Marco Pierre-White reckons the best way to do bacon is to microwave it. But then he offended Jamaicans everywhere by winging a rice and pea recipe without bothering to do any research.

He's a complete and utter johnnycake

Wasn't that whole series of videos just him flogging his stock pots?

30 years ago, on holiday in that there Florida, we used to go for all-you-can eat breakfast. Yank bacon is a fucking disgrace. Swimming in grease, more fat than meat, cooked within an inch of it's life. For a society built on fat buggers, they have no clue about bacon.

I think it has its own place, prefer it on a bacon cheeseburger or BLT or with pancakes/syrup. But on its own in a sandwich or as a side with a meal, no. It's streaky bacon. The closest they have to our kind of bacon is Canadian bacon, which is still pretty different. But they love their crispy greasy streaky bacon, they go on about it with an almost religious fervour. Don't even try making an English breakfast with American ingredients. The baked beans are wrong, sausages are wrong, bacon's wrong, bread is wrong, black pudding non-existent.

Still better than the Canadians. Flap-headed ham-friers.

black pudding non-existent.

That's cos of the ban isn't it?  Is it still in place?  I know a couple of years ago Trump was saying he'd lift it cos he was a fan of black pud and/or haggis.  You've always been able to get the South American equivalent wherever there's a latino community though.

Streaky bacon is better than back bacon.

I knew haggis was, but didn't know black pudding was.

Black pudding is banned in America for sanitary reasons.

It's not, but I'm going to CENTRIST CUNT this and propose that middle bacon is the best of all worlds.

[Shit Good Nose]

It's so difficult to get decent middle bacon if you haven't got a decent butchers.  All the supermarkets (well, those that sell it) treat it as a cheap cut.  Grey, oversalted, often sliced way too thickly.

Correct take.

One wants it streaky, rather thickly sliced, with rind on, and then one wants to put it under the fucking grill.

If one were to put it in the oven, the rind would not crisp before the rest of it were desiccated.

I hope that has cleared up any lingering doubts anyone had.

They have doughnuts with 'bacon' on them over there - even Greggs haven't come up with quite such an abomination.

Agreed with streaky, agreed with the thickness. But I like it done in the pan for about ten minutes on a medium heat until the thing has melted most of its fat into the meat, and become a crispy light brown shard. Like a light, warm scratching.

RIND

[touchingcloth]

Yes, rind on.

Buying some curing salts so you can make your own bacon is well worth it. You can make it more deliciously salty than Tesco's is allowed to because they get arrested and thrown in jail cos of health and safety.

I once went to a pub not long after easter and they were proudly announcing their burger of the week as something in a hot cross bun. dirty bastards,

"Gone are the days when bacon was exclusive to breakfast!"

Stuart's right[nb]I can call him that because we were best mates[/nb], because a fry-up was always our Saturday night dinner when I (and my elder brothers) were younger.

I grew up with bacon always being grilled, but I think fried is definitely the way to go.

[Captain Crunch]

On holiday a while ago I had this stuff:



Imagine bacon, cooked but then covered in ground up Bacon Fries and cooked again.  Not salty exactly just really really strong and stupidly addictive.

As a basic meal, I get the odd craving for egg and chips but without a chip pan it would only be disappointing wouldn't it?
