Country ham has a very strong taste that some people don’t like. I didn’t like it the one time I had it; but I’m kind of interested in the bacon.
I have had what I thought was country ham & it was really salty & chewy, but not gamey. Then at a little market in NC I bought a hunk of country ham to flavor something & I did not care for the taste.
I will say that even after washing my hands several times the smokey Benton’s smell was still strong. I didn’t mind because it smelled so good! Have half the bacon left & will cook it up tomorrow. I am going to stop by the butcher shop today when we go to town.
Hope your Saturday is wonderful & thank you for your thread that I look forward to every week!
