Part of why I use slab bacon for this is you can really control the cut on it.

我为此使用厚片培根的部分原因是你可以真正控制它的切割。

Tuck in a third of a pound of slab bacon, toss in a tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of whole black peppercorns, and then cover this all with water.

塞进三分之一磅的平板培根，加入一汤匙盐和一茶匙整颗黑胡椒，然后用水覆盖。

Slab bacon tends to be a good bit drier, easier to slice, and we have these nice, thin lardon shapes which are gonna retain some of their chew and bounciness in the chowder.

培根片往往更干一些，更容易切片，我们有这些漂亮的、薄的猪油形状， 它们会在杂烩中保留一些咀嚼和弹性。
