Talk about great bacon! This bacon was so lean and flavorful – I savored every bite. Irish back bacon is basically pork loin with a bit of side bacon attached. I have tried grocery-store brands of Irish back bacon before, but it tastes nothing like the bacon from zingermans.com. It is great with Southern-style trimmings for breakfast – Irish back bacon, buttermilk biscuits and grits. www.zingermans.com
