Breakfast

May I invite your attention to bacon?  Particularly a very nice apple wood smoked bacon? At $1.389 per pound?

It is not the money savings. It is that the five-pound, $6.99,  box of  "ends and pieces"  has vastly more lean meat than any other bacon I can buy -- including even the excellent slab in the fresh meat case at my Fareway.  This judgement comes after using four boxes.

This stuff is excellent, and you can forget the usual  rationalization  that it's for salads and  crumbled pork recipes. Most  of it looks fine on a platter.

I don't know how widely it is distributed,  but if you are anywhere in the Midwest  look for a plain white cardboard box from Webster City Custom Meats, Inc. of Webster City, Iowa.

I am not a paid endorser, and,  no,  it is not available in a tactical container or  in bandoleer  battle packs.

Pretty much available anywhere lesser foods are sold. Cudahay is the brand around here. Ends-n-Pieces can't be beat in brimming Pot O' Beans, whether they be limas, pintos, or navy, IMO.

A bit mire expensive, but it covers the "tactical" side of bacon.

We have the same style of ends-and-pieces bacon on the West Coast of Iowa, usually in a yellow box. Hit and miss on the quality of the meat, but the price is right.

It is this brand that impresses me. I used another one -- Rocky Mountain, I think -- for a long time, then started getting too many boxes of bad stuff, mold in one case. And you got it right on the bean and bacon joy.

Ran, are you near Council Bluffs?
