I'm sometimes entrusted with the care of three middle
school aged children. I make them omelettes for breakfast (which
they love as long as I ONLY use yellow cheese) and they've asked
for bacon to go with them.


Non vi e cosa nostra.

Anyway isn't linguicia a kind of sausage?

Thanks, Steve. This is what I need because the kids won't
eat anything that doesn't taste like what they expect.

So, this Scottish gentleman (a Scottish gentleman being one who knows how
to play the bagpipes, but doesn't), having made his fortune, prepared to
retire to the farm where he was raised, near Kirknewton. To this end, he
engaged the services of a general contractor. After showing him the changes
he wanted made in the house, they wandered the property, where he showed
him the changes he wanted made with the driveway, the water well, etc.

At one point, he stopped, and pointing to a tree, said, "Do not touch that
tree, for it was beneath its boughs that I first made love to my first
love."

The contractor smiled and replied, "How romantic. We shall treat it with
the utmost respect."

The gentleman pointed to a nearby tree and said, "And do not touch that
tree, for it was beneath its boughs that her mother stood,watching, as we
made love."

The contractor was aghast. "Her mother watched? My God, man, what did she
say?"

"Bah!"

From the omnivore/carnivore perspective, thick slice HEB premium is pretty
good, but it's on the salty side. The kids should love it.

Or, you could always buy a pork belly and DIY it.

Americans are used to cured bacon, and you can do a DIY cure, but I prefer
cold smoked sowbelly, aka salt pork belly. It's a heckuva lot cheaper, too.

Soak sowbelly overnight in water, rinse, cold smoke for as long as you want,
but at least 8 hrs, preferably with apple, maple, cherry or all three,
slice, use like bacon.

Best damn bacon you'll never taste, wharfie.

LINGUICA

Old Style Portuguese Sausage

This product has been developed through the request and assistance of our
many Portuguese friends in the community. This highly flavored sausage is
produced with quality pork chopped and marinated with Red Wine vinegar
hearty Cabernet Sauvignon wine, then blended with fresh garlic and a
variety of cracked, ground and crushed spices. This product is then smoked
and fully cooked for your convenience and safety. We have been advised by
our Portuguese friends that Linguica should somewhat break up when cooked,
similar to chorizo, however the similarities end there. The flavors of red
wine vinegar, fresh garlic and spices should be prominent. The elimination
of non fat dry milk accomplishes this and enhances all of the other
flavors. Our initial presentation to the Portuguese community seemed to be
slightly heavy with vinegar, so we replaced a portion of vinegar with
Cabernet Sauvignon to soften and maintain a great balance in flavor.
Contains no Non Fat Dry Milk, Nitrites, MSG, Sugar or Artificial
Flavorings. This flavorful Old world style sausage is wonderful used in
omelets or with other egg dishes, or as a pizza topping. Linguica can also
be used as a base to soups, chili, bean dishes etc. Sandwiches are
intensely flavorful grilled and served on rolls with a variety of
condiments.

Who shall remain un-named. <g>

I brined the last batch of hearts for 5 days instead of 2 before smoking
them this time. They came out tasting a lot more like bacon than the
last batch.

And they were not the least bit tough with a 2 hour smoke.

I seem to have the Canadian bacon down pat now. This last batch was
outstanding. But made with pork loin of course!
