I miss the days of getting it for $1-$2 a lb before obama.
Now I just stock up when it’s $2.49 or less. I fried up some this morning. Some for an omelet for my husband and the rest I’m putting in a elk/beef meatloaf for dinner. Hooray for whiskey glaze and bacon.

Mine are planted, growing and will be ready in a month. New seeds will be coming the first of March too.

Pumps were dry 3 hours later fortunately I bought a 10lb box of bacon:)

Was hoping a bacon shortage would lead to more hogs on feed, leading to more demand for corn, leading to better prices for corn. Come on, America, eat more bacon!

Ironically the dumbest looking animal (pig) is actually one of the smartest and they are much better at tracking people/things down than a bloodhound.

Or whatever language they use in Somalia.

Reminds me of the spaghetti harvest April Fool joke on the BBC.

[I want the USA back]

Eat more bacon.

Do they still use pigs in France to find truffles?

I will ALWAYS be worried about a bacon shortage.

The taste of the pork bellies would probably be determined by how they were cured.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

But I’m not looking to brine and smoke them. Just curious how they’d taste fried like Bacon, and served with eggs.

It’s the meat from Heaven.

[Farmer Dean]

Well, if they’re raw I’d expect them to taste a lot like a pork chop.et us know how they work out.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Yeah! I think I’m going to have to experiment with them.

“It’s the meat from Heaven.”

And a sign that Jesus loves us!
