mmmmmmm, bacon thread...

The correspondent was especially confused by America's lack of interest in boiling it.

Hell, we have a sandwich called "The Baconator". God Bless America!

baka-san: You know what would make bacon even better...

MORE BACON

And then... a hard fried egg. Mmmmm.

Ewwwwww, you know where eggs come from don't you. Just kidding, not an egg man myself, but where would we be if we were all the same.

You seem to be confusing bacon with ham.

Wait, I am confused. He says this like it is a problem.

Bacon has delicious, delicious flavor. The British hate delicious flavors. Hence...well...pretty much all their food.

1) You don't appear to know that the bacon sarnie is a national tradition

2) You put ready made sauce in your lasagne.

seriously? ready made sauce? that's the best you got?

Tucci: Occasionally it even comes ground up and sprinkled over your dinner like a kind of dark, meaty snow

At what soon-to-become-my-favourite restaurant is this served?

You've never heard of bacon bits, have you.

You're not supposed to boil ham, either.

ewwww ewwww ewwww, all flabbery and gross.

I am eating a bacon sandwich right now, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/YA RLY

Mmmmmmmm. Dark, meaty snow...

Mmmmm.... bacon...

How can people be so cruel?

Bacon

I've often heard that food in England is terrible.

Now that I know that they don't know how to use bacon, I understand completely.

His apparent confusion on the issue of bacon is the reason they still live in the Olde Country, while the braver, brighter came to America.

Bonzo_1116:

Yes. Yes you are.

From Jim's routine:
Bacon bits are like the fairy dust of the culinary world. Don't want that baked potato? Bipity Bopity Bacon. Now its your favorite part of the meal.
And bacon bits on a salad is like smoking while jogging.
Eventually it just becomes a game of find the bacon in the lettuce.

First Rule of Cooking:

EVERYTHING GOOD STARTS WITH BACON

/Sod off, vegans.
// Your food isn't good.

LOL
I should have hit "refresh"

Hell, you can even substitute soap and shampoo with it.

England eats better bacon, not the streaky bacon you get in the US.
Back bacon is just plain better.

Meaty snow...mMMmmmMMMMmmm....

And damn us Americans and our fancy bacon-including salads like Salad Nicoise...wait...um...like spinach salad...no, um...

Oh, bother. I'm going to eat some fatback and go to bed.

To this silly English K*Nigght, I say...

Stavros: Bonzo_1116:

Yes. Yes you are.

Unless you're making soup, or boiling up beans, I just can't see why. You'll lose all the precious salt and residual grease.


I just might try a bacon sarnie...I've never had ketchup with bacon, and I am now intrigued. Would it be better to have that on plain white bread or on sourdough?

MMMMMM.... I wonder how BACON Fajitas would be ?

Homer:So, you think you know better than this family, huh?
Well, as long as your in my house, you'll do what I do,
and believe what I believe. So butter your bacon!
Bart:Yes, father.
Homer:Bacon up that sausage, boy.
Bart:Dad, my heart hurts. Ohhh...

Spider Dijon: England eats better bacon, not the streaky bacon you get in the US.
Back bacon is just plain better.

I *do* like the bacon there, very juicy, with the "Canadian Bacon" center and the fatty bit on the outside.

America is becoming Canada's 11th province or its 3rd territory.

Spider Dijon: England eats better bacon, not the streaky bacon you get in the US.
Back bacon is just plain better.

Or just make your own. Not that hard, just time consuming.

And I think it's what heaven must taste like.

Bonzo_1116: You're not supposed to boil ham, either.

A lot of people do, though. Whereas bacon, boiled, in my country ? It's less likely than you think.

ceremony_1968's pic couldn't be more British if it tried - except that there's no HP Sauce.

Jayzus Crusty: MMMMMM.... I wonder how BACON Fajitas would be ?

I used to make bacon, cheese and refried bean burritos as an emergency meal for myself back in college. It was fantastic with beer.

The little map at the end of the article is really a nice touch, isn't it? It should show more bacon locations though.

Somewhere there is a photo of a cat standing on the back of a pig, captioned "Still not enough bacon" (or something like that).

That's how I feel about it.

Are you kidding? When I use bacon in soup, I always pour the delicious grease in the stock. It gives even the most bland soups a wonderful flavor.

Time to go to the kitchen

England - The land of boiled meat! Better bacon? You've got to be kiding me....

Back bacon is glorified ham. Yummy on Hawaiian pizza, pretty much disgusting otherwise. I'll stick with my side bacon, thank you very much.

Occasionally it even comes ground up and sprinkled over your dinner like a kind of dark, meaty snow...

That's such a lovely *sniff* turn of phrase... I'm sorry, I have something in my eye.

denmeister:

Oh, yeah. That obviously goes without saying. Same deal with ham hocks in beans or greens.

I also advise saving your bacon grease to make grilled cheese sandwiches in. The high smoke point of the bacon fat lets you get the bread perfectly crispy without burning.
