Re: The Survivalist's guide to Bacon
The IS such a thing as good American bacon. It still has fat but it is thick cut with plenty of meat on it. Try a local smoke house or butcher shop. Bacon grease is a desirable thing anyway. It's what you fry the eggs and taters in.
We get our bacon from a local place: http://www.woodssmokedmeats.com/

Re: The Survivalist's guide to Bacon
A smokehouse is a place that sells cured and smoked meat. You were taking the so-called piss though, right?

You must really be in the sticks if there's no butcher shop! I don't know where you live so I can't help, but maybe try googling "meat processing" for your area?

Actually, I have heard of a smokehouse - but never knew what it was or seen one. Sort of assumed it was something you found in the Yukon.

Wellshire Farms Dry Rubbed Center Cut is easy to find in most supermarkets and damned good thick cut bacon. It makes typical American bacon look pathetic and sickly.
Other than that. there's usually a variety of local brands that are worth trying. As I live in the city nicknamed "hog butcher to the world", there no shortage of good bacon available in my town...

Re: The Survivalist's guide to Bacon
There is no such thing as good bacon in Canada or USA. I have not bought any of the streaky stuff in years, so just have to go without.
I have been saying for years, like Elvira, what do they do with the lean back part. We were in UK in September and enjoyed decent bacon and egg breakfasts. Can't wait until we go again and get some more.

Re: The Survivalist's guide to Bacon
Plenty of places exist to buy 'English' style bacon. If you can't find one locally then you'll have to pay to have it shipped.
Whilst I was in a small town in Texas I used to have it shipped frozen from N.C.
Here in L.A. I can buy it locally.
I, and many others, are enjoying good bacon here in the US
