Bacon is a complete waste of time and very unhealthy- just because it smells and tastes lovely does NOT mean you should eat it....

As per usual you paint the world in your day-glo colours and assume everything is the same.

Like all meat products - indeed like all food products - anything rammed with chemicals and additives will be appalling for you, and most bacon sold in the U.K. is pretty bad and certainly should not be eaten.

Proper bacon is nothing more than pork cured with salt and possibly some whole spices, maybe maple or treacle if you’re trying to be fancy. Nothing else. It’s like any decent form of charcuterie, and pretty easy to find.

Educate yourself mate.

No butter. Honestly, where were people brought up. Or toast. No, fried in the runny bacon fat till the bread is slightly crisp.

Don't need it- I've got a fridge!

And thus you prove my point by totally misunderstanding it.
Seriously, you were a teacher? Wow...

The fact that bacon is a cured product does not render it immune to the necessity of temperature control.

Not sure what being a teacher is (or was a teacher) in concern to bacon sandwiches Joeleg?

Noooo! That's heartbreaking news. It's my favourite of all the coffee shops around. And the coconut toast is to good for words.

Last chance for a Kevin Bacon - small white elephant closes today.

Had a bacon sandwich at Franklin's yesterday.

Massive and absolutely delicious

I do like a bit of bacon around my sausage.

Bleaugh, now I am longing for bacon sandwich, now I have to get dressed and go and buy bacon. Thank you very much east Dulwich forum, I was enjoying a pajamas day!!!

Harri's kitchen near the library do a very nice and reasonable bacon sandwich on crusty rolls.

Uncle you obviously live a joyless life (Copyright Daily Mail 2019).
