Random bacon question
So I miss very little from the UK food wise, anytime I have thought of something I have looked and found it at the store and because I live in Halifax NS, Petes is always a good choice.
The thing is I haven't found any UK style bacon yet, anyone know where I can get some? I've asked a few people at the farmers market at the brewery on a Sat morn and Petes has back bacon but its just not quite right. I do love the bacon in Canada in its own right, awesome with pancakes but its not really right for a Sunday morning bacon and egg roll! Any suggestions? Or better yet emmigrated pig farmers? |

Re: Random bacon question
I saw 'English (or British) style' back bacon in Sobeys. I didn't get any but it looked the real thing.

Is it me or is Sobeys more expensive for just about everything (anything that's not in their flyer!)?

Re: Random bacon question
Cheers guys
I'm off to Soebys after work! I'll normally shop at superstore but there is one not far away. I have tried the peameal stuff from Pete's and although it was better (for a bacon and egg roll) than the rest of the bacon it still wasnt right. |

Although most stuff is a bit more at Sobeys there are exceptions. I buy frozen shrimps there. Most of the time (at least 90%?) one of the bags they sell (flyer price) is way cheaper than Superstore even if they, too, have one on offer. On the rare occasion that one of the stores doesn't have Chapmans, Farmers, Scotsburn etc ice cream for $3 or less, the Sobeys 'Compliments' brand is worth looking at. It's a decent price and they have other flavours apart from Vanilla, choc or Neapolitan which tends to be the limit of the other cheapies. So there we have it. Sobeys for 'English style' back bacon, Ice Cream or Shrimps.:) (Bacon in packs, BTW, not on the Deli counter.) |

Re: Random bacon question
I hope one of you will report on the bacon from Sobeys. That's the one thing we miss in Ontario. Right now we are in UK and I keep bacon on the fridge all the time, but come Spring I will check out Sobeys if there is a good report!
