I think you will find Morrisons sell smoked bacon joints.

My local Morrisons had smoked and unsmoked bacon joints this morning, so did iceland. Last time I was in Somerfield, a couple of weeks ago, they had them too.

Just did a search for "bacon joint" on the Tesco web site and it produced 10 different gammon joints and no bacon joints.

We love bacon joints boiled and served with leeks, sprouts & carrots (lightly boiled in the bacon water after the bacon is cooked) mashed potato and a white sauce I make with a vegatable oxo crumbled into it half-way through cooking!

Just to say our local Morrisons also had smoked and unsmoked bacon joints just now. HTH

Can't find any bacon joints on the Iceland website. Would be interested in knowing their price.

They were £4.50 for a 900g joint.

I only looked at them because I had read this thread, but I remember thinking that the last time I looked at them in morrisons, they were £4.99 for a 1.2kg joint.

I bought a 1kg unsmoked bacon joint from Sainsburys today for £3.99. I made sure I got one with very little thick skin/ rind on it... less to throw away!!

Oh dear! seems that LizEstelle isn't doing very well in finding a decent, cheap, smoked bacon joint!:rotfl:

Waitrose do a smoked collar joint which is really tasty.

Years ago British Home Stores did food and used to sell gorgeous collar and gammon joints which were full of flavour. A small joint would feed 4 and have plenty left for sandwiches.
