  Yeah I can't help eating 2 or 3 lbs. once I get started   

If it's because of me then you're quite welcome!

Don't now yet, just asked the butcher to get some. I'll give her to next week. She said they cost her about 2.00/lb, so I am guessing about 3.00/lb. If I remember correctly there is 6 sides to a case. between 50 to 75 lb. But my butcher will store the bellies I'll pull 2 every two weeks. She will slice the bacon super thin, and she vac-sealed it all on trays for me. The last case I got about August last year was only .50/lb. they just wanted to get it out of inventory. I laughed and called her a pusher, give it away the first time to get you hooked!

I share what I make with her and the owners. Will save some of this last Andouille for 'em.... its a nice relationship.

I agree that is very good looking bacon that you made Smoking B. As soon as I get to try making bacon I hope mine ends up being half as excellent as yours did.
