No, All Bacon Is NOT the Same and Here's Why.

Yes, you read that right. not all bacon is created the same. There are different kinds of bacon and each cooks differently and has a slightly different taste. In this video, we take a look at some of the different varieties of bacon, cook them, and talk about some of their possible uses. Let me know if you would like to see more videos like this. Thanks!
Happy eating,
Ajay

The back bacon tastes like a pork chop because it comes from the same muscle group as a pork chop. Also, the bacon flavor that you get, normally comes from being cured and smoked.. so they probably didn't do that, to that 1 piece, which will make it taste like ham. I've had bacon that tastes like ham because it wasn't smoked

Ohhhh good to know!!

@@TheCultureofCookery fun fact: beef belly, processed like pork belly, tastes almost the same as pork bacon

[@TheCultureofCookery]

@@Spectralgem348 oh seriously? Never had beef belly. I would assume texture would be a bit different?

[@SuperP37]

back bacon comes from the tenderloin of the pig...not the loin

[@TheCultureofCookery]

Thanks for taking time to leave a comment! But I do beg to differ. Tenderloin is a much smaller cut on pork and has completely different muscle structure. This link on google shows that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_bacon

@@TheCultureofCookery thanks....you're right. my mistake.

You forgot JOWL bacon. One of my favorites and easy on the wallet.

[@TheCultureofCookery]

Ohhhh can't say I've ever had jowl bacon! I'll have to check it out next time I'm at the store. Is that more of a specialty bacon?

@@TheCultureofCookery IN the south its everywhere. You might have to order online or ask a butcher for it. But its a cheap cut of meat that must be cooked well for it to taste amazing. I hope you dive into it as it is a favorite of mine to this day.
