She's completely accurate with the Chinese/cantonese bacon. Also great cubed (no boiling) and used in fried rice or sauteed with any veggie in the mustard/brassica. That's my favorite prep.
@@gabethefrog0114 can you tell me what part is wrong then? If I am wrong about anything, I would love to hear what I'm wrong about, since just like everybody else, I am still learning. Also if anyone wants to learn more about mushrooms, I suggest the video "WTF are mushrooms" by Adam Ragusea
In Ireland, we use boiled ham for cabbage and bacon. We call certain cuts of ham “bacon” and bacon strips we call “rashers”. She didn’t have to put herself through eating boiled rashers 😅😅😅
I had kugelspeck in Rottweil. It was once a treat for dogs made up of the removed bits of prepared bacon... But it's turned into kind of a local treat. Hard to eat. Greasy as hell. Best served in broth.
I like baking American bacon and basting it in a mixture of orange juice, brown sugar, black pepper, and garlic powder. It comes out like meat candy and it’s fantastic for snacks at parties. I make a bunch of it when I have people over and wrap it in parchment and put it in these novelty medieval wooden mugs I have. Coolest party meat snack
Thank you Chef!! I’ve learned more in watching a handful of your videos than I have in my entire life about cooking/food lol. Cooking has never been a thing for me, but you’re making it MAKE MORE SENSE TO ME. I like the way you break it down and connect it to dishes and examples You need your own show!!! And/or be a teacher!!
This is pretty good but there are different types of cure in Britain. Suffolk black bacon has molasses, Wiltshire has oak and beech chips. There is also Ayrshire roll which is quite similar to pancetta but never as thin.
Unfortunately, she undercooked the Irish/English bacon. It will crisp up beautifully, the fat should be a golden colour and the meat should have dark patches to it. The reason it doesn't have a smokey flavour is probably because she is cooking unsmoked bacon. Next time try smoked English bacon and cook it longer it is amazing.
@@rahee9482 I live in The UK and used to live in Ireland, I am not confused at all. We have many types of bacon, and none of them would be undercooked the way she has done.
@dd She didnt boil it though she fried it, and incorrectly. In Ireland and the UK (I have lived in both places), there are many kinds of traditional bacon and none of them are cooked the way she claims. As for boiled bacon, that is simmered as a joint, in stock a bit like ham and gammon, then sliced. Again it is nothing like she is claiming.
lol, false, They use to boil everything back in the days. But with the introduction of the internet, Irish and British people are trying to revamp their nasty and boring food. But failed, because British and Irish culture aren't really known for delicious food. Spain, Italy and France have amazing food. But only because they were heavily influenced by the middle east. And Italy just stole Chinese food and American food and made it "their own".
I’m Irish, and I have never eaten boiled bacon. I have had boiled ham. I do like an occasional Irish breakfast of grilled smoked back rashers of bacon, pork sausages, black pudding and a fried egg. I don’t think the representation of Irish bacon in this video is accurate at all at all!
Right! I have no idea what she did, I've never known anyone to boil bacon here. It's fried or grilled until it's browned and crispy. And it's delicious in a sandwich with ketchup! Bacon sarnie's dripping with grease and ketchup is the way to go!
One more Polish incarnation of bacon worth mentioning are skwarki (Skvarkee). Tiny bits of bacon leftover after smalec (lard) extraction. No plate of savoury pierogi is complete without them. (damn, now I'm hungry!)
My favorite way to use slab bacon is to cut it in strips like streaky but about as wide as the slab is thick. Then grill them while moving constantly due to flare ups until nice and crispy. Then just slice lengthwise into quarter inch candy sized bits with crispy goodness protecting unctuous perfection. I originally made this with bacon from the Corollitas Meat Market and cooked it at Cam McCall's house so I just call it Aptos style.
With Bauchspeck, you have to really watch out whether you are getting "Durchwachsener Speck" - the streaky bacon, or "Fetter Speck" - just the fatty white part, often two inches thick. They are obviously used very differently, and one is mostly cured meat, the other is just smoked fat. The streaky variety is not traditionally cut into slices, but sticks or cubes as they are sold generally in half-inch slabs with the skin attached.
