Anyone in Scarborough, Hong Tai chinese supermarket has a sale on pork bellies. They are on Victoria Park south of Sheppard.

Nice price. I have about 82#s(two cases) of bellies waiting for me that will cost me around $50. Only holdup is the 3+ hour drive each way to go get them. But if it doesn't happen this weekend it will next weekend for sure. Can't wait to get my first bacon cure started.

Nuge,do you want to sell any of those or split the case? I live in Inver Grove Hts so we could meet somewhere.

Bit of a hike from Ottawa, though it is tempting. I used to date a girl from Scarberia, commuted back and forth every weekend. I did it for a woman so I really should for bacon too. ;D ;D ;D

Gonna load up the smoker all 4 racks with bacon. By the sounds of all of you who have made it , I should enjoy it.

That is a steal.

$.66lb is cheaper than chicken necks.

Now that i think of it I might have to make 2 batches, this is gonna be a great gift to share with friends.

I've never seen bellies around here. May need to talk to a couple butchers to see if they can get some. ???

It is a good thing that these bellies need to cure for 5-7 days, it is blowing and snowing pretty badly today. I dont know how well my set-up with the insulated cabinet would work with the conditions of today. Hmmmm, maybe it would be a good test for the smoker. I might pick something else up to smoke for today when i get home just after noon. :-\

You have time to get something smoked in time for the hockey game. 9:30 start vs the Slovaks tonight.

Yup , picked up a pork butt for the weekend and a pork tenderloin for tonight. Gettin her in now.

On a side note, it looks like the Pork Bellies are all gone, I grabbed 6 of them and when i came back to the counter they were all gone.

I really have to find a place in St. Louis that will sell pork bellies cheap. The last place I stopped said they could order them for around $3.50 per pound :o
