Lisa: I’m going to become a vegetarian
Homer: Does that mean you’re not going to eat any pork?
Lisa: Yes
Homer: Bacon?
Lisa: Yes Dad
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: Dad! all those meats come from the same animal!
Homer: Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!
“It’s still good, it’s just a little airborne!”
"inverted belly"- ah yes, the back.
I learn so much from these videos, but all I take away is that I miss Ben's mustache.
Did ben get botox or is his skin just smooth asl
@@martinvarner It's just smoooooooth baby
Brent's coq must slide in much easier without the mo.
Found the jowl in South Carolina years ago. Dropped the slices into a deal fryer. Mind blowing amazing. Still trying to recapture the moment.
Back bacon at least in UK has a fatty tail. Was slightly disappointed that u did not make middle bacon
They HAVE to be married. The bromance is on another level! Hahahaha love them!
A weekly episode with this pairing is my Christmas wish
In England we have back bacon and belly on ever shelf everywhere all the time
I live in a city where you outta grab belly bacon from the Asian store
You also have an old lady you bend the knee to. Your country is pathetic.
@@WembyShesty A lady with more time in uniform than yours, and she can still negotiate a ramp.
We call yo' mamma back bacon and we have her on everrryyyyy shelffff cheeoowww
@@WembyShesty thats a bit harsh man and yea old traditions die hard especially royalty but Japan has a prime minister as well as a emperor are they pathetic to you as well ?
You guys and your team are always on top. Thanks.
Skin on thick bacon like that is awesome. Crispy and chewy at the same time. It's what i've grown up with and I love it.
0:06 is the guy in the back drinking cooking wine out of the bottle then putting it back on the shelf?
Possibly, he could be reusing the bottle, like when some cooks use soup containers for their water bottles. But by the way he is stammering I guess wine
It's perrier
It's a rare thing in the UK any more, but when I was growing up (30 years ago) it was possible to get middle bacon - where the belly is left attached to the loin and folded over.
Also, smoked bacon in the UK tends to be cold smoked, so it still has the flavour but the meat is uncooked (similar to smoked salmon), and requires grilling or frying.
I learned about the book charcuterie from the Great Lake Anthony Bourdain. And I am so glad that I grabbed a copy of that book from my local bookstore. Yes I had to order it and wait but it was better than doing it online I actually got to talk to somebody in person. In my opinion the best recipes in the world are in this book and I suggest to anyone grab it and try making your own bacon or ham or pancetta if you have the room.
The reason Americans call back bacon "Canadian bacon" is because peameal bacon (one of the most common types of back bacon) originated in Canada.
DustInMyBum isn’t peameal good
I thought that it was because Canada is on the back of America.
@@tarmac1697 peameal is amazing
You guys are so cute! This is a year ago one it just watched but I can see from your up to date ones your still adorable and very informative! I've learned so much from you guys and I thank you for making videos that help me learn and make me smile!☺👍💕
Great episode thanks. What is your ratio of salt to sugar? I have cooked bacon that leaves a lot of residue in the bottom of the cast iron frying pan and I think that is from the sugar in the bacon so I want to get it right.
Another great episode guy's.
These 2 need longer episodes!
Thanks!! You guys are great, I've learned a lot about meat and butchery from you. Sweet smoker set up too!! A NYC back alley with a pan of meat sitting on a trash can. Lmao! Thanks again
You guys are awesome!! "Canadian bacon. We dont kow what happens in Canadia" 😂😂👊👊👍👍
Love this show
You're right, in England "Canadian" bacon is known as just bacon or occasionally back bacon. We call your belly bacon "streaky" bacon. The bacon in Eastern and Central Europe is interesting, it comes pre cooked and smoked but not sliced.
