The best beef bacon in the world, part 2.

January 31, 2012 10 Comments

Beef bacon is back, baby.

I am not fickle on this subject.  Back in 2010 I said I found the world’s best beef bacon and I meant it.  I haven’t wavered.  I only quit raving about it to you because Richard’s Meat Market in Fayetteville stopped selling it.  So sad, so sad.

But wait!  There is glorious news for both of us!

Bentonville Butcher and Deli carries the Swiss Meat & Sausage Company’s hickory smoked beef bacon!  It’s about time!

“Quality Goes In Before Our Name Goes On” is the company motto for Swiss Meat & Sausage Co. Quality is exactly the word to describe this bacon.

Think brisket with a twist.  There are no nitrates to worry about.  Just pure beef flavor.

Yes, this is expensive and you won’t get a billion slices to feed an army.  Don’t worry; you don’t need a billion slices.  Two slices are meaty enough to feel satisfied and the flavor explosion in your mouth will last long enough to make you pleased throughout breakfast.

I’m not kidding folks, this really is the best beef bacon in the world.

Next steps:

Get out your pencil and write on your shopping list that you must pop on over to Bentonville Butcher to snag a package of beef bacon.

Once you try it, your pork and turkey bacon breakfast friends will start to miss you.

Eat well, my friends.  Eat well.

    What are the odds?!

    Isn't that farm one of your neighbors? I am going to go google it and order some myself! I do have a disclaimer about "the worlds best" since I haven't ACTUALLY traveled the world to compare yet. It's a good life's mission.

    Let me know how it tastes!

    This is so exciting. I love bacon, but I don't like eating pork because I read an article once that said pigs have the same amount of memory and emotion as dogs. Sad. But pork can be so yummy, especially in the form of bacon. So now you're telling me there is beef bacon? Oh happy day!!!
    (Yes, I know there is turkey bacon, and I like it, but it's just not quite the same thing)

    Who doesn't like bacon. Bacon, by far, is Lisa's favorite breakfast meat. I'll have to go by and get some and surprise her. Thanks for the reco…

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

In pursuit of small joys that add simplicity to life. + @nwafoodie

There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am rea There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am ready for it! Yet..... that doesn't mean that I'm still hopeful for some cool mornings where we can light a fire!

There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.

Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!

Microwave turntable = quick, fast, speed

Record player turntable = slow, easy, chill

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill. 

Now, to get a record player...

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
