Depends how it's smoked. Supermarket 'smoked' bacon is often just a smoke flavour mixed in with the brine in which the bacon is cured. Proper smoked bacon - where the bacon is dry-cured and smoked over wood - tastes very different.

Well they do say the Devil has all the best music, obviously he has all the best food as well.

 

Smoked or nuthin'!

 

 

(not true. I will eat any bacon, but smoked is best)

If it's any help ThinkGeek (ThinkGeek :: Stuff for Smart Masses) has bacon everything - croutons, popcorn, salt, soap, jellybeans. They do a bacon-patterned wallet. They like bacon more than you.

Get yourself on a low carb diet, can eat as much bacon as you want

Mind you, after being on low carb since September, bacon has actually lost it's appeal...

Roast pork with crackling ??

Welcome - fordmillfarm.co.uk

 

is my housemates family farm... the bacon you can get from them bears absolutely no relation to anything you can get from a supermarket...

 

Yummy!

Smoked Bacon - super crispy, warm, crusty roll, melty butter and a touch of ketchup.... Mmmm so good. I am partial to Bavarian Smoked ham too... So. much. tasty.

Not too keen on low carb diets, prefer the traditional eat less and better food, excersice more. It's hard but worth it when you look in the mirror after a couple of months

So most people like it then? Must just be me, however I don';t think I've ever really had amazing quality smoky. My pick up a rasher or two next time I'm near the butchers.

Ack Blood Pudding :-( Le Boyfriend would love this but I'm not a massive pig fan. I like Smoked Bacon and Smoked Ham and thats about it. Roast Pork itself if revolting (the cracking not so much) and I've hated Pork Chops for years. Just the smell of Gammon makes me ill and I can't even look at a Carbonara without retching (although to be fair, this is entirely the fault of the horrific French hostel we once stayed in). Sausages have to be cumberland and minimum 80% meat content or I won't eat those either. Even the bacon has to be blackened to the point where it snaps - The boyfriend suffers me deliberately overcooking the bacon with impressive stoicism.