It’s kinda hard to find since the cut of lamb used to make it isn’t widely available unless you’re near a farm, a local butcher, or a wholesale place. It’s typically made from lamb breast (belly) which is a pretty thin piece of meat off the bottom of the ribs. I’ve made it homemade a few times, you’ll typically cut the bones off, cure the meat, roll it up into a log like pancetta and then smoke it. It’s very good in pasta. Has very prominent lamb flavor.
@@thesoupiestsoupster9019 theoretically I’d think any lamb, although I would guess it’s better from younger lamb rather mutton since lamb is a little milder. Mutton might get a bit gamey when you cure it and might be a little tough after smoking. But some might like that more!
The base line bacon rasher in Australia is both the streaky/belly and the UK/loin, cured in whatever way they handle it. We call the British piece "short-cut", as it's just that endy bit. :) And streaky bacon is streaky bacon, of course.
Should've added Australian middle or long bacon. Has the rasher (loin) from the British bacon and the tail (belly) from the American bacon. Best of both worlds
I dunno about the Canadian bacon section. I’m from Toronto and I’ve almost never seen what Americans refer to as “Canadian bacon” - perfectly round slices of ham. And the “peameal bacon” pop-up during that section is DEFINITELY not just this Canadian bacon coated in cornmeal. Peameal bacon is pretty much identical to the back bacon; a wet cured, unsmoked, well trimmed pork loin that is then coated in a layer cornmeal, sliced, and fried, where that cornmeal becomes crispy. This indeed began in Toronto in the 1850s, when pork loins were coated in ground yellow peas (hence the name “peameal”) and shipped abroad, mainly to the UK. Generally speaking, Canadians eat the same streaky strips of bacon that Americans eat, with peameal bacon coming in second. No ham circles in sight.
BC here, near Vancouver, that was definitely Canadian bacon, which is why Americans just use ham instead. Peameal is definitely a bit different, but I recognized the Canadian bacon for sure.
@@Trieh strange. I have never seen that round circular bacon anywhere in Toronto, except maybe on an Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s. Not in a supermarket, nor in a restaurant. I’ve seen what is called back bacon, which is kinda like “Canadian” bacon, but it’s definitely not round. At any rate, I live in NYC these days, where peameal bacon is non-existent. For my first COVID lockdown birthday, I got some pork loin from the butcher and made my own, just to have peameal bacon sandwiches to remind me of home over the border I couldn’t cross. :)
@@Trieh our conversation led to me heading to my local supermarket to buy Canadian bacon for the first time. 😁 they also had breakfast ham right next to it, which looked virtually identical, so who knows.
If you're going to do the turkey bacon option. May I suggest, Oscar Mayer. The best way to cook if is to cut it across the length, in half. And microwave it. It will crisp up but will quickly burn. So keep an eye on it. It's the best of the faken bacon, I've found and it makes a fabulous TB,L & T.
When you start mentioning ingredients of pasta carbonara i was fear that you will mention cooking cream but luckily all ingredients you mentioned are accurate. But i need to mention that black pepper doesn't need to add because guanciale already have pepper on it so you don't need to add additional pepper. If you like peppery and cheese you can make Caccio e pepe.
American style "Canadian Bacon" is not Canadian. Not something you can find here. The closest is peameal bacon which is made from whole loin and is more oval than circular, and the outside is coated with corn or yellow pea meal.
Agreed. As a Canadian from Ontario, I never saw what Americans call “Canadian Bacon” until I moved to Texas. We eat “Peameal Bacon” all the time in Ontario tho. It’s a lot like the Back Bacon for look.
'smalec' is typically made from pork skin ('słonina"), salted and uncured,cubed finely, and melted then carmelized and onion added. boczek wędzony is NEVER used for that
In serbia we have slaninica, it is whole smoked belly bacon. We don't add any sugar, just salt and it is smoked over months in lights smoke to be "fully cooked" it is great on it's alone not cooked with some eggs or just some snack.
You cook the streaky bacon until it's crispy, then you just warm the "Irish Bacon"? You could easily get some colour on it like the back bacon, maybe not crispy, but yeah
I had jowl bacon once; it was really good. Smoking Goose made it. They make all kinds of charcuterie. They also make guanciale and salame like saucisson rouge.
Love this. Though I am an avid pork eater I do have one more vegan entry. Tofu (you can stop throwing things at the screen now.) I used to go to a vegetarian hot springs resort and they had tofu strips for breakfast. Greasy umami strips. Doesn't fill the bacon spot but really good. Marinate the strips of tofu in soy sauce, oil, nutritional yeast and various other ingredients I don't remember at the moment. Bake them until crispy at the edges.
