How many bacon butties consumed within a two week period would be considered excessive? As I'm heading to Blighty on Saturday I'd like to know...

I have a confession to make. I did not, repeat, did not even smell let alone taste a rasher of bacon during my recent trip back to the UK. That's what happens when you stay with family that are vegetarians

I think excessive is when they wheel you into the Casualty with the first heart attack, or heart burn so bad you think it's a heart attack.

So how many grams of cholesterol is there in a proper slice of bacon? That I'd love to know, so I can take in all my cholesterol for the day in the form of bacon without the heart attack.

Dunno about bacon, but how many curries are you planning on scoffing?

Mine too. Vegetarians in the family? Good Lord, where did you go wrong? Thankfully, I think it's illegal in Texas.

Thanks guys. It was tough. At one point we thought about climbing out the bedroom window and making a get away to the nearest greasy-spoon but we were on the 3rd floor and I don't do heights

Ok...another confession I guess after being away for so long I really had lost the urge to stuff myself with much of anything, is that sad or what?

The one thing I didn't miss out on though was icecream....even though I love the Texas Bluebell brand here I do admit to really enjoying a "whippy 99" again

OMG..you must be ill!!! You need to go back to the UK and reimurse yourself in the culinary delights....a decent curry, lamb keebab, fish n chips, sausage sarnies, bacon butties, walkers crisps.....(just make sure you have good health insurance for when you return!!)
