Envious! I started dry curing streaky bacon last weekend. Should have a kilo of finest ready in ten days. Can't wait, smells and looks amazing. Are you.curing/smoking any?

 

It is the best bacon you will ever eat - I buy bellies off the butcher and do a few different cures - When you cook it there is no white water comes out of it at all!!

Hi

At my local abattoir it's £45 for kill and butcher into main cuts like hams ribs belly chops etc I had to cut bacon etc and loin off.but if the pig is over 100kg it jumps upto £70. Each Mine were just under 120kg each but I knew him so I didn't have to pay extra.

Cheers
