Pancake Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 The perfect bacon sandwich: 4 rashers back unsmoked bacon, cooked as you wish 2 sliced (thick) brown bread cut from laof (not pre-sliced) 1 slice lightly buttered 1 slice light coating of BBQ sauce Pepper (black, freshly ground) to taste. Yours?
Scudamore Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Cooked as you wish my arse.... There's a world of difference between fried and grilled...
bridge too far Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Cooked as you wish my arse.... There's a world of difference between fried and grilled... But it has to be crisp, right?
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 It has to contain an egg with a runny yolk for it to be the perfect bacon sarnie
JohnnyFartPants Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Smoked bacon is the bacon of champions. Bought from a local butchers and freshly sliced before your eyes. Cooked in a frying pan that has been allowed to get really hot with no oil in. The bread should be fresh crusty white bread with real butter and brown sauce on the bacon.
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Is it wrong to like red and brown sauce in the same butty?

Scudamore Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 But it has to be crisp, right? Well of course...i think the grill dries it out too much though and gives a funny taste...
scott_saints Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 I'm afraid to break this to you on a innernet forum, but as I consider all of you my family you deserve to know..... Bacon is overrated.
Penfold Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Is it wrong to like red and brown sauce in the same butty? Yes. You should throw yourself off the white cliffs of Dover. Naked of course.

Pancake Posted 9 October, 2008 Author Posted 9 October, 2008 Cooked as you wish my arse.... There's a world of difference between fried and grilled... Svelte peeps like me like to grill. Fatties like you may well choose to fry, tubs.
Scudamore Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 But haggis isn't really comparable to bacon...like comparing a sausage sandwich with a hot pot...

I seem to recall that 2-3 years ago we conducted a proper scientific study which proved that smoked bacon was by far the superior bacon, and unsmoked bacon was for people who didn't actually like bacon.
Hatch Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 The perfect bacon sandwich is one that is cooked by someone else while you are still in bed.

Scudamore Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Svelte peeps like me like to grill. Fatties like you may well choose to fry, tubs. Well you're cheating your taste buds... I prefer to eat a decent bacon sarnie less frequently... That is how i keep this slim...and you know that i am slim too you cheeky get...

Boooo! I like the taste of unsmoked, its got a more natural flavour to it, meaning you can taste the meat and not the salty/smoked bit.

Julian H. Cope Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Only w*****s grill their bacon.I suspect they also wear socks with sandals.

Indeed we did but times do change, as your recent posts about politics show us. It would be wrong to be sweeping with modern statements about bacon when no recent polls have been conducted.
TopGun Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 A bacon butty requires cheese and English mustard also.
Hatch Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Grilled and unsmoked. There. You have it. The definitive answer, girls and boys.
Jillyanne Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 My other half and his son cut off the bacon rind and bin it, thats the best part imho, crispy of course.
bungle Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Indeed we did but times do change, as your recent posts about politics show us. It would be wrong to be sweeping with modern statements about bacon when no recent polls have been conducted. How often must studies be conducted to keep them 'up-to-date' and 'in touch'? Would it be acceptable, say, to conduct a 4-yearly study into the smoked/unsmoked bacon debate, or should it really be biannually to stay relevant?
Pancake Posted 9 October, 2008 Author Posted 9 October, 2008 Only w*****s grill their bacon.I suspect they also wear socks with sandals. Have you been looking through my kitchen window again? If so, sorry about last night, will try to look better tonight...

The debate on smoked-unsmoked bacon never needs to be discussed in and around sexual debates concerning sex with men or women in their bottoms. I hope I have been clear on this point?

dubai_phil Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 We get bacon here, which is good. A packet of Iceland Super Value that costs 99p in UK costs 6 quid here. Proper stuff is more expensive than good steak! What we can get is forzen American hand carved bacon at a sensible price. It's sort of almost like Streaky, but REALLY tasty. In the pan it shrinks out all the water and becomes the perfect crisp (smoked) bacon. Under the grill it stays larger is more tasty but doesn't crisp just burns. The other problem here is that every 3 months or so we run out of HP Sauce (the ONLY brown sauce sold here) that means us sarnie freaks HAVE to keep about 4 bottles in stock at anyone time. Tried one with Chilli Tomato Sauce once - not as good as HP but it WAS good
Julian H. Cope Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Have you been looking through my kitchen window again? If so, sorry about last night, will try to look better tonight... Also may I suggest you wear an apron.Naked apart from socks and sandals is not a good look.Oh & shave your bum.
Scudamore Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Have you been looking through my kitchen window again? If so, sorry about last night, will try to look better tonight... Less tubby and spotty you mean?
bungle Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Ever been to the Dorset Smokery up at Hurn? I have not. I feel I should research this location.
Pancake Posted 9 October, 2008 Author Posted 9 October, 2008 Also may I suggest you wear an apron.Naked apart from socks and sandals is not a good look.Oh & shave your bum. I was wearing an apron though.... Less tubby and spotty you mean? Thats the one...

JohnnyFartPants Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 ?! I can't spot the typographical error that prompted this bizarre response. Merely a play on words with biannual. I found myself very funny.
Pancake Posted 9 October, 2008 Author Posted 9 October, 2008 Merely a play on words with biannual. I found myself very funny. I lolled to be honest.
Hatch Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Bacon Bra. Odd. Mutton dressed as lamb. or something.
bungle Posted 9 October, 2008 Posted 9 October, 2008 Merely a play on words with biannual. I found myself very funny. I see. I assumed it had something to do with that word, but seeing as I spelt it correctly and used it in context I wondered what all the fuss was about.
