Buckboard Bacon and Tasso

[Hog Slayer]

So looking at posts on here, is there a real difference between Tasso and buckboard bacon? Obviously, the cuts are smaller on Tasso. I see some tasso recipes that sit in cure for only four hours and dries for three days. The bacon sits in cure for seven or more days. But some Tasso has long curing too. So that leaves us with the spices??? Would cajun spice make that much of a difference on final product?

Btw...I hate this site! Spent way too many hours on here, since I joined last week! Lol

Absolutely, the spices are what defines tasso from bbb. Not even in the same ballpark when it comes to taste. Bbb has a nice cross flavor profile of belly bacon with a hammy taste, where as tasso screams cajun.

Yes it is.

Hog Slayer, I made a batch of Tasso a while back, turned out quite well. Picked a bit from two different recipes for mine (below). If interested, check out the links to each of them. Both would be a good bet for a run at some Tasso.