Adam Smith I’m from the west and I’ve never heard it called streaky bacon. We call belly bacon just bacon. And the back bacon
@@sk1ppercat912 The West of England? I would be extremely surprised if you were from England and had never heard it called 'streaky bacon'. My point was that in England that's how we call it, if you're from the West as in the Western world or American West then I'm sure you have other names. www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/281037392?sc_cmp=ppc*GHS+-+Grocery+-+New*PX+%7C+Shopping+GSC+%7C+All+Products*New:+F%26D:+Fresh+Food:+Fresh+Food+-+DTS*PRODUCT_GROUP281037392*&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAiAx_DwBRAfEiwA3vwZYrhJK6TGa9W9IsORGT0AVV_kZYV38Qg0h1gBKkjDx81etK5uRpErihoCFsEQAvD_BwE
I’m glad bob belcher and biff from back to the future found each other
4:27 I was like wtf! why they wearing the same thing 7 days later ?lol u guys are funny
How about making Jowel bacon burnt ends? that was my first thought when you asked the question, how or what to eat it with
Ive been eating pork jowel since i was a little kid so delicious and you can fry off the rind and make dog treats or human treats if you like super hard crunchy pork rinds.
The dude slamming a drink in the back ground 😂 0:07
Here in Australia, "Canadian bacon" is just called "shortcut bacon". Most delis however sell it in a strip together with the belly bacon, so you get some of the marbled fatty part and some of the lean loin part.
Middle bacon! best or both worlds.
Watching you trim the 'Canadian' bacon made me realise that here in Australia, 'Canadian' bacon is what we consider normal bacon. It's also sometimes known as 'eye bacon' because of the large round eye of meat at the end.
The commonwealth tends to do bacon with round and a bit of belly. Oddly enough for whatever reason we in Canada tend to forgo the bit of belly, doing a cross between the American monstrosity that is Canadian bacon and back bacon. It's an absolute travesty, but don't tell that to the the peameal loving east coast
Jowl bacon equals new deliciousness for Korean bbq
Question - since you do not wash off the cure, how much salt do you use per pound or kg?
TY guys for vid. One question what could you do with rest of hear other than head cheese?
I love Ben's t-shirt, does anyone know where it's from?
All of their videos make me wish I were more patient with cooking. My only desire if I win the lottery is to hire a personal chef to prepare all my meals. There’s just so many dishes out there that I’ll likely never know about that looks so good.
In New Zealand we call it middle or loin bacon. You guys don't wash off the excess salt and sugar after it is cured ? Hmm may have to try that next time
I'm a meat cutter and I approve this show
A meat cutter and not a butcher? Seems legiy
@@classified_0923
The dudes who break whole animals down into sides and primals are meatcutters, not butchers. They may be butchers too, but that job is called meatcutter or just cutter.
Brent reminds me of King Abdullah II of Jordan and it cracks me up watching the King make a turducken🤣🤣🤣
Jowl bacon, one local grocery store was selling it and I fell in love, but this stuff I just saw makes that look pretty weak.
How long did you smoke it?
Love your content.
All I gotta say is, Ben has definitely woken up after a long night of drinking and had to go immediately to work. Excellent acting.
I was stationed in GA 18 years ago and was invited to a few parties called “hawwwg jaaawwwz”. I went because it was a party, I left understanding that the head of a hog is really dang edible. Next time someone invites you to a hawg jauw, accept. Them: Haayee main, want to come to ma gamaawz hawwg jaw dis weekend? You: yes, what can I bring?
This comment was a cultural experience and a delight.
Uk viewers know it’s all about that back bacon in between two pieces of bread
Yup with some ketchup but before that dip the slices of bread in the fat left over in the pan and gently fry the bread for a few minutes after nice and crispy spread some butter and ketchup and place bacon on the said bread and enjoy
American bacon is better. Sorry.
@@SmellsLikeNirvanna Never had a proper rasher though, its another level
@@phauntis Im from the UK lol, my mum would buy it all the time until us siblings told her to go for american belly bacon, its just much better, the ones they import are cherry wood smoked. Americans just do food better. Theres a reason why bacon sandwiches are doused with ketchup.
