SMT224 10 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Bacon really is one of my favorite spices, especially with beef stew! I think I'll survive the alleged shortage, as I don't need large quantities, but it is a critical ingredient. Link to post Share on other sites
CricketEagle 15 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 finally a topic and crisis I can sink my teeth into! There has to be a thread out here some where on the proper patrol method of cooking bacon ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
desertrat77 1144 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Bacon...nature's most perfect food. Can't imagine camping without bacon. But there is no projected shortage of Spam, as far as I know. Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 750 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Around these parts it's not only bacon but also all the bar-b-que places that are concerned. But really, it's just a matter of price and what we're willing to pay. If we like pork that much, whoever has a good farm with a lot of pigs is going to make a nice profit. Good for them! The alternative is to eat like you're Kosher or Muslim...or else cultivate a craving for, say, potatoes and cabbage. Yum! Me, I'm headed for a diet with lots of fish. Catch most of them myself for free. As far as I'm concerned (and this comes from someone who really loves bacon and bar-b-que) really good fried fish is just as delectable any day. I'll do just fine.

Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I read an article that while prices will go up because of corn mostly it was a well done PR release by a Brit Trade Group. And "Bacon" in the UK is what we call "Canadian Bacon". Our "Bacon" is their "Streaky Bacon". So I think there will be bacon but all Pig will cost more. Link to post Share on other sites

SeattlePioneer 144 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm guessing Obama will address this issue with a new Federal spending program. That's right ----more pork. - Link to post Share on other sites

BadenP 93 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Latest news on the internet this morning "There will be NO bacon shortage." apparently the announcement by a British source was premature to say the least Link to post Share on other sites
