This morning EGD and myself were getting ready to brave the grey damp weather to watch YGD compete in a (not very) local show. She was competing in the Dressage and Jumping. We thought we ought to have a little something inside us to keep us warm and decided on egg on toast until we remembered THE BACON. Only a day early, so off I trotted to the outhouse to bring the joint in.
We discussed how to have it and decided that simple was best so we had it fried and in a sandwich.
Here is the joint after a few slices cut off
Thank you Cro for the recipe and the method, we will be doing it again most definitely.
Back soon

Nothing better than a Proper bacon sandwich, seems years since we had pigs and proper bacon. I'm going to copy the recipe for the future - just in case.
ReplyDeleteI reckon it would be worth buying a piece of belly pork from the butcher and having a go! (To keep your hand in as it were)
DeleteSecond what Sue said proper bacon nothing beats it :-)
ReplyDeleteYou make your own too don't you?
DeleteWould this work with bacon that has been frozen? We rear our own meat and have found the belly pork to greasy to eat these days so several flanks are in the freezer. I usually mince it and use as sausage meat.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking this too. Unfortunately we cut all our belly pork into thick "chops" (we prefer it to loin chops). I think it is deffo worth a shot. Defrost, pat as dry as you can and then start the process. You have nothing to lose. let me know how you do.
DeleteI shall post the recipe for the solution
DeleteI'm salivating at the thought of it. my eldest daughter says she'll willingly become a vegetarian as long as she can have a bacon sandwich once a month 😁
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me that bacon breaks more vegetarians than any other meat. I'm not surprised!
DeleteProper bacon! My mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteIt really was good Kev. I bet you will be having a go soon. It is your sort of thing.
DeleteReal bacon and no white gunge, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI love a BLT a few times a year. Love Love Love Bacon !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Good, I'm glad it came out OK. I remember when I did my second lot, I altered a few things, then wrote down the definitive recipe which I've used since. Once you get it 100% right for your own taste, there's no stopping.
ReplyDeleteOh my! That looks delish!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do this - thank you for sharing. Look forward to the post on the solution x
