I just caught up on reading the posts. I just bought a package of Benton’s bacon on Saturday. The butcher shop is right next to the Farmer’s market & I splurged on a package. It is very thick cut & the most amazing bacon I have ever eaten. Truly worth the splurge! I also bought a container of their homemade pimiento cheese w/ Benton’s bacon. It’s good, but I guess I prefer the cheese only version. I also got dry aged sirloin steaks a few weeks ago from the same place. I have never had dry aged steak & it was delicious. The flavor is so rich, almost gamy.
Tonight we are having their “smash burgers!”
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.
