store bought bacon on the left, homemade salted bacon on the top right,homemade cane syrup rosemary bacon on the bottom right
(can you hear the sad trombone playing?)
The homemade bacon is so thick and delicious, you can really sink your teeth into it. It’s moist and juicy inside but crisp on the outside….the store bought bacon has no inside so there is really no comparison.
The homemade bacon has a rich smoky flavor but it’s not too strong, you can really taste the slightly sweet flavor of the pork as well. Unfortunately the flavor of the store bought bacon was weak and wimpy, there was not much to it at all.
So the verdict is : I will take a little effort and a bit of time to make my bacon at home. It is TOTALLY worth it.
