From Russia with Bacon…
My little brother (I call him that because 1) he is my male sibling B) he is literally smaller than me and 3) he is younger than me) is currently finishing a two month stint working in Russia. He sent me a nice email on Sunday wishing me a Happy Father’s Day AND took the time to file this report for TDB:
Hey Mike! Everything is fine here. I attached some pics of Russian Bacon for your blog. Hopefully you can use them. It’s a traditional bacon, no spices, no smoky flavor, and no maple syrup flavor. Just little meat and a lot of very, very salty fat. It’s still good. The locals like to eat it raw. I can’t watch them when they do that, it just freaks me out. I’ve tried to tell them that they will get butt worms if they eat it raw, but they just dont care…
So there you go. Streaky bacon in Russia is not smoked, just heavily salt cured with a high fat content and if you are not careful Russian people, it will give you butt worms if you continue to eat your pork raw.
Beware the butt worms…beware!
