build the skills to know what works and what doesn't. You can't assume because you read the book you know it all.
I feel like you're very passionate about this and good on you!
But some people may not even want to know how to cook. They want to read a recipe, cook it, and have an okay (or maybe even spectacular!) meal from the recipe.
Recipes are there as instructions for what worked when somebody else did it, they aren't supposed to be teaching you how to cook, they're saying 'do these steps exactly this way and you should get some decent food'.
If the recipe was for a different meal and someone has just changed the ingredients because bAcOn, this isn't a recipe based on something somebody did, instead it's a recipe for (chuckles to himself smugly) disaster.
Telling people it's their fault because they don't know how to cook and should know better than to follow a recipe just seems combative.
Don't want to learn to cook that's cool too, just don't complain when things go badly. Just like anything else in life.
Did you follow step by step instructions when you started driving?
Did a recipe for bacon wrapped jalepeno poppers - they turned out amazing. Used an air fryer and had them spread out on a wire rack.
10/10, would damage heart again.
every time I get that magical mouth feel of bacon - salty, crunchy, soft but not too mushy or springy - fuck me. fuck fuck it tastes so fucking good why does it taste this good I eat way too much bacon and I'm probably still below the national average.
I wonder what substitution the original post was warning about before the OP did a find & replace because bacon SEO’d better 🤔
They’re doing it wrong.
The secret is cheap bacon.
So paper-thin that they would be embarrassed to sell it at the regular grocery store. We’re talking Family Dollar, so-thin-it’s-transparent, deceptively packaged bacon.
CornKing is an example of a pretty thin bacon and it’s available at places like Wal-Mart
If you don’t want that, then pre-cook the bacon in the microwave or oven on very low heat until it’s basically ham, then use that to wrap with.
the problem with some of the really cheap stuff is that they bind a lot of water in it so it gets soggy anyways
TFW extra-thin bacon is considered "cheap" and "fake"
I'd pay extra for that if I had to! Though I do prefer prosciutto or serrano, they taste different in a good way.
Lol I've never seen that brand before, and for some reason there's just something hilarious to me about "Corn King brand Bacon"
This is the way.
I lovingly refer to this type as "fucked up bacon"
Ah yes, flacon
I don't know. It was a fad about 10 years ago for bacon everything. Even the Narwhal was bacon baconing at midnight. I imagine a lot of the recipes come from that craze, which was before decent AI.
Jesus Christ! Somebody vandalised the Prosciutto-wrapped food Wikipedia article!! 😮☹️
This person has never seen the smoker community. Everything wrapped in bacon and smoked.
