My love of Bacon

Image
My love of bacon has taken me in many different culinary directions.  See  Heavenly Bacon First of all I do not eat pork or as  we tribesmen say  Treif .   What do we do then? We find an alternative or we make our own. I have eaten lots of Turkey Bacon which in my opinion is a poor substitute if you ask me.    I have eaten great Beef bacon but it's not available everywhere and somewhat expensive. I have see kosher beef bacon as high as 7 bucks for 4 oz. What is a Jew to do? Hey lets make our own beef bacon. This of course requires lots of research. Last thing you want to do is kill someone because you improperly   cured your meat. If you do not cure the the meat properly you risk creating the   Botulism  toxin.  If you hot smoke   the bacon which I do not recommend (to much fat rendering) than curing is unnecessary but my incredible bacon is  cold smoked .
