Home style Bacon......yummo!

[KarenBravo 9,011]

Here's one from a Vegan site.

https://veganhealth.org/gallstone-disease-in-vegetarians/

 

Another one that claims eating lots of fibre lowers gall-stone rates in women, not men.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6412457/

 

Here's one that actually claims that long term vegetarianism actually promotes gall-stones.

Hi Grumpy. Would love your recipe and how to make this bacon. I too like you don't like fatty bacon.

 

Looks scrumptious mate.

 

Hope to have a reply soon.

I added Pink salt to get a more bacon like colour.  One teaspoon Pink Salt, one tablespoon of regular salt and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for 1kg.  Rub all over the meat, put in zip lock bag.   Put in fridge for 7 days,  turn over daily.  Day 8 pull out of bag and wash off.  Dry with paper towel.  Stick in the BBQ and cook for 1.5 to 2.O hours. I  been using a bit of fresh cut Tamarind wood to generate some smoke over some charcoal for heat.  2.O hours is tops for my little charcoal burner. Have fun with it!

A study published in the British Medical Journal in 1985 reported that meat-eaters are twice as likely to develop gallstones as vegetarians (Pixley et al., 1985). Since then the low incidence of gallstones in vegetarians compared to meat-eaters has been consistently reported (Key et al., 1999).

Yes of course. as they include processed meat in the mix. Hamburgers, hot dogs, all that muck... quite often mixed with noxious chemicals and sugar. The "twice as likely" still means a relatively low occurrence of gall stones  AND  many people have cured their gallstones through eating uniquely carnivore. Try, amongst others, https://www.dietdoctor.com/gallstones-and-low-carb

Consistently reported by organisations with close relationships with the food industry which prefers us to eat multi-processed , sterilised and poisoned vegetable diets (think Monsanto, pesticides, etc).

There is nothing better than getting out of bed in the morning with a strong smell of bacon wafting around the house, conversely there is nothing worse than getting up in the morning with a strong smell of fish, and the smell has a habit of lingering.

But what about kippers?

You're right; we are all going to die........eventually.

The last thing I want to be is the healthiest corpse in the grave-yard.

Hey GJ,

Tried a black pepper and molasses dry cured bacon? Great stuff. Ingredients pepper. molasses, sugar and salt. You don't need the pink salt. I have recipes (on a remote drive somewhere) for farm made sausages western and some Isaan ones. You will need a mincer and spout. I buy salted pig intestines (skins) by the kilogram at an old style Thai general store. 

If you are interested in the recipes, let me know and I will try to find the drive. We should start a pinned thread on farm produce and recipes.

What area are you? The Thai general store? Where? I've brought natural skins from UK and NZ but you can buy them in Bangkok from a main suppler. I haven't because the quantity you have to buy is too much for my requirements.

I have never had a problem with Brussel Sprouts.  My mum had a way of cooking them which made them tasty.

chilled brussel sprout soup is delicious too!

I have been making my own bacon, unsmoked ham and sausages for a few years now and I reckon that I should be good for a few years.

 

My mum used to cook bacon and eggs, 25 years in the military I used to eat them all the time. My first wife cooked them once a week but now I cook them myself.

 

14 years ago I had 2 stents put in.

 

BTW I am 76 and still going fairly well.

I have a few recipes as well.

No packaging, just a bag of salt with the skins in it. Buy by the kilogram from memory. Take as many as you need and soak them in water to remove the salt. 

The ones I used to get from Makro were a PITA. I used to thaw the lot out and they came out looking like a rats nest. I used chopsticks cut in half, picked an end and untangled it, wound it around the chopstick  and cling filmed it, I put I think 3 of them into a Ziploc bag and refroze them.

Makro used to sell them but that was a few years ago.

Our local wet market sells fresh untreated 50 baht a kilo. Treated and salted 250 baht a kilo.

looks nothing like bacon, he is confusing ham with bacon. terrible crime.

That ain't bacon, there's no white fat at all...
