can we please stop wasting time discussing other parts of the pig? Bacon is the future, and we need to look forward, comrades

I meant no offense Skiff. Of course vote any way you’ld like. I was just pointing out that it seemed as if you voted for ham only because of the gravy. My bad.

Ham is served many different ways, just as is pulled pork. To be exact, I have seen pulled pork with gravy, and it looked pretty darn good.

Don’t get me wrong, I love ham. Hard not to when one lives not far from Smithfield, Va.

Country Ham(aka salted ham) biscuits = one happy fella.

Bacon definitely wins this bracket. But ham vs pulled pork is a hard one. If I had a dish of sliced ham versus a dish of pulled pork in front of me, which would I take first, take more of, and go back for more?

In the end, it’s pulled pork for me.

What fun! I plugged the tournemanet on my blog.

I’ve read that bacon is the number one craving that lures vegetarians back to meat. But can it beat out a good steak?

Sausage will trump bacon in the end. Bacon is nothing more than a stringy salt-lick. It’s good, but not THAT good. Bacon goes well on burgers et. al because it stands in line and does not get in the way. Try throwing a sausage on a burger….the meats will have to compete for the alpha taste. Sausage is a strong, hefty, flavorful meat. Bacon will go down. You’ll see.

Well, Raiders757, I think that you’re picking nits and I can vote however I like, especially since its all f-in’ pig anyway.

I personally enjoy pig prepared as ham more than pig prepared as pulled pork (much like how I enjoy cows prepared as veal more than cows prepared any other way) part of that reason is because ham is often accompanied by gravy, which i enjoy quite a bit, whereas pulled pork is not.

If next year there’s a condiment bracket, I’ll make sure I don’t vote on whether I like one condiment more than another based on how much I like the foods that condiment goes for.

Skiff, ham doesn’t have gravy. Ham is what it is, ham. We’re not voting on condiments here, and tha’t what gravy pretty much is.

That’s like saying I voted ofr pulled pork because it has BBQ sauce. A good batch smoked pulled pork destroys ham any day of the week, and I say that living in one of the ham capitals of the world.

Hard to pick between bacon and pork chops. I love them both, but in th eend, bacon is a treat I can’t live without.

The next choice wa seasy. Pulled pork destroys ham if it’s done the right way. Pulled pork should make it into the final four.

It’ll be Steak, Shrimp, Chicken, and Pulled Pork in the final four. That’ my prediction.

Bacon is meat candy. Like other posters said, bacon makes everything better and is the ultimate meat. Pigs dream of becoming bacon, it’s the pinnacle of their existence to become porky smoked goodness.
