The flavor was pretty good,I think on the next one I'll add alittle Texas BBQ rub and alittle maple syrup injection.

Wayne, do you think that this has the same flavor as bacon?

Ive been wanting to do some pork bellies, but around here if you want to try and make your own bacon, ya have to buy a whole case of pork bellies.
The want more money for raw pork bellies, than you can purchase ready made bacon.

Last time I checked, I have to buy an entire case of pork bellies, which the average weight is about 80#. No way I could use that much bacon in a few years.

Just wondering here?

Buskboarded butts or loin taste more like ham to me. Three or four of my books on curing have recipes for bacon, and two small processors here make their own for sale. Home made bacon is really good. Let me snoop around and I'll get some recipes to you.

Agree with ThirdEye, deffinately taste more like Ham or Canadian Bacon. I really like it. Last time I let it soak awhile in a coating of real maple syrup and seemed to give a little added taste.

Very true, when I started slicing I thought I messed up and made ham instead But once it hit the frying pan and the homestead started smelling with bacon, the kids came running and the BLT building commenced:-D

IMHO the thinner you slice it the more it tastes like bacon, if it gets as thick as a normal thick cut bacon it tastes like ham to me.

edit: If you haven't tried it the thicker cuts make a heck of a grilled ham and cheese sammie

I agree my thicker cuts tasted more like ham, So I made some thin ones and it did taste more like bacon.
