All about Bacon!

iceicebaby

I also only like decent bacon so therefore dont have it often. When I do its always back bacon, unsmoked if its just me or smoked if OH is visiting!

I use smoked back, just like it as all...

On a little side note Scientists at my university have recently made the 'perfect' bacon butty... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/6538643.stm

What's peoples preference - fried or grilled?

HappyIdiotTalk

Fried defintely. I have a griddle pan with a cast iron panini press, and use that to cook mine! Yum! I dont want to think about my cholesterol though.

Yes please stop it!

OH has just left for a week, and my plan is/was to finish the huge pot of veg soup, and eat low calorie food just from the freezer and cupboards. But there's now no way I'll get through the w/end without a bacon roll!

When I was a kid, my nan used to get some very tasty smoked bacon from her local butcher. That, on decent white bread, with a cup of hot sweet tea, is one of my favourite childhood moments.

Has to be British bacon by the way Support British pig farmers -don't buy that Danish stuff !

Gotta be grilled, lightly crisped.

Smoked and grilled. Have tried to fry but the bacon just oozes white gunk and starts to burn so I'm doing something wrong. Tips?

The white gunk is stuff that they add to make the pig grow faster/make the bacon last longer/bulk it out/some other nefarious purpose. Nothing you can do about that apart from not buying that bacon. If it's burning, try turning the heat down. Real bacon can stand a higher heat than mass produced stuff.
