Corn King<\/a> bacon has been my favorite since childhood. Always uniform in size, fit in the frying pan, great salty taste. WTF happened?<\/strong> The last half dozen packages we have gotten all suck. Hell the ALDI generic bacon has much higher quality control that Corn King. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always viewed this as a premium bacon. Perfect if you were going to cook some wild game like pheasant. A few cups of 50\/50 blended Rhine wine and water poured into a roaster. Baste the bird with real butter and wrap over the top with Corn King bacon and put in the oven just like chicken. Always came out awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning was the last straw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was thin, stringy, no two pieces the same thickness. Lots didn’t have the same length. Cooked down to a scrawny little strip in the center. WTF?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry for the flash glare<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s like they decided to “cut costs” by throwing out all quality control. It’s going to be ALDI generic bacon from now on because they have higher quality control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When these strips started out many didn’t even fit in the frying pan I normally use to cook bacon. You can see just how much they shriveled up! If you take your customers for granted they will take their business elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a guy living on a farm in the Midwest<\/a>. My neighbors raised hogs my entire childhood. I helped sometimes. When it comes to this part of the country, We know bacon!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
