food Peppered Reaper Bacon

[Ashen]

I had some bacon curing and after the latest TD , I decided to do a tester with reaper.
 
 
I ended up doing just a  plain sugar maple smoked, a black peppered smoked and a small hunk of this  reaper black peppered bacon.  Soo good.    Still saving the end pieces as yet. Its gonna be in a epic Bacon and tomato sandwich for lunch tomorrow.

Those pictures give me chest pains.  Hhhnnnggg! 
 
Noice.

It is very good and the end slices I am sure will have lots heat but  next batch I think I will go straight reaper powder  and slice a bit thicker because the inside slices weren't even as hot as  the mix flake rubbed bacon I used to wrap the asparagus in the TD .

You guys have pea meal don't steal bacon from us dammit the Aussies already stole the rest

 

[Ashen]

No worries.. the British still kick all our butts with Wiltshire bacon..  best of both worlds, belly and loin.   .  We don't have proper butcher shops here , so sourcing a piece of belly with loin attached is hard.. I  might have to break down and buy some of that meat glue Transglutaminase crap and fake it .