The brine on Bauchspeck isnt always dry. Im a butcher by profession and usually they make it in a salt and water brine on top of the spices that you slather on. I myself at home usually make it dry as well.
In Quebec, we make what we call "des oreilles de chrisse" (Christ's ears). It's a staple of "Cabane à sucre" (Sugar Shack) food. It's a bit like Pancetta but way drier and way saltier. Don't be discouraged, It's delicious. Almost like a salty candy. Look it up!
Agreed. I see a lot of people use pancetta because it’s easier to get ahold of around here but guanciale is SO much better! These people also put heavy cream in their carbonara so they also don’t have the food knowledge to pull off a classic like that
@@Thalanna Yeah, unless you have an Italian community that comes from Rome (Lazio) it might be hard to get. Most Italians around me come from Sicily and Calabria. But there is a small Italian salumerie near me that makes it. Italian food is so incredibly regional. My inlaws only ever ate risotto as arancini. And butter was never used in their house because that was a northern Italian thing.
@@sarahholloway742 When a cook puts heavy cream in carbonara, an Italian nonna dies a little. But it is a bit tricky. Heat control is key because too low and the cheese doesn't melt (hard cheese like pecorino and parm) and too high it reforms into curds. The added fat in cream makes it easier but will obscure the flavour of the cheese. There are a number of great videos by chef Luciano Monosilio that makes the process more foolproof because his restaurant makes large batches and assembles to order. Diners can be impatient. It took me over a dozen tries before I learned to make it consistently. But when I run out of guanciale, cacio e pepe is always a tasty option because pecorino is pretty common now.
@@tiacho2893 I know it’s tricky to get the heat control right but I still can’t stand it. It’s cheater carbonara when you use heavy cream and it doesn’t need the extra fat and calories. No wonder Americans are so obese they take classics from other countries and do an American spin on them that includes loads of extra fat and calories. That’s the American way. Everything could use an extra stick of butter or two
Thank you for showing the turkey bacon. Because of my gut (I have colitis) I can't eat much of the regular fatty kind anymore, so I've been all over the turkey bacon these days
I miss torreznos from Spain. It's a tapa made with pickled pork belly that has been deep fried in It's own fat with the skin, that becomes really crunchy.
as a canadian what you called “canadian bacon” is what we would call just ham, and yes you can get it as a breakfast meat, but it’s definitely not canadian. we have back bacon like the british, which is what americans bastardized as “canadian bacon”
Calling that sausage round "Canadian Bacon" had me raging. While the title is often given to those rounds, you go to breakfast places up here and they give you real Canadian bacon. (Which I believe is often called breakfast ham elsewhere). It's the large center portion of the back bacon for English Breakfast. Those sausages often are also not actually that lean compared to the actual loin bacon, being sausages they can have extra fat put in em.
I remember the first time I tried to cook Turkey Bacon 🦃🥓 … I was watching it cook waiting for all the grease to start gushing out and start popping like regular Bacon 😂 and then I realized 🤦🏻♂️ this is not happening 😂 I loved the taste though 😋 delicious
yeah it's pretty good for what it is, definetely better than our local[incredibly overrated] aussie bacon... which is just a precooked fatty ham with zero flavour but salt. My favourite will always be a real, raw english back bacon though. I liked american streaky too visiting there, how much flavours they get into it, and how it holds form when cooked making it great to warp around other food.
Fact check from an Austrian German speaker, Bauchspeck literally translates into belly bacon, not streaky. Also what you called smoked is a joke. Come to Austria for really black-smoked bacon!

@@LimaBear1235yeah that’s what I thought… I don’t eat bacon but I know that cooked bacon is MUCH more browner
"Bauchspeck" directly translates to "belly bacon" actually (Bauch is belly in german), but I guess streaky bacon is the official translation
Is that what speck is? I eat speck at work all day.
Speck can be considered fat or just ham

gestreift and bauch - almost the same, aint it? XD
The translation of "Bauchspeck" is incorrect. "Bauch" means stomach or belly.
All that aside, Chef Cheatham is fantastic. Love her insight.
It refers to the same cut as streaky bacon. The translation is not literal, but accurate. She is comparing the meat, not the etymology.
@@MrHodoAstartes But she said that it translates directly to Streaky Bacon, and thats incorrect.

