Hello

I have just got back from the uk and I had



And would like to know Can we buy Bacon in Italy or does anyone know how to make it or what to ask the butcher...

Thanks

Looks a little more up market than tesco's !
The nearest I've found is thin sliced pancetta at Iper.
good luck

I get bacon at Lidl and now I can also get Tulip Bacon at Penny Market (which is sometimes called Billa)

euro spin has bacon and its called bacon on the pack
. its full of flavore and not to fat and not dear the best we have had in italy . Infact it tastes like english bacon used to

The only one I've been able to find is in a SISA supermarket, it is by Citterio and is called bacon.
Very thinly sliced, quite fatty, but acceptable since it's the only one I can find.
Not a lot of big chain supermarkets our way.
Oh, and I had that sort of breakfast in Spain recently.
ciao for now,
'o nonno

It's twenty to one in the morning and I'm now hungry after seeing this!

My mouth is watering. I'm swear there is a smell coming from the pic and I don't even like fry ups. I don't know where you can get bacon. I sometimes buy a bacon joint in Bolzano or the Polish section of the supermarket and Ikea at Xmas.

I always get the bacon from Lidl. It's called Bacon but sometimes its called Pancetta but it's the exact same thing, probably a supply problem. It's thin and gets crispy, it's not fatty.

Any leftovers from the English breakfast get put into a bacon, brie and chutney baguette the day after.

How could you possibly have leftovers?

Simply... delish

Sorry, I made it sound like a wimp who can't finish his breakfast! In fact, I finish it down to the very last baked bean. What I meant was I always fry-up a lot of bacon, most of it gets used in the breakfast and the rest for my baguette. I should add that it's mango and apple chutney from the Asda premium range (yeah I know! a premium range for a chav's supermarket! Whatever next, bidets at McDonalds??!!).

A big fat english breakfast on a Sunday morning - all that is needed are some English newspapers!!

Now the bacon is sorted....what about making hash browns..best way of making them

It's not the bacon that bothers me... I can live with the pancatta. It's the baked beans A local supermarket was selling them for around .30 cents but the stock ran out and not replaced, our 'local' Lidl is about 25 miles away and I refuse to pay 2 euros for Heinz at Achan

I followed the post re 'Bacon' from Eurospin and got some - €1.79 for 200 grams and the equivalent of streaky bacon in the UK. It's not the rashers we all perhaps yearn for but ok in a buttie!

this thread is so funny to me..there is nothing on that plate I will be missing at all!!
