I could never figure out why folks loved them so much!<BR/><BR/>I haven't used the rind yet (the bacon itself turned out good, or at least the kids shoved it down pretty fast). I made cracklins' with fresh rind a few weeks ago, and my wife has lived on it for the past two weeks.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03286748406979546523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332820739056189386.post-89736610976031161112008-06-10T20:56:00.000-07:002008-06-10T20:56:00.000-07:00I am sorry Andrew, I took the bait. <BR/> When you have a piece of bubble gum, do you eat the wrapper? When you are eating a tamale, do you chew on the husk. When you are having that perfect slice of smoked,slightly salty, and sweet bacon Would you serve it with a piece of bacon gum. I do not think so. Rind on is just Wrong!!!!!!!!Chilebrownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02321501332367002893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332820739056189386.post-27056421224438425502008-06-10T16:42:00.000-07:002008-06-10T16:42:00.000-07:00Cut off the rind ??? I suppose you have your toast dry, as well? Throw away the gum along with the wrapper? Make gravy and not use it?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I was the one that misinformed CB of the defunct market. When I was there it looked as he described, but there was no sign letting us know they were still in business. In fact, even the windows were papered over!<BR/><BR/>It was scary. So, was glad to find out it still exists. Am marinating flank steak with onions/bell peppers. Might even fire up the grill?<BR/><BR/>BigglesRev.
