Yes, but I am pretty sure that it was a 1/2 pound pre-cooked weight. It wasn't an abscene amount of bacon, just a greater amount of bacon than one is used to getting.

Oh, that makes since. Half pound (8 oz.) raw is probably only 3 oz. cooked!

By they way, does Turkey bacon and imitation bacon bits count? I had both of those today.

By my book, no. Unless a pig died for my gastronomic indulgence, it ain't bacon.

But, unlike boar or pork chops, at least it is flavored like bacon.

I'm trying to watch my fat and cholesterol, so pork is more of a treat taken omly occasionally. But nothing compares to the real bacon, that's for sure!!
