We have been searching for bacon

So this is how it goes....

I have read all these fabulous US post's about getting bacon that is paleo friendly. Unfortunately, living in Perth we don't have the demand for producers to provide paleo friendly products like bacon.  In many cases I have to buy my almond meal in 400g packets. Bulk buying is not that much cheaper.  Maybe I am not looking in the right places.  I really don't have the time to go searching for great stockists of things that I need for the food we cook.  So I stumble.

Well yesterday while Man and I were looking for different places to buy our groceries we stumbled across an organic/free range butcher who stocks...... nitrate free bacon.  There are no numbers on the packet at all. The bacon itself is a Mondo's https://www.mondo.net.au/wholesale/supplies.php product and is cured in salt and sugar.  While I could do without the sugar part of the curing process I am happy to endure this rather than purchase the bacon from other retailers with a litany of chemical numbers on their ingredient panel.

The butcher is http://www.prontogourmet.com.au/ (Pronto Gourmet Butchers) in Mosman Park.  The butcher also let us try some of the Mondo's ham, similarly cured. OMG YUM!!!!!  The only draw back is that these products are twice the price of non numbered bacon and ham. I can deal with that. The taste is superior to other products also.

The meat looks beautiful in this butcher shop.  I will be going again.  

If you pop in tell them that the Urban Cave Girl sent you.

Happy Hunting and Gathering.
