MMMMM…Bacon….

I got two pounds of bacon in the mail the other day.  Now, this isn’t a random happening as you may think.  I don’t just randomly get bacon in the mail.

No, this was planned bacon in the mail.

If you are a serious baconista then Bacon Freak is your website of choice.  Seriously, with a tagline that says “Bacon is meat candy” how can you go wrong?

I got two types.  The one that I tested today was the country style and it is amazing.  First of all the meat is marbled quite evenly, and cut not too thin or thick but just right for crispy meaty bacon.  The fat is beautiful and white, not greasy looking and it turns crisp and golden when it is fried.

You won’t believe how the house smelled this morning.

So, I figure that country style bacon should be served with a standard country breakfast.  I made scrambled eggs, bacon, and whole grain toast with butter and honey.  The bacon did not shrink away to a micro-size either.  It maintained nearly the same size as when raw.

Perfect.  Nice contrast between salty and sweet.  I can’t wait to try the next batch..Cajun style.  I will be making a special recipe with that and reviewing it in the next few days.

I have been having trouble getting the website today but the blog works great.  This bacon is definitely a keeper…and stay tuned because we will be doing a giveaway soon!
