last Saturday and I packaged it up in 10-12 pieces to a pack, 
got 22 packages. How much bacon can you eat at one sitting?

You're from Texas and don't know what chicken fried bacon is?
A little off the track place called Sodolak's Steak House in Snook Tx (just west of College Station on FM 60) came up with it in the '90s, which is where I first encountered it when I worked the 2nd Austin Chalk drilling play. Since then, you can find it at most county fairs and other 'events'.
They used thin strips. I made it at home using thicker sliced strips, heavy seasoned with black and red pepper.
Plenty of recipes on the web.
I guess Sodolak's is still open tho I think the original guy is dead by now.
If you go, might want to take your defibrillator along (it's been (erroneously) described as fat, coated with fat, and fried in grease) and a big appetite. His steaks were huge last time I was there.

I looked it up, it's what I thought it was. My Grandmother used to do that with salt pork after she par-boiled it to get some of the salt out. She was cooking bacon like that long before the 90's!