SmellsLikeNirvanna because you’re literally just eating fat. And the reason the ketchup is there is because the sweet salty flavour is undisputed.
Great video. What is the mix ratio of salt, sugar, and pink salt #1
Guanciale is so hard to find In the states usually have to resort to using pancetta or regular bacon for pasta dishes. Especially carbonara.
Although they didn't make guanciale, at least I think, pretty sure it can not be smoked to be guanciale
Awesome video! It'll be great to see a video showing different uses of the beef knuckle.
Hi, we’re starting to do more smoking here on the farm and I’m wondering how long you all smoked the bacon or to what temp internally you took it to? Thanks 😊
It usually takes a couple hours and I wait until about 150-155f internal temp
i whipped up a pork jowl brussel sprout ramen a few times jazzing up some store bought stuff. cabbage and fat can give you the runs.
When my uncle gets and butchers pigs himself u makes these breakfast chops. Basically bacon or ham brined pork chops. They are my favorite breakfast meat ever hands down
Hmmm, missed opportunity to really show us how to make our own bacon from start to finish. Salt/sugar ratio? Salt-ratio related to weight of the piece of meat? Curing time? Rinse after cure or not? Smoking temp? Smoking time? Internal temp? Type of wood used? Drying time afterwards? How to store the bacon and for how long? Etc. I've made my own panchetta/bacon many times so have been experimenting with it, and it's a lot harder to get the balance right than this video shows. Especially making sure the bacon doesn't get too salty while still curing/drying safely is a challenge. Still good to see the different types of meat used though - will have to try and get my hands on some pork cheeks!
What do you recommend for amount salt, brown sugar, and cure#1 per pound of meat?
I see the word bacon I ask no question and click...FACTS
What brand of knife was used at the end to cut the smoked product
These guys are comedy gold
You guys are so funny love your videos
After having traveled outside the US for a bit I had to get used to american bacon after Canadian/UK bacon. Grilled cheese with that stuff is so damn good.
Grilled cheese and ham my friend
Hi, can you please tell us the amount of salt/sugar/pink salt that we need in %? Like 40% salt, 40 sugar and 2pink salt? Thank you!
Hey guys. Excuse my silly question l. If you dont have access to a smoker can you cure it and go straight to cooking it in a pan?
Great episode ... next bacon episode do shoulder bacon from the coppa/money muscle
In South Africa we call 'true' bacon streaky bacon & then we have back bacon. I'd say they have an almost equal footing here. Oh, as someone pointed out, back bacon usually has a fatty tail & edge, but we also have bacon rounds which are...quite dull but they add meatiness to sandwiches, I guess.
In England we have back bacon and bell bacon in every shop,cafe and restaurant. the only real difference is there both a bit thinner
*Just finishing off the second coat now!*
Lol! Us Canadianas call it back bacon and sometimes peameal bacon. To add to the confusion, peameal bacon is coated in NOT peameal. It's actually cornmeal which, unknown to most Canadianians, pretty much the same thing as grits. :-p
Canadian bacon in not smoked in Canada. It was originally covered in ground dried peas and is call peameal bacon. It is now covered in cornmeal and is the number one sandwich in Canada. (at least is was in the past) it is fried and served on a bun. Smoked pork loin is German and known as Kassler Rippchen and is served as a main course PS Canadian bacon in the US is smoked
Mark Gillett TORONTO known as hogtown because of the export of bacon to the empire.
I am now questioning whether I've ever had real deal bacon and my life is now in shambles. (Subscribes)
good show , thanks u
Back Bacon is best cured in brine and then rolled in cornmeal called Peameal Bacon origanted in Sothern Ontario when a immigrant butcher from England came over in 1850's i'm Canadian and live in Niagara (Southern Ontario and hardly ever see just Back Bacon in stores mostly just Peameal Bacon)
Have you guys heard of Buché tacos? It’s jowl I always thought it tasted like Uncrispy bacon. It’s delicious
This is entertainment. These guys are funny 😄
BRING BACK THE STACHE! I'M FURIOUS!
