The DH and I have ordered bacon from several online sources in the
last couple of years, but can't find anything that knocks our socks
off. Anyone have a recommendation for breakfast bacon? Wouldn't hurt
if they also do excellent breakfast sausage (also wouldn't surprise if
it came from the same source, huh?).

TIA,

I don't, but it would be helpful if you gave us some names - saving
someone of posting a site you have tried.

Have you tried Usinger's? I've had good reports of their stuff. They
have all kinds of sausages and cured meats. And a website of course.

I ordered several types of bacon from gratefulpalate.com for my husband at
Christmas. Our favorite was Gatton Farms Dan Philips Secret Special Cure
Bacon; we also liked North Country Cob Smoked Bacon.

Would love to know what you've already tried.

The Grateful Palate has an amazing assortment of bacon. The ones I have
tried have been very good.

Enthusiastic second on the Grateful Palate. Wonderful selection,
excellent
descriptions and a fascinating collection of other things.

America's Test Kitchen did a tasting of bacon, both store and premium
brands. Unfortunately you have register to read it AND the useful stuff
is a PDF.

Not in USAia, but just next door, from deep inside one of USAia's most
important trading partners right to the north of youze. The slab bacon
is excellent, best I've ever eaten. I always buy it sliced for the
convenience and freeze it in groups of four slices. Many of their
sausages are excellent too. My stepson and my wife like the lamb
sausage (large), whereas I prefer the merguez.

I see by the online order account creation that they accept accounts
from the US, so you might just be in luck :-)

Also, your dollar's hyperinflated value means that the relative cost
will be less to you.

Thanks Brian, I saw that episode on TV, but I did register, it is easy.
Then there are some nice recipes, too regarding that episode which I was not
able to get just by viewing the program.
My appreciation,

Enthusiastic third on the Gratefulpalate. The cobb smoked bacon I got from
them is the best I have ever eaten.

You're right - I should have so noted. We ordered from Burger's
Smokehouse @ http://smokehouse.com/; from Dakin Farms @
http://www.dakinfarm.com/ ; Kunzler & Co. @ http://www.kunzler.com/;
and Harrington's of Vermont @ http://www.harringtonham.com/ . All were
Pretty good (Burger's) to okay to so-so.
