Title: Like Bacon? Try this. Post by: Popeye the Sailor on May 11, 2008, 08:28:09 PM So, one night, whilst stumbling in a drunken stupor through a supermarket, my buddy and I came across something I recognized from childhood.
It was a block of pork fat. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2484101126_f9b62eedb9.jpg?v=0) Like bacon, but without the meat. I was overcome with the need to buy this item and fry it. Preparations began: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/2483287275_fa3de1fe35.jpg?v=0) Despite my high spirits, those more-sober-than-I were concerned (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2134/2483287665_efd071e743.jpg?v=0) Take yer block o' pork: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/2484102498_ecfc92ba61.jpg?v=0) Slice it one way: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2484103366_6262f92797.jpg?v=0) Then the other: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/2484103996_052993094c.jpg?v=0) Fry: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3190/2483293465_35f4b1dc29.jpg?v=0) Until crispy, allow to drain: (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2259/2484108102_b61d7edf61.jpg?v=0) Eat: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3210/2484109366_167cc5ec01.jpg?v=0) Eat? (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2249/2484109530_87b093ccdd.jpg?v=0) Yes, eat: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/2484109700_3141bfe2f6.jpg?v=0) Then....listen to your heart pound as your veins clog. This food....is both disgusting and delicious in ways I cannot describe. We were loathe to try it, then unable to stop eating it. Thank you to Jamie for posing for the pics :) Title: Re: Like Bacon?
