The new bacon????

[Steve B]

Has anyone seen, heard of, or tried this?
Fully cooked pork sausage strips. I can see this being great on pizza and in omelets. Any other suggestions?

[Jfrosty27]

I have tried these. My wife brought them home once. Just terrible. Will never buy again.

[Steve B]

Ok. I shall find out soon as I plan on using a couple of strips for an omelette. Will give you my thoughts afterwards.
Curious. How did you cook them? As it says they’re fully cooked so I think just heating them up instead of actually cooking them in a pan or on the grill like they suggest might be a better option.

[Jfrosty27]

I cooked them in a skillet to brown a little bit. We found them flavorless except for a lot of salt. Weird texture too. Hey, you might love them.

[Steve B]

First impression. Haven’t cooked it yet, but like you said. Not really a sausagey taste and the texture seems more like a bad ham. I’ll follow up after eating my omelette.

[smokenoob]

They lost me at "like bacon"
I would rather cook a pack of bacon, eat a few strips and the rest in the fridge for BLT tomorrow, a few heated next to the eggs next day, some crumpled into the potato salad the next day, and some crumpled onto salad next day, and repeat!

[Steve B]

I will have to agree. Not impressed.

[Mr. Bones]

This is a Very Solid Bacon Strategy, I will adapt mine, accordingly...

Many Thanks, Brother!

[DaveD]

Will be interested to hear the outcome! But the knee jerk reaction is, if there were ever a food to which "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" would apply, it would have to be bacon...

[Steve B]

You are absolutely right. After trying this out. I will not buy it again.

[texastweeter]

Attjack, you don't want fully cooked bacon in the shape of a sausage?

[Attjack]

texastweeter pass

[STEbbq]

They are awful and have a terrible mouthfeel. Avoid and run away.

[Steve B]

I agree. Has a bad ham texture. It won’t show up in my fridge again.

[Attjack]

I did not care for them.

[Steve B]

Me either.

[Steve B]

So the omelette looks great and smelled great, probably because of the amazing olive oil I used.
But that being said it kinda tasted ok but it tasted more like bad ham and had a rubbery texture.
I will not be buying this stuff again.
Anyway a couple of pics.

[klflowers]

Good looking omelette though

[Mr. Bones]

Great Lookin Omelette, but summa us Nerds wanna know, what oil did ya use?

[Steve B]

Mr. Bones I recently joined this here club. And I say enough how much a difference this EVOO makes. Mind you that I don’t like olives but this stuff is incredible.

[DaveD]

Thanks for blazing that trail, so the rest of us don't have to!

[Steve B]

Yeah. Thought it had potential. But hell no. I don’t think this stuff will be on the market very long.

[DaveD]

I am an experimentalist by vocation and training. At some point, one has to just do the experiment! We thank you for your service

[rickgregory]

If i wanted sausage in this form, I'd make or buy good bulk sausage and feed it through a jerky gun. That said, I'm fine crumbling it in dishes where I want small pieces.

[Steve B]

Or a slicing machine. Crumbling is definitely the better option.

[klflowers]

Anything labeled bacon that is not from the belly of a pig is a bad idea

[klflowers]

texastweeter I had never heard of cottage bacon. I got a couple butts in the freezer, I can see trying this out one day soon

[texastweeter]

Its great!

[texastweeter]

GoDuke I forgot about beef bacon. Made some akaushi peppered beef bacon a while back. My wife's favorite sammich is now a baguette with fig jam, brie cheese, and beef bacon. All pressed and toasted in butter. Was killer!

[Bkhuna]

Pass.

[FireMan]

You can call me sausage ………..and you can call me bacon………….
but ya doesn’t has to call me sausage-bacon.

[Steve B]

Or late for dinner.

[texastweeter]

Depends on the sausage if it bothers me.

[bbqLuv]

But cooked in an oven would it be Sausage-Baken?
