    I've been Money Tipped!
    I like the taste of some bottled waters, and yes, I really can taste a difference in some (but not all!)..some its the softness, and some tap waters taste almost metallic and chemically. An excellent MSE tip, thanks to old style board, is to draw a jug of water and leave for a couple of hours. It really does taste better.

    turkey bacon..

    Mmmmmm, tasty.

    Quite a big thing in America, not as common over here, but in most supermarkets nowadays.

    turkey bacon makes sense, ina red meat avoidance/low fat kind of way in a way (other than for religious reasons) other red meat alternatives unless they taste outstanding are surprising. :) I don't recall ever having it, but it was around when I was a kid. Making bacon with lamb/beef is an interesting idea for small holders/self sufficiency which is why I asked. I've never seen/heard of lamb or beef alternatives before now

    I don't trust those who produce bottled water. How can you be sure that additives aren't added that might do you damage in the long term. All you have to do with tap water is to boil it and that gets rid of the impurities...


    not if they are chemical impurities. our water comes from lee valley and failed for a chemical contaminant several times last year. a slug killer i believe.
