  1. If it is Bean and bacon soup...Why do you start out with a ham bone?

    --
    It's not a question of where he grips it!
    It's a simple question of weight ratios!

    A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

    Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

    Dunno, what recipe are you using? Damsel's recipe doesn't call for a ham
    bone:

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1 pound dried navy beans -- (2 cups)
    1/4 pound bacon slices
    1 medium onion -- finely diced
    2 medium carrots -- finely diced
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    2 medium bay leaves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    8 cups water
    few drops liquid smoke flavoring

    Sort and wash beans, and soak overnight in 6 cups lukewarm water. Drain
    thoroughly.

    Cut bacon slices at 1/2-inch intervals. Fry bacon pieces until crisp.
    Remove from pan and set aside. Saute onion in bacon grease until
    translucent.

    In a large saucepan or dutch oven, combine all ingredients except liquid
    smoke. Heat to boiling, then lower heat and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2
    hours, or until beans are tender. Add liquid smoke to taste.

    1 (4 ounce) can tomato paste
    Dash of dried red pepper flakes

    wine vinegar, salt and pepper in a large kettle. Simmer until beans are

    it's required! 🙂

    What's your point? It lists ham stock as an optional ingredient. Did
    you "take note" of the six slices of bacon?

    It has carrots too, are you going to insist that it's a carrot soup?

    isn't the term 'bacon' often used for any cuts of cured pork? Besides,
    there's 'bacon' there in your recipe anyway ',;~}~

    Is a cured ham "bacon"? Are cured spareribs "bacon"? No not at all.
    Bacon is bacon.

    Salted and (or) smoked meat from the back and sides of a pig. American
    bacon (or "streaky bacon" as it's known in Britian) is a very fatty
    slab taken from the underside of a pig. The sliced bacon found in
    grocery stores is usually cured and smoked.

    Canadian bacon, taken from the loin or back of the pig, is closer to
    ham in taste and texture.

    No. In the US, bacon means bacon. Other cuts are referred to individually;
    e.g., ham (assumed cured/smoked, otherwise "fresh ham"😉, smoked pork chops,
    smoked hocks, etc. One might, in fact, include bacon and ham in the same
    recipe.

    Except for the cornmeal, what is the difference between Canadian bacon and
    peanmeal bacon? Canadian bacon I can usually take or leave. I would
    practically kill for peameal bacon.

    http://www.alliedkenco.com/data/recipes/peameal.htm

    Peameal Bacon is similar to Canadian Bacon. It is cured but not smoked.
    Peameal Bacon is made from pork loins weighing 12-14 Lb. They are
    trimmed of all the fat and the bones are removed. The term peameal
    comes from the ground yellow peas with which the bacon was originally
    coated. This ensured better curing and shelf life and avoided bacterial
    problems. Over the years this tradition was changed to cornmeal, due to
    the availability of corn.

    You may buy boneless loins from your butcher shop, which are about 8
    Lb. or so. Some supermarkets sell 4 Lb. loins that are half loins.
    These loins are sometimes pumped with marinades, water or other
    liquids. They should not be used in the recipes listed below, as the
    liquid level present in them will affect the curing process. Be sure to
    ask for a loin that has not been pumped.

    The meat is then cured in a brine solution or by dry rub. After curing
    the loins are coated with yellow cornmeal, sliced and fried.

    Damn...I just threw a lb of peameal bacon out due to freezer burn.

    Any Canadian Bacon (Back Bacon) I've seen has a small piece of fat
    along one edge. Pea meal bacon doesn't. Pea meal bacon comes
    unsliced...All the back bacon I've seen was sliced.

    The pea meal is an indicator the size of the ground corn meal

    Reference...Not a Canadian reference one.

    In Canada, Peameal bacon usually is not smoked, just pickled. And Canadian
    Bacon is available by the piece to
    slice yourself. That's the way I buy it because it's cheaper and usually
    better quality.

    Myself, I prefer Canadian bacon over peameal. I prefer a smoked product.

    Thank you! Years ago we used to spend a week each summer in Niagara-on-
    the-Lake, staying at the venerable Oban Inn before it was razed by fire,
    then after that at the Prince of Wales Hotel. Both hotel restaurants
    served the best peameal bacon I've ever eaten. We would buy several pounds
    of peameal bacon at a local market to take back to Ohio.

    Oh Wayne,

    I just went to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the first time last summer! Thanks
    for the memory! What a gem of a place. And, I remember seeing the Prince
    of Wales Hotel. It was a watermelon festival when I was there. Watermelon
    daiquiris, yum.
