    The best bacon in the world! If you are ever close you should visit. Hopefully the whistling man 2:39 in the red plaid shirt will help you! Be sure and get a couple of lbs of breakfast sausage too. Seasoning meat should also be on your list, then make a big pot of beans with it. My son would tell you Alan has the cheapest Dr.Pepper machine in the county as it is only $.25 !! All you mail order people get on an plane and visit Madisonville TN.

    • @0623kaboom
      @0623kaboom 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      it aint bacon it is pancetta ... bacon is a smoke only process ... pancetta is a salt cured pork that is smoked
      when it is properly made the smoke process is done low and slow over 3 to 5 days which allows the meat to turn its natural salts into flavour inside the meat ... by adding salt to the process from the begining you are making an italian pancetta or italian bacon ... it is NOT BACON ... the salt cured ham id it isnt smoked is porchetta
      .
      sadly americans dont know the difference between bacon and pancetta

    Spent my summers as a kid eating Benton bacon. The company is in Vonore, TN and I have a cabin up on Citico Creek right up the road. Many a day my mamaw cooked up some Bentons, eggs and biscuits with redeye gravy.

      @dangerdavefreestyle 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It would likely be a bit of a heavier axe called a maul. Plus you'd do that on a stump or large heavy round log so its up off the deck at a better height and creates a chopping block. And, if you've ever used a woodsplitter or especially have a large scale operation, you'd never be using an axe.

    Here in Alabama we bury our shoulders and middlins in course salt for 2- 3 wks then dump the salt box and cover the cured meat with cornmeal to absorb excess moisture for about a month or till the peach trees bloom and the hang and smoke for 36 hrs sausage as well

    I'm too selfish to save the planet by going vegan (but I do love a good falafel) - but I'm all for cutting back and ensuring the meat I do eat is quality, and this ticks that box.. just need to work out how to get his to Europe..

    I was born and raise in East Tenn and traveled hwy 411 right by Bentons all my life never knowing. I was in NY City at a Fine dining restaurant where the waiter was explaining the chiefs dish for the evening and he said “fracturing Bentons bacon”. I asked what is Bentons bacon? I figured out it was the small place I had passed a hundred times.
    When I got home I drove down to Bentons to discover it was owned by Allen Benton a old college buddy of mine I hadn’t seen since college. I bought several pounds of bacon and the best country ham I have ever eaten.
    We have a saying around our house “if it isn’t Bentons it isn’t worth eating” .
