Yesterday I was making dinner for my wife and myself: slow-cooker pulled pork.
The recipe starts with chicken broth and two slices of bacon in the slow cooker. The pork is country-style ribs rubbed with a mixture of brown sugar, (smoked) paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. These are nestled into the cooker and cooked on high for about 4 hours.
I’m just going to come out and say it - I could take or leave bacon. I mean, I don’t dislike it but I don’t really get why there’s so much love for it. It’s like the whole world (excluding certain religions) is caught up in 2 decade long meme about how amazing it is.
I admit, if I ordered a full fried breakfast and there was no bacon I’d feel a bit shortchanged and a bacon sarnie on a hangover can hit the spot but otherwise i find it a bit meh.
