And now... we wait. I've got 2.5 lbs of bacon a' makin in my fridge. I followed the recipe on the front page, just halved the seasonings.

With the exception of bacon, I've never really had pork belly before. I cut off a few big chunks, salted them, and fried them in my cast iron with some oil. Absurdly tasty. :swoon:

Finished my first batch of bacon last night. I cut off a strip and threw it on my cast iron skillet, it was a little too salty but still pretty delicious. It also kinda tasted like sausage? Did I do something wrong or is that how the recipe in the OP is supposed to taste?
