She wanted you to kiss her on the mouth.

Equal weight thigh and breast meat, approximately 1" cubes but then seasoned, cured and vac sealed so they may elongate beyond an inch. Cured for a week then sous vide cooked to 145 F internal. Ice bath, room temp bloomed for 30 minutes then frozen until solid enough to slice at “12” on the meat slicer.

It’s a prototype, I’m not ready to share the full measurements and process quite yet. Give me a couple weeks and the next iteration will be reproducible.

The journey is the joy.

Missing what?

This was my first attempt ever. I mentioned process tweaks and I’ll elaborate here I would use more mechanical processing to optimize protein extraction and thus binding so it doesn’t separate when sliced and cooked. Otherwise it has the texture of real bacon and delicious turkey flavour.

I can add smoke but it’s typically not included in a health-conscious turkey strip where I live.

I’m legitimately curious, don’t leave me hangit bro.

Hey I get it. I’m a retail butcher which means I value true pork bacon but also means I have to make stuff like this. I’d rather be the guy making it than sourcing it, I have control over quality and flavour.

I planned on baking bread this morning but didn’t have time.

I’ll live vicariously through you today.

Love me that heel!

It’s a popular product that is difficult to source reliably. Making it in house solves that, saves cost and produces a higher quality result we can charge a premium on.

I was given a sizeable raise this past spring.

This was company meat. After Thanksgiving I’m buying a whole turkey to make pepperoni sticks for my nieces. If they want I’ll make a slab of this for them too.

Made BLT sandwiches for staff lunch. The rest is going home to my boss’ wife.

Pro-commonwealth Canadians?

We call them “boomers” up here

The blood in your heart has been in your boner and that’s pretty sus

How long until they hold a referendum to leave?

Nice cook but give us a moneyshot cross section of the sandwich next time!!!

That would be inside out sear since we’re being pedantic.

It was just a double entendre, not a jab. I lol’d then and I’m lol’ing now friend.

Sir this is a shitpost

Bath salt more likely

Imagine RFKjr running WHO

I used to cook at an all day breakfast joint, I pretty much stopped eating eggs after than.
