FH, your comment made me think of Peep Show, when they are arguing about Frosties.

On topic: Smoked bacon, crispy rind FTW. It makes for the perfect BLT.
Can't be doing with no stringy, lank shit or rind that resembles cartilage   Lips Sealed No

You don't tend to get bacon with the stringy rind any more. My Mum used to give the rind to the birds.
Also, the little bony bits you had to cut out, haven't seen them for years.
Bacon has come a long way in 30 years Smiley

But yes, bacon should always be crispy, who the fuck wants soggy bacon?

T H Burroughs butchers sell bacon with the rind on. When I was a butcher back in the day bacon always had rind on it and sometimes those cartridge bits from the end of the rib cage (which I don’t mind myself), these are mechanically removed in the automated box ing process whereas before the boning was by hand. The supermarkets as you’ll know do not sell such delicacies. What is more back in the day bacon wasn’t pumped full of nitrates and protein water to bulk out the profit margin which is what produces that white scum when you cook it.

It has to be crispy and surprising how good it taste considering what a pig consumes!

Not the pigs used for the bacon you you buy through a normal retail outlet. Now, if you have a few of your own they will eat what you give them, which would be vegetable waste, pig nuts. Their diet is more controlled than you think. Unless you can get hold of the odd dead criminal sent your way by brick top.

Commercially raised pigs eat pig feed (pellets), which is made from rice and vegetables and stuff.

All bacon is good. Crispy or not.

I prefer non crispy in a bacon butty and in a fry up.

bacon had a unique property that it enhances anything you add it to, including bacon

Nothing like a varied diet. Look what humans eat, ok we don’t eat humans but the more varied the diet the better the flavour of the meat. For example, back in my early butchery days I worked with an old chap. He told me that his family had a few chickens and to help feed them during the summer they hung a sheep’s head in the coup. The flies would lay their eggs on the head, maggots hatched and ate the putrid flesh, dropped onto the floor and the chickens ate the maggots. Best tasting chicken you ever ate according to him.

Called pig nuts. Supplemented on small holdings with vegetation. Maybe the odd dead rat.
