I'm with you on "rendered pork fat" though.

They just don't SOUND good, but they TASTE good!

Yes, the ends are just that, they are the ends that get cut off so the bacon fits into the package neatly. If you can find them in the store, they are quite economical if you plan to use them as lardones in a dish. They are usually a bit fattier than regular bacon, but when I'm rendering (there's that word again

) to start a cassulette, they work great!

I had a French dip sandwich yesterday to which they added bacon. It was not a proper use of bacon. It just tasted weird.

Salty bacon and salty Au Jus could be a bit much....

Psh - pork fat can be (nay - should be) used for all sorts of things.

For example, you cook some bacon in a pan. Where do you cook the over easy eggs? That's right - in the pan with the bacon fat.

Refried beans - the best ones ever - pork fat.

I hear you can make great pie dough with it and pop popcorn in it.

I bought a bar of "Sizzling Bacon" chocolate last night at the Taste of Newport food festival. Just had a piece. Venezuelan chocolate, bacon, sea salt, and pop rocks. A winning combination.

Pop rocks??????

Pop rocks = sizzling. Nice.

I have to agree bacon doesn't belong on a french dip. A place we order from also puts mayo on it - uh no.

Gary had a burger yesterday from the Ram and it had chicken fried bacon on it. He broke off a little for me and it was divine. I'm sure it's horrible for you but it was so good. I said next time I would just like a cup of cheese beer soup and a plate of that bacon!