@@samsalih5473 agreed
Oh god! What she did to that English/Irish bacon physically hurt me!
@10:09 Any other Irish person wanna tell her that that rasher is feckin' raw? 😂 Massively undercooked
I love it that you also go for the non pork on vegetarian variants! Great episode!
Oh my gosh my horizons have been broaden now my mission is to eat every type of bacon
She’s a true pro , I could listen to her talk about bacon all day 😂😂 🥓
i love this chef
I love bacon. Bacon is fantastic
I saw a couple of packages of jowl bacon on sale. So bought one ten years ago. The bacon of bacon.
The polish bacon usually comes like these:
-smoked raw (cold smoke and it's better for soups)
-smoked boiled (hot smoke)
Bauchspeck directly translates to Belly bacon
Bauch=belly
Speck=bacon
Thank you for showing the turkey bacon. Because of my gut (I have colitis) I can't eat much of the regular fatty kind anymore, so I've been all over the turkey bacon these days
I like to use "Boczek Wędzony" in my BLT
I miss torreznos from Spain. It's a tapa made with pickled pork belly that has been deep fried in It's own fat with the skin, that becomes really crunchy.
As someone who is from northern ireland and eats Irish bacon every week you cooked it wrong.
Bauchspeck translates to "belly fat", bauch meaning belly and speck (pronounced like shpeck) translating into fat/bacon/ etc
This would have had more views if you bring back the deli meat guy. Bring him back!
as a canadian what you called “canadian bacon” is what we would call just ham, and yes you can get it as a breakfast meat, but it’s definitely not canadian. we have back bacon like the british, which is what americans bastardized as “canadian bacon”
Yeah, the Irish Bacon is what I'm familiar with as our back bacon. I'd choose it over regular bacon any day. 🇨🇦
Thanks for the video :)
Mushrooms being called vegetables is funny btw
Please make a feature on different types of tofu and different types of veggie meats or meat alternatives.
When I get bacon at Wal-Mart I always get the thick bacon and it's amazing fatty and chewy instead of thin and crunchy
Very knowledgeable presenter!
I‘d like to see her more often.
bellota, serrano, pata negra, iberico ham cuddle in the corner in disbelieve - are we too fancy for this show?
The way she said boczek wędzony had me crying head off🤣🤣🤣
Why? She did great for a non native Polish speaker.
I have a friend crush on Adrienne. I want someone with her energy in the kitchen with me. It's so obvious she loves food.
a very well informed woman. respect
bro i need to buy this for my cousins they love bacon and i think they´ll love all thirty types of bacon
that pasta carbonara was an absolute monstrosity
Thank you Chef A!! Really enjoying your video. Making me hungry, giving me some good ideas for dinners to cook for my loved ones
Calling that sausage round "Canadian Bacon" had me raging. While the title is often given to those rounds, you go to breakfast places up here and they give you real Canadian bacon. (Which I believe is often called breakfast ham elsewhere). It's the large center portion of the back bacon for English Breakfast. Those sausages often are also not actually that lean compared to the actual loin bacon, being sausages they can have extra fat put in em.
I remember the first time I tried to cook Turkey Bacon 🦃🥓 … I was watching it cook waiting for all the grease to start gushing out and start popping like regular Bacon 😂 and then I realized 🤦🏻♂️ this is not happening 😂 I loved the taste though 😋 delicious
yeah it's pretty good for what it is, definetely better than our local[incredibly overrated] aussie bacon... which is just a precooked fatty ham with zero flavour but salt. My favourite will always be a real, raw english back bacon though. I liked american streaky too visiting there, how much flavours they get into it, and how it holds form when cooked making it great to warp around other food.
@@anasevi9456 “ you wanna know good bacon is ? To make other food good they wrap it in Bacon “ Jim Gaffigan 😂
Lol I felt the same way. I was so confused. I think I burned it the first time. But eventually when i started making it correctly, I loved it.
@@savorycity2252 so weird at first 😂 you’d expect all the grease to help wit the Frying 😂
Is "bacon" a style of slicing an item or thinness of the sliced item? Or an item?
You missed middle bacon, the absolute best. It's basically back bacon and streaky bacon in one; best of both worlds.
Fact check from an Austrian German speaker, Bauchspeck literally translates into belly bacon, not streaky. Also what you called smoked is a joke. Come to Austria for really black-smoked bacon!
