Where’s The Beef, Er, Bacon?

Filed under: Savvy Eats and Drinks — admin at 7:40 pm on Monday, August 4, 2008

Summer is primo BLT fixin’ time at our house. There’s nothing better than a BLT made with homegrown tomatoes.

Savvy Dad made BLTs this past weekend and got the fancy Hormel bacon out. You know, the center cut “good stuff.” Savvy Dad noticed that when he took the bacon out of the package, Hormel must have misunderstood center cut and chosen the fatty cut.

Center cut my ass. Or should that be a pig’s ass? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Below is a photo of what a piece of the center cut bacon cooked down to. The package purports that this more expensive center cut line has 25 percent less fat than their regular bacon. If that’s the case, then their regular bacon is like a can of lard, and I quote Savvy Dad on that bit of commentary.

We are obviously having bad luck with meat this summer.

Dude,what is with y’all and meat this summer?
I’ve noticed that same thing with all bacon lately. It doesn’t matter what we buy, it’s like 90% fat. Yuck!
