I add a mix of maple syrup, mustard and paprika.

And I mean real maple syrup, removed from trees within sight of ski areas.

If it's not worth cooking it correctly it not worth using it. For one
thing, it's not greasy enough. It's the bacon grease that makes
everything taste better.

In Holland I've grilled something that they call "spek". Kind of a cross cut pork chop, bacony, kind of thing. Not heavily smoked like "bacon". But comes out like something between bacon and a pork rind. The fat largely cooks off. The meat crisps up. And it's about the best thing you can eat. Unless you're trunky, it's not cock.

Growing up, we couldn't afford maple syrup. My mother only bought
corn syrup. I never tasted maple syrup until I was in the army. Today
I will never buy corn syrup. I only buy real maple syrup. I found
you can buy all natural real maple syrup for three bucks at Big Lots.


There's no need to fear if Trunky is near.

My grandma was a fine cook who was not above doing things the easy way
when there was no difference in the result. While she killed, plucked
and dissected chickens, she much preferred buying them cut up in a
package. Her parents may have made their own bacon from their own hogs,
but she bought hers in packages.

BTW, the Hormel pre-cooked microwave bacon from Costco and Sam's is
pretty good, and you can have just a few slices in half a minute instead
of cooking it all because it doesn't take any more time than cooking a
few slices.. Not AS good as home-cooked, but the advantages balance out.

That pre-cooked bacon is garbage. There is only ONE place I get my
bacon from. In the Hungarian neighborhood of Toledo, right around the
corner from Tony Packo's is a Hungarian meat market. They make their
own bacon and it's the best you can find.
