Re: British Bacon - where to get TO area
Yeah but I've some jeezly love for me salt beef, bye. Food from home, everyone wants it. The thesis isn't flawed in suggesting that the Irish like mashed stuff but in claiming that there's anything special about that. Presumably geordies crave coal or coke or whatever it is that passes for grub up there. The rest of the English want their curries and kebabs.
Oink has carefully selected a well written and thoroughly researched examination of the importance of decent bread and mashed things to the displaced, downtrodden masses. It further highlights my feelings that this supposed holy grail of bacon, known as british bacon, is in fact a bit rubbish. Even peasants from o'er yonder don't want to eat it. Bring on the peameal, I say.

Disappointing. Choice is Loblaws peameal (meh), Costco's back (meh) or Larson back. (bleh). No fancy markets here. One learns to live without decent bacon, but like the lack of Real Ale, it's a constant nagging torment.

On edit: If I may take the opportunity to tell an amusing tale to a receptive audience? My English (Geordie) brother-in-law, who used to have a holiday cottage in Normandy, would go each morning to the local butcher to get his breakfast bacon. "Tranches fines" said he. "Certainment, m'sieur" said the butcher, "Avec ceci?" "Non", said b-i-l, "Sans saucis".
