Where do you all buy your pork bellies from? The meat markets here want me to get a case. I don't think the better half will like it if I do 60 lbs of bacon at once.
Berkshire pork bellies from the Butcher Shop Cafe, IBP bellies from H Mart.
Berkshire pork makes poor bacon. IMHO, stick with IDP or other commodity belly.
No reason to use heritage pork for cured products. I even tried mangalitsa ham and wasn't impressed.
