Bacon; a quest for the best

[drivin_me_nuts]

I'm a big fan of the Pig, between two slices of home made bread. Nothing beats it.

Now i'm, on a quest to discover the pig of all pigs..... the bacon of all bacons.

So can anyone recommend me a brand or a supplier who can provide the ultimate in piggywiggy rashers. Unsmoked, non streaky.

No idea where in the country you are but the butcher in the middle of this map does stunningly good bacon, both smoked and unsmoked.

Butchers just outside Dunstabe

You could always look for a good butcher who cures his/her own. Superb stuff. Our butcher is very good at this.

Back or middle?

My local butcher dry cures his own from local pigs, but you might not like paying for a ferry every time you fancy a bacon sarnie.

Personally I like smoked streaky.

Back of course. I had no idea our little piglette friends actually had a middle

Middle bacon is a bit like a rasher of back and streaky left stuck together:



It's splendid!

How come it is really difficult to get bacon with the rind on these days? Seems to be a thing of the past. I miss a bit of crispy rind...

Ask a good butcher and he/she should be able to do it.
