SMT224 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Still, the Bacon Explosion is tempting... and what better way to actually manifest a shortage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What? No shortage? It was all a plot by the Duke brothers to increase the futures price of pork bellies? Where is Louis and Billy Ray when you need them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well, it's still a good idea to always have a couple pounds on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoPenn Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I live in Illinois - in the top ten pork producing states in the US, we're number 2. Number 1 is our neighbor Iowa. To give you an idea just how much Iowa produces, Illinois produces about 1/3rd of what Iowa produces. Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin aren't slouches when it comes to producing pork either. The rest of you may have a bacon shortage, but we'll be just fine in the upper mid-west as we make sure that we get our first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Actually, neither Iowa nor Illinois lead in producing pork. That would be Washington DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5scoutmom Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Our crew set up a contingency plan - each boy plans to buy a 40 lb box, cook it up, bag it in sections and freeze it, to be defrosted as needed in the "Baconator," a device "Macgyvered" by one of my sons. I told the boys this might be the time to start practicing some Kashrut, but they didn't like that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