I love how hard they're trying to not use pasta as an example for what the Guanciale ish bacon would be good with 😂
I miss the magic that was 'turning some random dish into a sausage'.
I love the seven day bacon hibernation joke.
These guys have the best series on this channel
So canadian bacon is basically the same as german Kasseler. Interresting
Guys come to the Czech Republic, I will show you how we make smoked bacon here - longer curing time, different meat preparation, smoking temperatures and time;-)
Canadian here. I’ve eaten back bacon like maybe 2-3 times in my 23 years of life.
As a Canadian, we only have 2 types of bacon. It’s either strip bacon or Peameal bacon !
As a Canadian x2, can confirm we only have 2 types
Back bacon is an American thing that they think we have.... Peameal is my only Cdn Bacon
We have all three side, back and peameal, they are not the same! Peameal is brined and back bacon is smoked!
I’m from the west and have never heard of pea meal. It’s bacon. Just bacon. And back bacon.
Anyone else see the guy in the back at 0:05 drinking out of the huge bottle?! LMAO
Peameal bacon (also known as sweet pickled back bacon) is a wet-cured, unsmoked back bacon made from trimmed lean boneless pork loin rolled in cornmeal and is found mainly in Southern Ontario. Originally from Ireland and/or England. Don't know what you should call your smoked loin product but it sure sounds good.
I came here to leave this same comment, thanks
We miss you guys
Most hilarious part about Canadian Bacon is that we don’t eat it here and in Australia, it’s the only kind you can get. Lol
"Traditional belly bacon" 😅😂 God bless America!
The center of the universe
I have a friend from Europe who one seriously commented he didn't understand how americans could eat belly bacon with all the fat running through it instead of cut out or on the side (British cut?). I pointed out he was a fan of wagyu beef and all that 'marbling'.
4:16
Brent : how movies portray waking up
Ben: how I actually wake up.
What is the good condition to keep the bacon ? Can i keep it in fridge?
In Australia our bacon it both American bacon and Canadian bacon in one and what you would call thic cut
you guys should try making fancy pork roll/taylor ham!
What is the ratio of salt to sugar that you use in the cure?
What’s the rub ratio salt to brown sugar to curing salt?
I'm used to the bacon having the skin on (Norway). What are the pros one cons of that?
Pros: skinning things is tedious, collagen is healthy for you in small amounts. COns: hard to digest causes during to be slower on the skin side and toughened when cooking so texture sensitive waters may not want it.
Just my own opinions
@@joshschneider9766 thanks Josh for taking time to explain
Peppercorn Bacon's one of my favorites
Cell membranes not cell walls. Cell walls are in plant and largely indigestible by us, hence we have cattle to eat plants and unlock more nutrients from them.
Hmmm, weird, here in Australia bacon is invariably loin and belly, an entire slice all the way through. There is also "streaky bacon" which is just belly, and fat free bacon, which is just the loin trimmed of all fat. And an abomination. Also usually it has the rind (skin) on, but often sooks want it removed.
Boys try the jowel bacon with something acidic like bruschetta
Grilled bread, diced tomato, onion, fresh bruised basil and maybe even some soft Danish feta OMG 😋
Never watch this before bed. At best, you'll get hungry. At worst, you'll get hungry and have weird food dreams.
You guys are my favorite couple on UA-cam. Great job guys!!
hot smoked vs cold smoked bacon? experiment with diffrent woods (that are used arround the world for bacon)???
How’d you get the reflection in the knife
is there a difference in double smoked bacon? technique wise
I LUVZ me some guanciale, though I've never had it's dry-cured version... I can only imagine how lovely that'd be! You guys need to move to the West coast, like maybe Portland Or. 🤔 Definitely, Portland Or! 🥓🥩😉
Don't yall already have Olympia up there?
Dry cured version is same flavor just concentrated. Think of beer then imagine licking a billion cube lol. You would not want to eat thick fried slices of it trust me lol
