BACON REVUE (SCHINKEN SPECK)




Schinken Speck, Schinken Speck, Schinken Speck. Yeah, I got you huh? This is the act that has been in the Green Room for the bacon theater. This is a heavy hitter. It is a double smoked Pork Sirloin. It is from the best Meat Market in the Bay Area, Dittmer’s. You may be wondering why Emeril is the background. I have no idea! Well maybe because this bacon is kicked up several notches. It is the smoke Bomb! This is already cooked so you just need to add just a little bit to your dishes. I do not know if you can call it a true bacon (Cookiecrumb). It is definitely something special.
I have not fried it so I can not tell you about the texture. I did put some in Scalloped Potatoes and some Asparagus. It just rocked both dishes. It is a little salty. It has smoke for a new generation! The fat to meat ratio does not really apply on this little gem. It is going to receive a 4 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Cost: 10.98/pd (and worth every penny)
Where: Dittmer’s 400 San Antonio Road Mountain View, CA
(650) 941 - 3800

So is speck cured pork belly-the piece in your picture doesn't have the meat/fat layerings that I associate with pork belly. Whatever it is, it sure looks good.

Andrew, the Schinken Speck that I got from Dittmers has Pork Sirloin listed right under the Schinken Speck title. Mark who run's Dittmers called it "Bacon on Steroids". It is something special. Oh Yeah!!!
