    Thumbs down Cookied Bacon smells like pigs!!

    Cooked some bacon the other morning and it had the offensive odour of pigs.

    When left to cool the odour disappeared.

    Anyone else struck this????

    I only recently came across references to using female only pork. Google Boar Taint for more info.

    reading title I was going to ask what you were complaining about and then for recipe and make some for neighbours across the road

    Isn't bacon supposed to smell like well pig or are you used to cured smoked type which is highly salted and sometimes in a brine. If bought from a butcher it may be wild bore it has strong odour.

    I whole heartedly agree that pork/bacon doesn't smell right. To me its the smell of their pelletised food. The "nuts" they are fed have an odour to it and this smell comes out in the taste of the cooked meat.
    We were in the Supermarket looking at the packaged meat on show. The prices were (Well I thought) very dear for the small amount of meat that you got. The cheaper meat was chicken. I grew up in a time when we only ate chicken on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. It truly was a "special" occasion when we would eat chook. Now we would have 2-3 meals of chicken a week. Oh and pork back then did taste like pork
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Male pigs that are raised for pork are not necessarily castrated. Those that are raised to baconer are, as they are reaching maturity. Often oversized porkers get used for bacon, which is fine, so long as they are gilts or sows. If they are boars and the male hormones are active, they make lousy eating.

    This was Bacon from Aldi. Never had a problem before and this only happened halfway through the
    pack. The last couple of rashers were consigned to the bin.

    The current lot of bacon was bought from Woolies, unpackaged, as the butcher had run out!! So far OK.

    Ana and I had a meal of prime ribs in Las Vegas that we could not eat due to the odour. All meat there
    was feed lot stuphph and for my grass fed taste buds it was not right.

    Thanks for that. now I have an idea about what chicken tastes like without actually having to eat one.

    Cheers

    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.
