Food Review: Daily’s Hardwood Smoked Peppered Thick Slice Bacon
In the Middle Ages, I learned recently, bacon was considered peasant food. This led me to wonder why that should be so, when bacon is perhaps the greatest breakfast food ever invented. I have learned with great certainty that all bacon is not created equal, and Daily’s Peppered Bacon is the cream of the crop.
You cook this stuff right, and it’s like an explosion of intense flavor in your mouth, a veritable death-star-detonation-sized burst of ecstasy. It’s salty, peppery goodness. You’ll want another slice. What, you might ask, does cooking it right consist of? I don’t really know, honestly, because it’s hard to cook this bacon wrong. The pepper adds a nice kick to it, and of course the usual salty flavor still presents with aplomb.
The downside? It’s bacon, and it’ll still clog your arteries and kill you. It only comes in 1.5 lb. packages, so you’d better plan on having company over, or you’re going to eat it all yourself.
Almost a perfect ten, and only missing it because of the failings of all bacon: the salt and fat pose a threat to your continued survival on this green earth. Still, nothing goes quite as well with buttermilk pancakes as this fine bacon.
Daily’s Hardwood Smoked Peppered Thick Slice Bacon is available in grocery stores. You probably figured that out already.
