    @danburrill8716 4 года назад +2

    It's a rare thing in the UK any more, but when I was growing up (30 years ago) it was possible to get middle bacon - where the belly is left attached to the loin and folded over.
    Also, smoked bacon in the UK tends to be cold smoked, so it still has the flavour but the meat is uncooked (similar to smoked salmon), and requires grilling or frying.

    I learned about the book charcuterie from the Great Lake Anthony Bourdain. And I am so glad that I grabbed a copy of that book from my local bookstore. Yes I had to order it and wait but it was better than doing it online I actually got to talk to somebody in person. In my opinion the best recipes in the world are in this book and I suggest to anyone grab it and try making your own bacon or ham or pancetta if you have the room.

      The commonwealth tends to do bacon with round and a bit of belly.

Originally from Ireland and/or England. Don't know what you should call your smoked loin product but it sure sounds good.

      @zaklloyd4335 4 года назад

      doomblitz1993 yes I have some liquid smoke. Not the same but not bad. My main concern is that since sous vide retains much more moisture will it also retain too much salt. If so should I cut down on cure and risk non cured parts or soak in fresh water for a couple of hours prior to sous vide.
      I quite like to finish in hot oven for an hour and add some liquid smoke to my glaze. It leaves a bit of a weird aftertaste if adding before cooking I think. Thanks for your heads up. When the weather improves I'll try my luck at making one of those 1000 gallon offset smokers!!!
