Give me the Grease-lightning

It definitely is not your fatty, crispy, salty (me too) beloved bacon. All the things that made it popular. But maybe that's just me..NOT. I grabbed it in a pinch at Thanksgiving because the REAL deal bacon was sold out, for shame Sam. It did not do the crispy brussel sprouts dish justice. The pig died in vein.

Is it bacon or ham?

I have eaten half a package of this and I cannot decide if it is bacon or ham. It has the flavora of bacon, but the texture of ham. I guess it's both. I have used it as a side to breakfast and on breakfast burritos and in a potato soup. It's very good.

Overwhelmingly smoked

I used this bacon in my bbq beans, basic crockpot beans and made BLT sanwhiches. It drastically changed the flavor profile in both bean dishes in a negative way. The smoke flavor overwhelmed the sandwhiches. Gave remaining half of bacon to my dog, he loved it.

Pretty Good!

Found these on sale recently and decided to try them out to see what the difference was to regular bacon. I was (pleasantly) surprised to find that they are less salty and more meaty than regular bacon. They also have higher protein content than regular bacon per serving which is awesome as I can cook this up and add it atop my veggies or eat with other portions of protein in a meal. Bought two more after testing it out. The only thing I would change is adding more smoked flavor to it.
