  • has anybody noticed any taste difference between the bacon you get in the packet vs the bacon you get at the deli?

    • All down to personal taste, and add into that comparison the bacon you can get at butcher shops.
      My favourite is from a local butcher, slight smokiness, thicker slices.

      • I read "local butcher" as "Kosher butcher" and was very confused…

    • The bacon you get at the deli has been sitting outside of the package for quite a while in an open area with other deli meats.

      No difference unless you mean a deli outside of a supermarket.

    • Depends on where it’s from

      If it’s a packet bacon it could be imported

      If it’s butcher bacon it is prob aussie pork

    • more water in the packet bacon?

    does it contains sodium nitrate ?

    • +2

      I hope so, I wouldn't want off bacon.

      So you don't eat vegetables either?

      • According to Martha Grogan, M.D., a cardiologist for Mayo Clinic, the sodium nitrate added to cured meats can harm your heart and increase your chance for heart disease and diabetes. However, Greger claims that the natural nitrates in vegetables can protect against heart disease.

        • so is meat good for our health or not good, need ANSWERS

    • Nitrates will kill you. Salt preserved meat only!

      Almost all bacon in supermarkets contains nitrates. As I've cut my bacon consumption back I buy a natural bacon from woolies prepack bacon section - can't remember brand dorsogna or something like that. It's pricey though at 3 to 4 times as much per kg than this.

    • Sodium Nitrite (preservative 250).

  • I bought that once, way too salty, does anyone found the same ?

    Thanks OP.

    why is it called "cooking bacon"?? is there other bacon specifically for other uses?

    • +4

      I was waiting for that question. I've got no idea either.

    • +3

      I bought it once and it was in smaller, odd shaped bits and pieces rather than rashers. I assumed it was maybe all the offcuts or something?

      • talking diced bacon?

      • And that’s why it’s labelled as cooking bacon

    • +5

      Decorative bacon is on a different aisle

      • vegan bacon isn't too bad, personally i think it's one of the better vegan products

      is there other bacon specifically for other uses?

      Kevin Bacon but costs a couple million.

      • +1

        I think I would still use Ozbargain even if I had 50 million, lol.

    • I guess it’s bacon you wouldn’t eat uncooked because of its (kind of) inferior qualities.

    • Was wondering the same thing. Maybe it's "cooking" as in being part of other dishes, and not full/pretty rashers that you'd kind of eat standalone (or just in a sandwich, etc).

        who eats uncooked bacon!?

        • No no, not uncooked, but not say, cooked as pieces in a cabonara, as opposed to a full rasher (cooked still) as part of an E&B roll.

          • @HighAndDry: I kinda view bacon as like toast. It’s only toast or bacon once cooked. Before that, to me it’s just bread or pig

            • @Snoutface: ….. Ironic username? (but technically I think bacon is cured (not necessarily cooked) pig.)

            • @Snoutface: Bacon is bacon , cooked or raw it’s still bacon

              Unlike bread

    • Its ugly bacon, cuts that are not exactly the same.

      Same taste but not nice uniform shapes..

    • Theoretically, you could potentially eat bacon, I mean if you really starving and there was no food.

    • +1

      I came here to specifically ask this lol

  • boo

    Cooking Bacon eh? What else would you do with it?

  • Time to stock up.

  • It's the same bacon as Primo. Just the "ugly" cuts

  • Any deals on cigarettes while we're killing ourselves?

  • I actually prefer the Aldo cooking bacon over their other more premium versions. More fat. Yum.
