In the early 1990’s, I started seeing a lot more brands of bacon than I used to in my local supermarket. There were several national brands, a few smaller ones, and a seemingly ever-changing variety of brands that came and went as fast as the stores could sell them out.
For a time, I considered collecting examples of the different labels and somehow displaying them. Unfortunately, the nature of bacon labels (greasy, foul-smelling after awhile, and so forth) was rather discouraging. I thought of just photographing the various labels and collecting them, but somehow never got around to it until digital photography got more popular and less expensive.
And so I invite you to tour the gallery. I expect the display to grow as time goes on, because I rarely am without a camera. Although I’ve personally tasted most of the bacon brands displayed here, there are a few which I’ve simply photographed in the store.
YES YES YES. Has anyone tried duck bacon? I need to know how delicious it is. I LOVE duck and the thought of duck bacon has immediately made my nipples hard. Please share with me your delicious dacon experiences. I will reward you with cookies.
