The Bacon Thread (with extra puns)

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Or - the All-Day Breakfast Thread - when you've got that cured pork hankering.
Can't think why we haven't had a dedicated thread before (possibly because all threads are likely to be bacon-related at any given time).

For anything and everything to do with bacon. Tell us your favourite cut/serving method/bizarre combination. Bananas, Tim?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Yes, Tim IS bananas!

We need a bacon picture.

[Kath]

Maybe we haven't had one before because it's a book group?

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Tell us about your favourite book featuring bacon

Up early. Dropped wifes car for service. Went directly for breakfast to local cafe - bacon and sausage. 3 of each. With brown sauce.

I was thinking of that one, but I couldn't remember the title.

All books feature bacon eventually, especially when I run out of plates . . .

And bacon makes a better bookmark than a banana does.

[Jane]

What's bizarre about bacon and bananas. Have you never wrapped a (peeled) banana in smoked streaky bacon and then baked it?

The result is to,die for

[David]

Baconic!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Wait until Patti see that, Jane!

[Patti (baconater)]

I approve of this thread.

I love how my sister cooks bacon. It takes her forever, but every rasher is perfectly straight and perfectly cooked.

She'll be making us breakfast in a bit!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Tell her to make some extra and leave it here for us :)

Well, at least I can eat about half of that. I wouldn't starve.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

We do have other food as well :) We certainly wouldn't want you to starve!

[eastwood (do you feel lucky punk,well do ya)]

Why does bacon in the Algarve taste shit ?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Dunno, never had it there. But I wonder is it worse than the substitute bacon we had in Dubai.

[eastwood (do you feel lucky punk,well do ya)]

Sub standard bacon, that should be a crime.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

It should, Eastwood, it really should.

Baked beans have no place on a breakfast plate. Discuss.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I never have baked beans in my fry-up. They are wet and sloppy and destroy the taste of the other ingredients. I'm not too keen on the tomatoes either.

[eastwood (do you feel lucky punk,well do ya)]

Don't mind beans but mushrooms yuk.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Ok, you have my beans and I'll have your mushrooms.

[Tim]

Depends. Baked beans can be used to combat hash browns, but should never share a plate with bubble & squeak. Mushrooms are always good, as are tomatoes (tom-are-toes). Sausages... hard to beat a good cumberland or lincolnshire, but there are some distinctly substandard "tube-things" out there. Add black pudding to taste.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

[eastwood (do you feel lucky punk,well do ya)]

That's a heart attack on a plate.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Enough for about 4 people!

[eastwood (do you feel lucky punk,well do ya)]

Mushrooms are making me sick.

Baconic.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

My perfect breakfast fry up - bacon (middle - cos you get the back and the streaky), fried egg, tomatoes, potato scone. Not bothered about the sausage actually - unless we go the Full Scottish and add on Lorne sausage and a haggis slice. mmmmm

Baconsternation...

[Tim]

Far too many hash browns, and where's the fried bread?

[Tim]

Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Enough for about 4 people!"

Except for the bacon - they appear to be a bit stingy!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Bac-up!

[David]

Baconjugation!

Don't worry. That would take quite a while, during which I would be searching for more bacon.

Alas, I have plenty of reserves.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Me too, me too...sigh...

Just baked bacon muffins. Yummy.

Drain the beans of most of their sauce - and then fry them!

Are you going to put the bacon muffin recipe in the recipe thread, Jane?

[Elizabeth]

Um, you have found a way of creating bacon-flavoured muffins that you then fill with bacon?

OH! Not had Lorne sausage in almost 30 years!! Must see if anywhere in the island sells it.
