Make your own, it's a thing of joy


The River Cottage (smoking and curing) book has a simple fridge method


I'm so smitten, im buying a proper slicer an' all that



I've also got a Bacon Cookbook, which tells you how to make 'Buffins' (bacon muffins)


Fekkin joy of joy

I'm ordering one, feel free to ask to borrow in future


(my impulse buying is getting slightly out of hand, yesterday I ordered a Deep Fried Tukey making thing from the U.S.A)

Otherwise known as one of America's favourite ways to set fire to your house, garden and probably yourself.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say I am thoroughly sick of bacon.


It doesn't cure (ha) everything.

I don't like it in: a bloody mary, a burger, macaroni cheese, cheese on toast, anything with kale.


Much as I enjoy reading fabulous food blogger, Niamh Shields of Eat Like a Girl fame, I switched off during Project Bacon. Bacon jam was the buzzword on twitter a few years ago, drove me nuts.


Cup of Assam or strong builders and a good bacon sandwich has its place though. I miss Homemade on Barry Road for that.


PS: Don't start me on bastard "candied bacon" either. *grumps off*

You deffo need 'Buffins'


But then 'Buffins' are the future


Unlike BitCoins

Numbers, I'm with you on bacon in burgers.


And bacon in Bloody Marys? What sort of total cunt has bacon in a bloody Mary?


Personally a bloody mary would make me hurl anyway, but if I saw someone having one with bacon I really would want to go all Goodfallas on them and start bashing their head against the bar.

OK, avocados, tomatoes and corn, I grant you. And peppers and strawberries, yes. And maybe vanilla. But what else has America ever done for us food-wise?

Not the turkey! At least it's just once a year.
