CycleChat investigates: Bacon

[FrankCrank]

Proper bacon is hard to get over here. Decent ham is easy enough to find. So, ham & eggs it is then, till I'm next back there and can do a bacon binge. Medium cooked, with HP sauce 🐖

 

[Ian H]

smoked back, from the butcher, none of your watery supermarket rubbish, cooked so it browns and with brown sauce or worcester sauce, black pepper and sliced fresh tomato in a buttery sandwich.

The quality of it is more important than how it's cooked. Proper butcher every time for me.

 

[Arrowfoot]

Smoked and always with 2 fried eggs (not 1). Never in a bun, bread or burger or any other meal. Other allowable accompaniments are sausages, tomatoes and mushrooms. 2 slices of buttered toast on the side.

 

[MontyVeda]

all bacon is good... that cheap stuff from which loads of white stuff floods is less so good... but it's still bacon, and therefore still good, just not as good as the good stuff.

I put "It's against my religion" because there isn't an option for "It's revolting"

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Back bacon. nice and crisp. Lots of HP, not just any brown, sauce.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Cooked with door stopper bread and drippping with butter

Butter and dripping? Cholesterolfest ahoy!

Bacon good. No bacon bad. Give bacon.

Preferred is thick cut smoked back bacon. But all bacon is good.

 

[raleighnut]

Thick cut Smoked and normally between 2 slices of lightly toasted Wholemael bread with a fried Egg and some Fried* sliced Mushrooms

Defo no sauce

* Mushrooms must be fried not chucked in some tepid butter and left to turn into a soggy grey mess, I use Olive Oil and a knob of Butter heated til it stops bubbling then a good grate of Black Pepper before the Mushrooms go in Oooh and don't just leave em alone, they need a stir every minute or so.

Thick, smoked, nuked and ketchup

*runs for cover*

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Ketchup? That orrible red stuff?
Mais non.
Cette sauce de haute quality est un espece melange....you can Google the rest.

Stop it. My sister is coming for lunch and we are on some veggie stuff with aubergines. I could cry.

Its against my releigion but I've never been observant. Feel sorry for those with religuous prohibitions on eating marmite!

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Results of my home-curing. Lovely texture and firm bite, but a gnat's nadger too salty. Mk2 will be improved.

I love bacon. Any bacon. Preferably smoked. My favourite bacon is/was middle rashers which now seems very hard to find in shops. larger than back rashers and cheaper too.
