H2o Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 That's crazy. God knows I hope this info doesn't fall into the wrong Frat's hands. They'll be cut up chairs all over campuses everywhere
KD in CA Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Bacon. It's almost as useful as beer. p.s. We need a bacon emoticon.
The Dean Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Prosciutto is not bacon. That's the point. This contraption uses bacon and prosciutto. It's the bacon that supplies the real fire power. Now pancetta, on the other hand...
BuffaloBill Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Prosciutto is not bacon. Arguably very expensive bacon.
buckeyemike Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Arguably very expensive bacon. Prosciutto is very expensive ham. That is all. Carry on.
KD in CA Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Prosciutto is not bacon. Are you being a bacon snob?
The Poojer Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 why waste perfectly good bacon...or prosciutto...and no one gets to eat it?????? common man!!!!!!! http://www.popsci.com/bacon
LewPort71 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 my thoughts exactly pooj....Get some lettuce and tomatoes... I am headed to MB for some golf NEXT Friday... Read about the fun you had there.
The Dean Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Arguably very expensive bacon. Pancetta is very expensive (and very delicious) bacon. As Buckeyemike noted, Prosciutto is very expensive (and very delicious) ham. Next thing someone will claim they both come from the same animal. A wonderful, magical animal.
Bullpen Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Pancetta is very expensive (and very delicious) bacon. As Buckeyemike noted, Prosciutto is very expensive (and very delicious) ham. Next thing someone will claim they both come from the same animal. A wonderful, magical animal. Isn't prosciutto from the an animal very similar to the Bacon? I mean it's the same four-legged animal as the Bacon, it's just a farm animal only found in Italy right? I mean, there are Bacon farms in the deep south I've heard, so there must be a similar thing in Italy and it's called a Prosciutto farm right? Mingia, now I'm fuggin confused.

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa: No. Homer: Ham? Lisa: No. Homer: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal. Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S92dHxgZ5Ag
Chef Jim Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Are you being a bacon snob? Food snob....Chef, remember.

Bacon is smoked and or cured meat from a pig generally from the back or even the loin where prociutto is cured only and comes from the leg.
stuckincincy Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 The Wonderful World of Bacon and things called Bacon: http://www.foodsubs.com/MeatcureBacon.html#bacon I remember in previous times, frying up a half-pound of American bacon and eating it up, and myself and my ancestors pouring off the fat from the pan for other usages.
Chef Jim Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 That's the point. This contraption uses bacon and prosciutto. It's the bacon that supplies the real fire power. Now pancetta, on the other hand... No it uses only prociutto. I used prosciutto (Italian for "expensive bacon") because it is a superior engineering grade of meat. I wrapped slices of it into thin tubes and baked them overnight in a warm oven to drive off all the water. Then I bundled seven of those together, wrapped them in additional slices, and baked the bundle again until it was hard and dry.

No it's not Chef... it comes from the North American Animal called "Bacon." It resides mostly in the southern regions of North America. Similarly, but not the same animal is the North American Rib, which is where we get spare ribs from. When the Rib has off spring we take them from their mother and butcher them and that's where we get baby back ribs from!!! Geez, for a chef you sure don't know much about the sources of the food you prepare. And as I've said before Prociutto comes from the Italian animal called Pociutto! In fact Prociutto translated literally to 'Merican means "The Fancy Bacon Animal."
