What to Look for When Buying Bacon

One time I was asked what was the best bacon to buy.  I really wasn’t sure how to answer.  It really depends on what you like.  The best is the one that you find the most delicious.  There are all kinds of bacon choices available to you.  So which one should you buy?

Personally, I find one of the most important things to look for when buying bacon is the fat to meat ratio.  This really comes down to personal preference, and there is not a sticker on the packaging that says for every ounce of meat, there is a half ounce of fat. I do not care for my bacon to be too lean, but at the same time, I am also not a huge fan of buying bacon that is mostly fat.  Let’s face it, bacon has a lot of fat and it can start to get expensive.  In order to get the most value and taste for your dollar, you want to select bacon that has a good amount of meat, but a solid strip of fat running along the side.  The fat actually helps cook the bacon, and keep it from sticking to your pans; it also gives it the addicting flavor that keeps us running back for more.
