bacon bits are great but they're so hard to do by hand, and the ones you buy in the store are dried out and gross. i just want to grate up some pizza toppings. would be good for peps (pepperoni) too

I still cut them by hand, just enjoy the process I guess. I also watch water boil though so I'm not a total traditionalist.

this does happen though. bacon is sold whole in places like bende's (european food stuffs grocery) or probably most normal butchers too
