That is some good looking bacon there. Saw some pork belly at Costco but wife wants me to wait till after the holidays. As for blame, no blame is possible. I would say thanks to Bob and all who encouraged all of us to make bacon.
Nice batch of bacon. Lots of meat & little fat on that belly.
The local Costco quit carrying pork belly. Not a big problem... a Mexican market about 9 blocks away always has them in the meat locker.
When I order, they haul out a huge slab & ask how much of it do I want?
