    Speck is the German word for bacon. What Frank used was Schinkenspeck which means ham-bacon. Basically a cut that is mostly used for ham treated the way bacon is (cured then smoked). It is delicious raw with good farmer's bread.

    I love how level 1 & 3 both use and respect Velveeta! It gets such a bad wrap socially and everyone loves to jump on the bandwagon. However, I’m sure even a food scientist like Rose could attest to its safety and awesomeness as a food product. Unlike everyone else who talks crap about it’s “artificial coloring” even though it’s color comes from a mix of Paprika and Annato… Or how it’s somehow unnatural just because it isn’t a singular ingredient but a product of multiple ones. No one wants to actually do research they just want to jump on the bandwagon. 😅
