Maken Bacon?

Please Mr CKing…the location of Nueske’s is? Not Janesville I hope…If so, we going fishing when I get down there for my pound of test bacon?

Nueskes is in WIttenburg, WI. made many travels there! They make a mean smoked pheasant….yum!

Headcheese…ikes! I didn’t think people really ate that stuff? I thought it was for parent to threaten their kids with!

That is what my grandfather use to do to me. After a while he would just pull it out of the fridge and I would run.

Carpking…mapquest didn’t like the name of the town…how about a zip code.

slider…rasin blood sausage. Once it started cooking I was out of the house for the duration.

Ah, Brian. Rasin blood sauage. MMM-MMM. It was my job as a kid to catch the blood from the hog in a pan filled with ice cubes and keep stirring so it wouldn’t congeal. Headcheese, blood sausage, cracklin’ cookies, rocky mountain oysters, lutefisk, pork hocks, cream from the separator for the wheaties, eggs and potatos fried in bacon grease, home churned butter, and apple pie with crust made from lard. If it ain’t fried, it ain’t died. No wonder I’m on Lipitor now.

Brian,

Try RJ’s Meats in Hudson. Right on top of the hill between Taco Johns and KFC. They slice it as thick as you would like! They have wonderful sausage and meats also. Try the jalepeno cheddar brats! WOO HOO!!!

I forgot all about RJ’s…heading there today…right after Fleet Farm..Thanks!

Stop by the liquor store and get some Leinies, and you’ve hit what I call the Trifecta!

The George Foreman grill works great. It drains the grease and prevents splattering.

Shaggy, there are “some people” that like the grease…I’m not going to mention Gary’s name in public.

Hey Brian, I put my bacon in a skillet and slightly lap it as to get enough of it in the pan. I cook it on medium low heat with a LID on the skillet to keep it from drying out. I put in a few tablespoons of water too keep it from drying out. I turn with a fork and put the lid back on until its done adding a little more water after turning it. I put a piece of paper towel on a plate and as soon as i take it out I lay it on the towel to absorb the grease. I pour off most the grease then put in my coarsely chopped potatoes with skins still on, red potatoes, then when thier done I take them out then turn the heat up and fry two sunny side up eggs while the wholewheat bread is toasting, four pieces, for real butter. Whole wheat bread with real butter dippend into fresh egg yolk! Man thats a good breakfast! The best bacon i’ve ever had was from a grocery store on the main drag on the south side of Prarie du chiene about 15 years ago. Smoked and cured with coarse ground pepper between the slices. They called it pepper bacon,Boy was that good bacon, thick sliced too.

Mossy…you had me until you got to the eggs…That pepper bacon was around a lot..but it seems to have gone the way of salt pork.

Once in a while I’ll sprinkle cracked pepper on our bacon. My wife is a pepperahalic. Good stuff!

Cooked Bacon? Who cooks bacon? You mean no one eats it raw anymore? I used to nearly gag as I would watch my grandfather knaw on bacon slices, washed down with a warm bottle of Blatz beer. Only thing I can think of was that the raw bacon made the beer taste better!

Ok…that one did it…rather eat eggs!

I’ve heard that Blatz killed the tricina (sp?) worm.

Anything would make Blatz taste better. Heck I might even try headcheese before I drink that stuff again.

I could keep going…..my grandmother saved bacon grease in a coffee can on the stove and would use it for shortening to make cookies! Trust me…there are a lot of cookies along side the road from Janesville to Necedah WI.

If your grandfather ate bacon raw, how did your grandmother get the grease?

Lol, I can’t control it, I can barely type, this sites too much, yay:

Oh, she cooked bacon too…..thats what the dog named Boobie ate!

A LOAF OF SOURDOUGH BREAD TOASTED
3-4 OF NEIGHBOR DALE’S HOMEGROWN TOMATES ”WELL PEPPERED”
AT LEAST ONE POUND OF THICK SLICED BACON FRIED TO TASTE
A HEAD OF LETTUCE
MIRACLE WHIP
SLICED VADALIA OINION IF AVAILABLE

NOW ASSEMBLE INTO A XX-LARGE BLT IT USUALLY TAKES AT LEAST 2 TO GET TO A SATISFIED POINT
1 COLD BEER TO DRINK PER SANDWICH

ALSO MY AUNT WOULD FRY THEIR HOMEMADE BOHEMIAN BACON NEVER DRAINING THE GREASE OFF UNTIL THE EGGS WERE FRIED. THEN THE GREASE WAS SAVED TO FRY CHICKEN IN OR IF IT WAS RAINING OUT SIDE SHE WOULD START FRYING THE CHICKEN RIGHT AWAY SO IT WAS DONE FOR LUNCH. THEN THE FARM WORK WOULD BEGIN.

ENJOY

Sooo…Boobie ate burnt bacon in the barn with butter?

Hey Gundy? What’s “HOMEMADE BOHEMIAN BACON”?

I had a bohemian girlfriend that always called me a “hunyack and pizzard”…can you translate…maybe in a pm if need be? She would never tell me what it meant…Actually I think her mother started it when I told her that I didn’t like her prune kolochis.

WELL THE BOHEMIAN BACON WAS DEEPLY SMOKED I KNOW THAT AND OF COURSE 95% FAT. WHAT THEY SMOKED IT WITH WAS USUALLY APLLE WOOD AS THEY HAD ALOT OF THAT. AS FAR AS HUNYUK AND PIZZARD I DON’T KNOW WHAT THERE REAL MEANING IS EITHER. I WAS CALLED A HUNYUK ALOT BUT I NEVER HEARD THE WORD PIZZARD. THERE IS SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES OF KOLACKY THAT I COULDN’T TELL YOU WHAT STLYE YOU HAD. I KNOW MY MOTHER MADE DIFFERENT KINDS FROM PRUNES, APPLESAUCE, APRICOTS AND EVEN PEACHES AND WE ATE THEM AS FAST AS SHE WOULD MAKE THEM SHE WOULD PUT POWERED SUGAR IN THE MIDDLE. THAT IS PART OF THE REASON I GREW UP ROUNDER THAN HIGH.

GUNDY

No, no…Boobie ate perfect bacon in the house at the table with a bib on!

Can you imagine sitting around a table in a tavern after a few and talking like this, i’d be on the floor with laughing cramps.

Mossy and Brian, I could tell you grandparent stories that would put you in a nut house laughing! I still have nitemares!

I know what you mean, my old great grandmother just love too set and pick the meat off of chicken necks and backs. She didn’t want the meat off of the legs, thighs or breast. She’d sit for hours and work on them, she had the cleanest chicken bones on the block, probably the whole valley.

Never…Never laugh at a KOLACKY! Unless you want to be in the Hunyak and Pizzard club.!
