2.99 for Walls bacon (so the sticker says)
Actual price - 45 dizzers.

Are you defending polyester?

I have on my yellow slim fit 100% polyester shirt today, long sleeves, brown buttons and wide collar.

I can tell you I am getting checked out a lot

I can imagine date reared pork would taste amazing. I do like a bacon wrapped fried date...

Serious. Wrap them in streaky bacon and fry them. Amazing (and I don't like dates normally)

I think anything wrapped in bacon would be good. Hell, I enjoyed mushrooms wrapped in bacon in Thailand and I hate mushrooms (tricked into eating them).

And I'd happily pay double that. I've eaten more pork products out here then I ever did back in blighty. Can't beat a bacon buttie on a Saturday morning.

Called 'Devils on Horseback' absolutely delicious.

I still think the Organic Foods and Café has fairly reasonably priced pork. Always surprises me as everything else in there costs a bomb!
