I am the KING of Bacon! [General]

w00t!

A buddy in Halifax started pestering me about a month ago to send him a slab of bacon to enter into a competition that was being held between pros and amateurs alike. I finally sent him one. It was held today, and I just found out I won!

w00t!

It was covered by CBC too - will have to see if I can dig out some coverage on line.

GRIN!

Congrats, now you gotta share the recipe!

LOL. We can call it open source cooking.

It totally makes me feel better about you telling your new boss that I like your bacon better than his. ;D

I'm sure I must have posted the recipe before, just look at my site

urbanhippy.ca

The one that won is actually a variation of monty's recipe. One of the judges told me that all the other entries were some wild tripped out thing with hot peppers and other crazy stuff. Mine was just salt, pepper, onion, garlic, maple syrup and a bit of thyme.

Horray for simple!

Congrats! that is a good win :)

Do you get a trophy or prize or something?

Some of the flavored bacons are good,but maybe not the really weird ones.
I sometimes buy the flavored bacon at Bank St sausage.

They have a garlic black pepper? bacon, a paprika one that is good too.
But they have made those for years now,so doubt they are trying to be trendy.

Maple syrup with bacon is good,I tried some that was made with organic maple syrup and sea salt and that is my favorite now.

I suppose this means Ottawa now has the best bacon in Nova Scotia?
