Should you be allowed to cook bacon outside in the morning?

[joe and sue]

Bacon should be an easy thing to cook……but I find it difficult.
Bacon nowadays is full of water, even the dry cure isn’t brilliant, I usually end up with a wadge of kitchen towel in the tongs mopping up the liquid from the pan.
I bought some bacon the other week from a small village shop, twice the normal price but it was from a Butcher and hardly any liquid came out and it tasted fantastic!

Local farm shop butcher for our bacon, no added water, or anything else in that

2 rashers Back unsmoked, 2 rashers Streaky smoked, fresh Bloomer bread, and sliced fried mushrooms, thin spread of BROWN sauce, sometimes bread toasted as well,

We have a roadside butty wagon parked just up the road from us and he does a big breakfast roll in a whole french stick with all the bits apart from beans £7.00 i had it once and it takes a lot of eating needed a sleep after 4 rashers 4 sausages 4 black pudding lots of mushrooms 4 eggs 4 hash browns and fried onions brown sauce and it was lovely.

I'm the odd man in in most cases as I don't really like bacon & the smell of it cooking does nothing for me!

Oh I'm a sad basket case.

Have you had your smell receptors checked? Taste buds checked? You’re missing out on one of the great things in life…….I feel sorry for you.

Maybe a phone number for a therapist would help Ambulancekidd

Looked in my fridge earlier today trying to decide what to have. 2 thin steaks and an open pack of bacon both needed to be eaten today.
So steak, with bacon and melted cheese over the top, with a small dollop of tomato sauce. It was delicious...

One of my new favourite meals.

I’ve done that, found a couple of things that need to be used, not something you would normally put together but often turn out nice

As I am just about to put the bacon on yep.

Do not do it in Israel!

Cure your own. It is genuinely easy and you decide thick or thin cut, and how much salt or other flavours you want in it.

3 lb Pork loin (for back bacon) or pork belly (for streaky), it cures better if skin is taken off.
5 pints tepid water
2 tsp Prague powder #1
1 cup salt (1½ cup you like shop-bought saltiness. ¾ cup if salt is bad for your hypertension- most is discarded anyway)
2 tbsp brown sugar, darker the better.
2 tsp pickling spice (cloves, mustard seed, coriander)
1 tsp coarse grain mustard

You need a container that is deep enough to for the brine to cover the water

Put all the ingredients except pork in a deep enough container, that just takes the pork (need a lid)
Dissolve the salts and sugar, add water if pork is uncovered.
Put pork in and leave in a fridge for a week to 10 days. Turn every second day.
Take bacon out, discard the water, pat dry and slice. Eat, vacpac for the Motorhome, or freeze
It slices more thinly if you stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes.

I sometimes chuck in Juniper berries and a couple of green cardomom pods, but it's a bit poncy. It's only bacon after all.
