Welcome to PortlandBaconfest.com your reference store for all things bacon.

It’s no surprise that people love bacon; it’s a tasty treat that has been making foodies happy for years. While there are many different varieties of bacon available to us, one thing is certain – no matter what you choose, you’re sure to be eating one delicious slice!

Bacon, especially in pigs, is the fatty tissue located between the skin and muscles. It is usually salted and smoked and it is really tasty!!

Bacon is prepared from many different cuts of meat, typically from the pork belly or from back cuts. It’s eaten by itself, as a side dish (especially in breakfasts), or used as a minor ingredient to flavor dishes (e.g., the club sandwich). Bacon can also be used for barding and larding roasts, especially game, including venison and pheasant.

Meat from other animals, such as poultry, beef, chicken, goat, or turkey, might also be cut, treated, and prepared to resemble bacon, for example, “turkey bacon”.

Bacon is a salt-cure cured product, usually from the back or the top cuts of the pork. It’s commonly eaten as an ingredient in various dishes, as either a side dish or used in combination with other ingredients to flavor dishes. Bacon is also commonly used for larding, sealing roasts and even barding.

bacon

The history of bacon dates back to the early settlers of North America. Early Native Americans used it to soften their food, and even to treat cuts of meat as part of the preparation process. As time passed, bacon became a popular snack that was more than just a tasty treat. It began to be served on bread, and the popularity spread even further.

Curing bacon is not as simple as simply rubbing it with salt. In fact, some types of bacon can actually be used as the main ingredient of another food. For example, if you want to make a fried pork tenderloin, you may want to use the skin from the back or the top of the tenderloin as the base for a glaze on top. This will help give your pork tenderloin an extra level of thickness, while also adding the flavor that makes it so popular as an item on sandwiches. Of course, if you want to keep the skin, you can do so as well. If you want the skin to be used, simply rub it off of the meat, leaving behind the skin for you to use later.

In addition to bacon being cured, it can also come from animals other than pork. Although most people associate bacon with pork, other animals such as venison are also used. The main difference between the two is the curing process used to preserve the meat. Pigs undergo a longer curing process that is done in order to create pig fat, which is then used to cure the meat. In contrast, venison is often simply salted and smoked until it is ready to use. This method is far easier and more affordable for most people than the process used to make traditional pork.

People all around the world love bacon, but it’s important to understand why. Because of its versatility and the fact that it’s so versatile, you can enjoy delicious food items such as bacon on just about any dish you would eat on a normal basis. Whether you want to use it in your morning breakfast, your lunch, dinner, or whatever you have in mind, bacon makes great items for just about any meal!
