The Best Bacon: Canadian Bacon!

The absolute best bacon I have ever tasted has got to be Canadian bacon. Now I know we may poke fun at our Canadian neighbors, what with the maple syrup, ice, and hockey jokes, but they have really got one thing right.. Canadian bacon!

Canadian bacon goes on everything. You can put it onto a sandwich, hamburger, hotdog, or even a pizza. It can be put into pastas, salads, and goes nicely even on kabobs. As a matter of fact, it's so good that there is even an ode to it.

An Ode to Canadian Bacon
“It tastes great on the barbecue, oven roasted, or fried. When you taste your first bite you will think you have gone to heaven and died. Try it with bean dip and sour cream on top, add in hot peppers, and make your friends eyeballs pop.

It's great for breakfast served with some eggs, or maybe for diner, with a side of frog legs.   
It's awesome for lunch with steamy French fries, or put it on top of some warm apple pies.

Cover it with cheese, slap on some thyme, put it on bread and you're having a good time! 

While bacon is good that much is true, you need to know more, so let me tell you. Canadian Bacon is the best; trust me my friend I do not jest. Head to the store as quick as you can, make yourself a sandwich and head to the den!”

I implore you, if you are looking for the best bacon you've ever tasted, then go out right now and grab yourself some Grade A Canadian Bacon! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Before You Freeze That Bacon Make Sure It’s Sealed Properly

Do you buy bacon in bulk?  Many people often wonder if freezing bacon will ruin its’ true flavor.  There is no simple answer to that question.  Many variables exist when discussing maintaining the quality of frozen bacon.  However, there are steps you can take to make sure that your frozen bacon tastes as delicious after you thaw it, as it would have if you cooked it the day you bought it.

One of the biggest reasons that any meat looses its quality when frozen is due to improper freezer packaging.  You likely have some experience with freezer burn, and know the havoc it can cause on everything in your freezer.  One way to avoid the same disaster to your bacon is to make sure that you have a properly sealed package.  If you bought your bacon in a sealed package at your local grocer, you can probably throw the bacon in the freezer as is.  However, if you bought straight from the butcher or deli counter, it will serve you well to take the time to make sure that your bacon is placed in a sealed and airtight storage container prior to freezing it.  Freezer burn is the most common reason for good bacon to be ruined. 

If you buy bacon in bulk, it may be a good idea to invest in an airtight food sealer.  Giving your packages an airtight vacuum seal is a great way to ensure that your bacon is safe in the freezer for months to come.  If you are interested in learning more about the storage options available to you, visit us at www.bacongifts.com.  You can find an entire selection of bacon related kitchenware, including bacon-freezing solutions.

Oh! Oh! I Love Bacon

You would not believe the number of bacon related gag gifts there are out there.  I was shocked and laughed so hard when first coming upon a website called Bacon Gifts. 

This website has everything you would ever need for gag gifts.  Everything from bacon air fresheners for your car, toothpicks flavored with bacon, band aids that look like a strip of bacon, brushing your teeth at night…use bacon dental floss, wash up those hands with bacon scented soap, the adventure of Mr. Bacon board game, need stress relief at work…use the bendable Mr. Bacon or get him the jar of baconaisse for his favorite sandwiches!

I Want to be in a Bacon Club

        Looking for a bacon club to join?  Yes, they do exist for you!  A variety to choose from is available at a moments notice.  Compliments go with the bacon such as wine and are available to join together in your club membership.  Some clubs can be expensive and have shorter trial memberships to see what you think.  Quick-get on your search engine and choose now and profess your love for the pig. 

What type of bacon suits you?  You could be the person that loves the standard fatty bacon or one that likes a variety of flavors.  Many options are available when joining a club.  The general categories are:              apple wood smoked, Canadian, cob smoked, hickory smoked, jowl & shoulder, maple & alder smoked, pepper and platinum.  Depending on the club you choose to join, you can choose from more than just the meaty bacon itself. 

Desserts, condiments, jams & jellies, salts & rubs, sauces, savory & sweet snacks, and even honey are available with the amazing aroma and taste of bacon.  I remember purchasing strawberry flavored bacon gum.  Sounds absolutely ridiculous doesn’t it?  Well, you should have seen peoples’ faces when I took two pieces out of my purse and then blew bubbles with them. 

I personally like variety, and like changing my choices each month.  Availability allows me to choose from a “bacon is meat candy” menu that sends bacon of the month straight to my home.  Another is more family oriented and the kids love it, it sends the bacon of the month along with pancakes and lastly, the nitrate free bacon. 

Okay, so now that us humans are covered, what about our dogs?  We all know that dogs love the bacon taste and the specific formulations for the dogs make it easier to digest.  Well yes, a club exists for our furry friends!  It’s like Halloween candy for dogs.  It will be consumed before the nights’ over!  For man’s best friend their clubs will offer items such as:

·         Bacon jerky-in strips and looks like an actual strip you take off the skillet.

·         Bones-are real pig bones that remain from the country hog. 

·         Mini ham bones-made from ham shanks.

·         Pork dog bones-ham bones that have been hickory smoked

·         Specialized t-shirts with “I love bacon”

·         Bacon and cheese bone

Who knew there were so many ways to love your pet?  Of course, most of us want to give treats such as this in moderation as it can add up.  But imagine the Christmas stocking!  Your dog will be the first one to rip the stocking off its hanger while the kids are still coming down the stairs.  Be the first in your circle of friends to pick a bacon club to join!
