ayrshire bacon
Hello: I live in Victoria British Columbia. A local butcher shop is making a product that they call Ayrshire bacon. It looks like they have removed the loin and pork belly all in one piece and rolled the pork belly around the loin and cured and smoked it. It is very good. Anyone evere come across anything like this?
Thanks,
Bert,

Thank you DLFL, I have been reading with great interest!DLFL wrote:I found this on the sausage maker. Ayrshire
After some searching I located a large butcher shop near Columbia (SC) about 45 min drive from here, I'll have to go there and see if I can maybe get them to cut that.ajwillsnet wrote:The Ayrshire Bacon that I get here from a local butcher shop appears to be cut as one piece
Wow, that's brilliant Dave, I will have to try a small piece of pork for bacon first, work out all my hurdles then progress from there.Dave Zac wrote:Sounds like this is the cut?
I'd love to get to the stage of having the experience to make Ayrshire bacon. It will take a while, maybe a few months, but I'll do it!

The link to the sausagemaker that Dick posted seemed to suggest that half of a small pig was boned and skined and cured and then rolled including both front and hind leg or at least parts of the leg. Turns everything into bacon instead of making roasts, cured cuts and sausage.
