It seems a shame that, in a world where hard working (hah) English people are trapped in a foreign, baconless land, that someone would just treat bacon in such a cavalier fashion.

There are people here that are just wasting away, wishing that they had that bacon right now.

WASTING I TELL YOU.

I think I can see my feet.

I am never cavalier about bacon! I paid my dues in that baconless land. Now I stand and look at it for hours in Sainsbury's, picking up different packages thinking "Shall I have this one. Or this one. Or maybe both." This is usually right before I head to the bakery counter for freshly baked bread so I can make my sarnie. While I'm there, I have to make another decision - iced bun or something with cream inside.

I lived in Denmark for the last four years, the land of bacon. More pigs in the country than people, or so I heard. (although some of the people counted for both. )

One thing was it was tricky to get back bacon (or English stlye as it was labelled) regularly in the supermarket. All of the good stuff was exported to England.

That's uncannily similar to NC, for all the above reasons!

Eastern NC is "hog central", each roughly as big as a person, with all that entails! And the method of disposing of the "effluent" resulting from pig farming in NC is to collect it in open cess pools, until it is ..... Oh, sorry, no, "collecting it in open cess pools" IS the disposal plan! Presumably this plan was thought up by someone from the nuclear power industry?

They should ship it off to DC. Nobody would notice a pile of extra shit lying around up there ...

It's a cheap filler, along with massive button mushrooms....another well known Chinese staple

Ah, but every savory dish is better with mushrooms! The same is not true of broccoli.

No....they might be better with some mushrooms, but not button mushrooms. Those things are minging lumps of space filler. Plus I'm allergic to them, weirdly, just them, I can eat shiitake and the like fine.
