no pics yet, but this place has turned into a veritable deli.

so far i've sliced and vac-bagged pancetta, loin bacon, and sweet maple bacon. i have some savory bacon on deck, and three duck prosciutto breasts after that.

giving the stuff as christmas gifts. nothing says "merry christmas" like searing abdominal cramps and nausea.

this was what it looked like a few weeks ago (November 18th) in the fridge

    Looks & sounds good, looking forward to trying it. I’ve taken the liberty of re-sending my address, for the third time, so my package doesn’t get ‘lost’ in the mail again this year - sheesh

    I was just wondering last night about how your pancetta was coming along. Have you cooked some up? How did it turn out?

    i cooked the trimmings (from squaring up the ends) the other day to top some soup. wife is making clam chowder now with some trimmings from today.

    the stuff is great. been eating it raw. the much drier end cuts are my favorite frankly. almost like prosciutto.

    how do you sear those? TRex? Or do you hot tub them?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
