What is cottage bacon?

[cjchaps]

I bought some at Sam's 'cause it was cheap and looked good. Anyone know what part of the pig this is from? I've never heard of the stuff before.

sorry, but I burst out laughing when I read this thread..

Have you eaten any of it yet? 😀

 

[cjchaps]

I don't usually have time to cook anything in the morning, so I'm waiting 'til the weekend to fry it up 😀

Congratulations, you bought yourself some pig penis.

btw, i'm joking. I have no idea what it is, but it would be funny if it was actually pig penis. Yummy...

Haha - I just laughed too - it sounds like the 'pork sword' of 'cottaging'.

Maybe cottage bacon is from home-grown pigs?

Google hasn't any ideas.

I think it's just a leaner type of regular bacon.

It is leaner than regular bacon and made from the pork shoulder. It is cured the same way as regular bacon so it tastes the same without all the fat. Dunno... pork fat rules.
