The all-new where to buy bacon thread
The all-new where to buy bacon thread
The locally produced bacon offerings are all much of a muchness, always smoked and shrinks like all buggery.
I find the unsmoked middle and back cuts that are made for foreigners are mostly tasteless and packed with water so you get that nasty scum on everything.
I have heard that some of the bacon offerings in Makro are quite decent but I didn't see any middle or back bacon, usually the same streaky stuff, probably all smoked as well?
I was pleasantly surprised with some Yorkies skin on streaky bacon I tried the other day. I haven't bought their stuff in years since it was all getting tasteless and overpriced. This bacon fried up nice, smells and tastes good with minimal shrinkage and no scum. Anyone tried their other bacon cuts?
The floor is now open.

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
The best bacon I came across in Udon Villa Market freezer , sadly no longer available,
came in smoked and non-smoked, equivalent to the Tulip brand in the UK, sadly missed.
The Yorkies skin-on is a reasonable substitute . Best, in my opinion, is from C2MU, a Prime Foods
product, thin, smoked with maple, quite delicious. Avoid the thick cut though.

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
Yes, I remember getting that imported bacon when Villa had their first outlet at Tukcom. I find the Prime foods unsmoked bacon totally flavorless and it has that water injection, scum thing going on when cooking. I'm trying to get away from smoked or flavored stuff. Maybe they do that to make it taste of anything. Anyway, I'll give the thin maple smoked a go.stereolab wrote: ↑January 28, 2022, 3:55 pmThe best bacon I came across in Udon Villa Market freezer , sadly no longer available,

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
I have never found good bacon in Udon, so I always sprinkle a little salt and ground peppercorn on just one side while cooking in a frying pan, and it really brings out the flavor.

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
Not a bad idea mate. Will take a bit of experimenting to get things to an acceptable level. All seems to be based on Pig Belly streaky type bacon favoured by North Americans but there was a guy in Pattaya when I lived there who had many types of cuts and not one was injected with water. Bloody excellent but a bit pricey. You gets what you pay for.thewatchman wrote: ↑January 28, 2022, 6:15 pmAnyone had a go at doing their own?ive thought about it but not got round to it,loads of vids on youtube you can buy the curing mix on lazada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRa7byYbMY4&t=321s

Bacon is NOT bacon unless it is smoked.
Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
We did it on a work site in China when we had four field crews gagging for any sort of bacon. Some guys bought the curing mix and parephernalia from Australia and the mechanics built an impressive smoker. We found you could inject and cure and smoke just about any local "mystery meat" and make it taste like bacon.thewatchman wrote: ↑January 28, 2022, 6:15 pmAnyone had a go at doing their own?ive thought about it but not got round to it,loads of vids on youtube you can buy the curing mix on lazada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRa7byYbMY4&t=321s

Yes, same in most Middle East countries, beef, chicken and turkey bacon were all pretty acceptable. The Chinese would have being using field rats mixed with road kill.tamada wrote: ↑January 28, 2022, 6:52 pmWe did it on a work site in China when we had four field crews gagging for any sort of bacon.

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
I don't mind smoked bacon, just bored with it. Wiltshire back bacon from the UK isn't smoked, it's dry-cured. Neither is Canadian bacon. I like the taste of pork, not chemicals. I reckon hardly any of the locally, mass produced smoked bacon is really smoked. They use chemicals, just like we did in China and if you go overboard, it's inedible.

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
Unfortunately most bacon is NOT really smoked. The flavor and preservatives are chemicals. My grandfather had his own smokehouse and the majority of home raised pork was smoked without chemicals. Salt was the main additive.

I dare you to go to Glasgow and repeat that loudly at 10pm of an evening in a crowded central area. If you ever get back I will refund the flight and medical costs.stattointhailand wrote: ↑January 29, 2022, 3:31 pmChocolate covered bacon? ......some clown will deep fry a Mars bar next

Re: The all-new where to buy bacon thread
Before it closed l bought very good smoked bacon from The Good Corner Restauant/ Bar in Nong Khai.
I assume the bar with same name at entrance to Nutty Park will have it also. I buy my bread there so will ask next time I go.
