Real bacon still on the hoof in a store in Chile:
OK, technically it isn't 'bacon'. It is closer to serrano
or Spanish lomo. Oddly, in Argentina and Chile 'lomo' is
applied to beef. Never did figure that out.

Lomo is just the particular cut. I'm pretty sure the direct translation is loin or tenderloin. Your pic is of a jamon (ham). You can get lomo or jamon in Spain both cured the same way, so its similar, but it’s a different part of the animal - loin vs leg. Its all awesome though. 'Serrano' is just used to differentiate what type of pig is used. Serrano is a more common type, while Iberico is a black pig, more rare and expensive. When I lived there I would eat jamon or lomo or chorizo every day. Soooo good. The father of one of the girls I worked with was a hunter. One day she brought me homemade chorizo made from a boar her dad killed the night before. Holy Shit!!! It was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted.
Yeah, Ecuador and Peru use lomo in reference to beef also. Not sure why either…probably just to annoy the spaniards.

Steve,
Thanks, as soon as you mentioned it I realized it was the cut although as
you know in Spain it only refers to the piggie as far as I know.
In Andalucia I had some lomo from the piggies that live off the acorns
down there and that was the best thing I've ever had, anywhere!

They do know their pigs down there. Oh man, getting hungry!
Love of piggies aside, you must be having some killer steaks in Chile. Wine, beef, climbing....man, I do need to get down there some day. Cheers!

If god didn't want us to eat bacon, why did he make it out of bacon?

TIP: Powder day > snow is too good to stop for food.
1000 GNAR points for 12 strips of crispy bacon in a baggie (lid of bacon)
+500 if also carrying Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin in the bota bag.
Thus no reason to stop skiing.

About a week ago while wandering past the freezer case at my local market, my eye caught “Today Only – 10 lbs of Hempler's Bacon Ends - $12.29.” Who needs 10 lbs of super premium bacon ends? WE DO! Our house now adorns that special aroma every morning as I wake up the family for real ranch eggs (big, small, dirty and double) and plenty of sizzling bacon. I like gnawing on those really thick and lean pieces that turn up in the 10 lb bags.
