Supermarket Standoff: Best Tasting Bacon

[goinggreyfast]

OK all you bacon buffs, here's what you have been waiting for!

Supermarket Standoff: Best Tasting Bacon - Yahoo! Shopping

 

[Expat]

I ate a pack of that same type Oscar Mayer last week. It was very good. I still like the smoked pepper bacon from Shipshewana best.

Any bacon is good bacon.

I'll take none of the above....

I've not tasted any 'commercially available' (read that as mass packaged/produced) bacon that even comes close to the bacon that we buy from the Value Market Butcher shop in Mooresville, IN.

Picked up 5lbs yesterday

That's where we by all ours, but it's gone up about a dollar a pound over the last 6-8 months....Still the best and cheapest out there....Try their $1.79lb country sausage....I've heard the smoked chops are awesome too. We buy the country style ribs from them when they are on sale like this week, $1.89lb and the ground chuck ROCKS at $2.59lb......

I LOVE VALUE MARKET!!! They have locations in Cloverdale and Gosport too, but Mooresville is right up the street from us.
Here's my last Bacon buy from them.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean for that last post to sound like a commercial. I just really like this place a lot. They are certainly worth checking out if you are near one and looking for a real butcher....

 

[AmericanBob]

i don't know where they get it from, but the thick sliced stuff at Joe's Butcher Shop in carmel is pretty darn tasty.

best supermarket bacon hands down is wrights.

Hey now, don't be hatin' on the turkey bacon. If you have cholesterol issues then turkey bacon is better than no bacon.

BTW, I've had turkey bacon before. It's not that bad. I was on a hunting trip and I saw the turkey bacon package and thought to myself, "Just great, fake bacon, this is going to suck." But my preconceived notations and judgements were quickly changed. It was actually pretty good; as a matter of fact, that one experience single-handedly changed my opinion on turkey bacon.

Would I buy turkey bacon? Probably not unless I was trying to watch my cholesterol or something. Would I turn turkey bacon down? Nope, I'll eat anything that resembles bacon.

Bacon is like making love.
It's all good.
Just some's a little better than others.

Are you by chance single? I'm married and what is this "making love " thing all about?

I was reminiscing.
I've been married for almost forty one years.
At my age my memory is one of the few things that works properly any more.

Thank the Lord you have that still. I forget all kinds of stuff any more.

What was this thread about? Not gettin any?

 

[goinggreyfast]

What was this thread about? Not gettin any?

It went from buying bacon to makin bacon... Whodathunkit?

 

[littletommy]

Wrights bacon is the best store brand, Fishers Mellwood is a close second. Not quite as good as bad sex, but hey, nothing really is.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Store bought Williams, Wright and Plumrose in that order

Slab bacon(butcher style) is usually the best though

The only bad bacon is the bacon you don't get. That being said, I have no use for, nor any good words to say about, fake (turkey, tofu, etc.) bacon. Whoever conceived such a monstrosity should be taken out and shot repeatedly!
The best packaged bacon I've found in the Indy area is Wrights. Some of the bacon you get from the butcher at certain stores can be terrific. The best (if most expensive) bacon I've had is from Burger's Smokehouse. http://www.smokehouse.com/burgers.nsf/mcategory/Bacon
