Back Bacon


Here is a links for curing back bacon. The UK bacon not the canadian one.

http://www.localfoodheroes.co.uk/?e=541

Would there  be a market to sell this to UK expats in a local butcher shop in the US it seems this is what they miss most, advertise it in the pubs on beer mats we all know a few pints and  ppl will buy anything :) I saw sites that sold imported stuff for $8 per Lb with $70 postage so someone would like to buy it local.

Jokes aside since im not a meatcutter where should go to buy a side of pork with the loin and the belly attached (would it be called a side of bacon)so i could cure it in bottom of the fridge and roll it up after and tie to slice when needed? Thats to say cure a back back with the middle and streaky rashers together.

How many have done this?

Probably a question for old timers not ppl who work in supermarkets

RE: Back Bacon


you never know till you try, you can get a half from a slaughterhouse
But I think I would be careful selling it with out a permit, maybe to friends only till you see where you going with it. I do know two guys making home made sausage in their house and selling to friends, they thinking now about opening a sausage store

 I think you will be better of using a half pork loin, unless you have a large fridge.

I use a salt and sugar mix and then vacpacked for 2 weeks, treacle or molassis is another favourite.

You can't beat a great british bacon butty.

I have made Cottage Bacon... that's just Boston Butt boned-out. Pretty much any part of the pig makes for great bacon.

The best bacon I have had came from an enormous sow who put up a good fight. The stubborn gal was 605-lbs dressed... if I remember correctly... we got four enormous slabs of bacon from her belly.

I have picture of it somewhere hanging next to a side of beef.
