mighty fine bacon

Post #1 - June 26th, 2006, 7:57 pmA&G Grocery (Belmont, just west of Central) is near my auto body shop, which I had to visit last week (folks: damn it!, look in your rear-view mirror while parked before throwing your car door wide open).
O.K.
I scored a nice tin of smoked herring flillets, a jar of anchovies, some great smoked sausage, some Lithuanian rye bread, and, from the deli, some refreshing vegetable salad (the white salad to which my Lithuanian fiancee has me addicted: a kind of potato salad with finely chopped potatoes, green peas, carrots, and mayo).
The highlight: a package of unsliced Hungarian-Style Smoked Bacon/Kolozsvari ($5.99/lb).
I cut it thick. It fried nicely, rendering much of the fat.
I'm heading back tomorrow, with a ding-free car, for more.
Cheers,
Wade

Post #2 - June 26th, 2006, 9:05 pmDamn! There is NO place in KC where I could find something like that, most especially right now at 10PM, when I need it, having just been jolted by your foodporn!
GeoSooo, you like wine and are looking for something good to read? Maybe *this* will do the trick!

Post #4 - June 27th, 2006, 1:19 pmLAZ, I checked the site and it looks promising. Wade, is there any way you could maybe verify that LAZ has that beautiful stuff identified right? The terminology even sounds right.
Yummm. I sure hope so!

Post #5 - June 27th, 2006, 3:38 pmI apologize for not noting that, but I had been elevated to bacon nirvana.
I was going to post an image of the package, but it was out of focus.
Very good smoke and cure.

Post #6 - June 27th, 2006, 4:26 pmheh-heh Wade, post the out-of-focus image, maybe we can squint just right and make it visible! :^)
BTW, I just discovered this aft that I can get Nueske's bacon in a shop on the Plaza. Plus Molinari salami. Is that great or what?!
