Ice cream is great, bacon is too but the two should be kept separate.

Don't forget the butter ...

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Never! :)

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Only in America could someone claim to have "improved" bacon by coating it in brown sugar before it is fried. :sick:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Ages ago I had a butcher friend cure me a whole belly to make bacon from.

Folks in the US drove a crazy amount of traffic to the post on my blog...mainly because it made this...

(You'll have to excuse the really really naff photo quality. One of the first posts I ever did and had zero expectation of using the photos I shpot on an old camera phone)

Yes, that is a 450mmx450mm bacon blanket ;-)

Re: Bacon - the thread

Re: Bacon - the thread

My Goodness-that looks amazing!

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Wow!!! :eek:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Want.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

No Official Comment, that is a work of art you posted right there.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Awww thank you!

My Fiancee and her parents find it hilarious that I cook ridiculous meat dishes and BBQ frequently - they constantly tell me I'll fit in no problem where they live. :p

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

That looks great making me feel hungry

For the Boston area folks, KO Pies and their full English...

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

There is nothing at all English about that breakfast, its a tarts breakfast on a saucer and WTF has a cheddar pie got to do with a full English?

Must be a Boston thing ...

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

:confused: ..... Everything on the plate is part of a "full English", except for the potato and cheddar pie (WTF is a potato and cheddar pie? :unsure:). Oh, and it's missing the black pudding. :(

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Admittedly, I'm sticking my neck out hugely here, but I would say it's a pie, made with potatoes and cheddar cheese.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I can accept that would probably be within the range of possible answers. :)

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Onions MUST be included and are more important than the potato-cheese and onion pie-I make it all the time for him indoors :) but not for breakfast because that would be all wrong

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Beyond that, I have no experience with it as a dish :D

Sounds like something I'd like though.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

:confused: Onions for breakfast? :blink: ..... Or onions must be included in the potato and cheese pie? :unsure:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I suppose that having onions for breakfast would lead to a very quiet day as nobody would want to get too close...

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Potato Cheddar and onion makes for a lovely Pasty. :)

Mrs. N. makes 'em for me. :)

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

But do you eat them for breakfast? :unsure:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Sure, if she would let me.

(Actually, I don't eat breakfast at all).

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

They look bloody good. A combination of cheese, potatoes, onions and pastry can't be bad though.

I would. It's not that different to eating something like a breakfast burrito, or huevos rancheros.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I don't understand this idea of designating particular food items as being only for particular times of day. Why wouldn't you just eat what you fancy, regardless of what time it was?

:confused:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I have been known to eat steak for breakfast. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/eating/steak.gif

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I would. I've had cheese, potatoes and onions in some form at breakfast time plenty of times, just not usually all together in a convenient pastry-wrapped serving.

Breakfast of bloody champions, that :nod:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I've always loved the "everything" and the "except" posts. :confused:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Most things would be ok for breakfast but I think I'd draw the line at Spaghetti, not sure why though. :unsure:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

It'd be a pain in the arse first thing in the morning.

Breakfast is much more suited to a bunch of things that can all be thrown into a frying pan; or rolled up into burrito form.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I bet spaghetti would work in both of those applications. :)

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

It probably would, but pasta is just empty carbs. That'd fill you up too quickly and leave less room for bacon and sausages. And black pudding.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

I'm with you on leaving room for bacon & sausages, but there is no need to leave room for black pudding :sick:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Replace it with an extra sausage, as required.

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Said the actress...

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

But of course, and extra bacon too :)

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

Just add one more of everything :nod:

Re: Bacon - the thread
 

It's an Aussie pie shop...about as close as a proper full English you'll get here, even with all the pubs.
