Deep fried pigs trotters for supper then! Waste not want not eh?

Re: British food in Canada
 

Something I would also like to try. Good luck.
Will you blog your progress on this?

Re: British food in Canada
 

We already buy all manner of trotters and tales and offally bits for the dog so I thought we'd probably use the whole thing, why not give it a go?

Re: British food in Canada
 

I expect so. Especially if it's a complete disaster!

Re: British food in Canada
 

Where on earth do you shop? :confused:

Back bacon is readily available virtually everywhere.

Perhaps you have a different definition of back bacon than the rest of us. ;)

Re: British food in Canada
 

Bacon like what my Mum gets from Sainsburys, that's what I want. I can't find it and I think I'm a pretty resourceful seeker out of food items.

Re: British food in Canada
 

I think the UK definition of back bacon is different to the Canadian....

UK back bacon to me is bacon that has a streaky portion attached to the round bit - for want of a better explanation....

All of the back bacon I've seen here is purely the round part....

Re: British food in Canada
 

It will probably be more salty than that which you would buy from sainsburys.

Re: British food in Canada
 

We're nervous about that but it's not as if pork bellies are a premium cut, if it doesn't work the result can go into the chickens.

Re: British food in Canada
 

The botttom pic i would call gammon ?????

Re: British food in Canada
 

Both are back bacon. :)

One has some of the streaky bacon left on the other not, and they may be cured differently.

So in a sense we are both wrong. :p

From wikipedia "In Britain, bacon made from the meat on the back of the pig is referred to as back bacon or back rashers. It usually includes a streaky bit and a lean ovoid bit, and is part of traditional full breakfast commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland. In the United States, back bacon is called Canadian-style bacon or Canadian bacon, but this term refers usually to the lean ovoid portion."

Re: British food in Canada
 

Technically Gammon is a leg cut, rather than back...
