PORK BELLY

We made pork belly, yeah, cause what’s yummier than that?

And Bob, I am so sorry, you were much more than pork belly, more special than the best italian prosciutto, sweeter than the crispiest pancetta, and more interesting than a specialty salami. Not to worry, nobody is eating Bob, he was a rescue pig living his best life until he reached old age. 

Every day, I miss your big appetite and your cute grunting. And you were probably one of the few pigs that attended a highschool prom. You were undoubtedly the star of the Beverly hills dance  as Casper’s date in your black bow tie. Your attendance was noted in the HW Chronicle newspaper as the “top 4” school event of 2009.

And so I am not over Christmas, I am not over “Bob”, but I am over Christmas ham.

BOOOOOOORING.

And pork belly is so much yummier.

And cheaper.

With our ultra delicious pork belly  we made raw chard with cranberry and pepitas, bread salad with cranberries and pine nuts, sweet potato fries with seriously lime dressing and rum cranberries, beets with green beans, a salad with pear and blue cheese, and a mountain of Swedish pancakes.

so PORK BELLY Is really super cheap, and its uncured bacon, and what else?????

Is affordable DIY bacon, not cured – not smoked, not sliced, but otherwise it is the same ingredient as bacon.
