Taste was ok this one was injected with maple syrup. Pork belly gives a better taste but as they said in the videos just another way to do bacon.

Do you think it could have been in the cure longer? The centre in the photo not as pink as the outside areas.

Maybe Derek as you say it is all a learning curve. Certainly will do it again but do the traditional US style
Just need to keep our eyes open for when they are on special again. Cheers

Coles sell the whole piece as a regular item but not as cheap as we got these.
