Wow. That's all I can say. This bacon was bought from a farmers market and was amazing. I just panned cooked it at a low temperature. The bacon definitely looked different raw, but looked amazing once it was done.

Was a very different texture though. I never got crunchy/crumbly crispy though, still had a good chew to it, but such a rich flavor and not masked with a maple syrup taste. I'm going to use the rest of the bacon for BLTs tonight. Mmmmmm.
 
I just recently discovered the thick sliced peppered bacon at my local butcher. It is only $2.99/lb which is basically the sale price for prepackaged bacon, but it is 100% more crackin'.
 
yeah I am finding local business for various things and often i find it either better quality, cheaper, and/or better service. Speaking of which i need to hit up midwestern meats.

If you don't like maple bacon don't buy maple bacon. Most of us normal folks prefer the hickory style.
 
about 11pm last night I awoke my wife who was sleeping off a headache by starting up 5 slices of bacon in the frypan. hehe. just sitting there playing burnout paradise on the 360 and thought to my self 'damn, self, bacon sounds good about now'.

lol

/need to add that I showered the bacon as it was frying with fresh cracked black pepper.

//yes as good as it sounds. mid-way between chewy and crispy.

//it made up kindof for no sexy time last night.
