G'day Folks,
A week and a bit ago the wife and I went to Costco who had a tri-pack of Canadian style Streaky bacon, but the smell of Maple Syrup was quite over the top and dominated the taste of the bacon itself. I cooked some with eggs the other day in the kitchen but again, the smell of maple syrup was dominant and you could smell it in the house for days after.
Today I cooked the other 2 packs out on the Jumbo Joe kettle, it was still pretty strong but at least being outside didn't take over the house, so while I like Bacon, this was just a trial to see if we liked it and while it tasted ok, my wife commented that she felt it couldn't really be used for much else and with other foods we normally eat so I don't know if I'll ever buy a flavoured bacon again.
Even on the grill pan in the BBQ, I could smell the Maple syrup but not the bacon itself.....different for sure but not really for Australian tastes I feel.
