About a week and a half ago I bought a pound of bacon as I needed a few slices for a dish I was making. It was a braised fennel and white bean salad. Yummy!!!
The extra bacon was put in a baggie and stored in the refrigerator until a few moments ago when I decided it would be nice to make a BLT for lunch.
It got me thinking does bacon go bad? Bacon is a salt cured meat. That was done to preserve for sometime the meat. I guess eventually it would go bad but how long does it take? It was still good after a couple of weeks of not being frozen. That is longer than normal meat that is uncured.
