No "real American bacon" in the UK. Just stuff that for all intents and purposes, is Canadian bacon (fried ham). They do sell some packaged "strips." Throw them in the frying pan and.......and.......no fucking bacon fat! No grease. They taste like bacon flavored cardboard.

I'm at my wit's end.

 

What's the difference between American bacon and UK bacon ??? is it thicker ??

^^^and no that wasn't the start of a joke

 

That's because that crispy strip thing that is so brittle and tasteless and served to decorate eggs in the US isn't real bacon. Simple

 

Oh, what a piece of work is a bacon
How noble in greasiness, how infinite in flavor
in form and moving how crispy and delectable
in action, how like a breakfast, in apprehension, how like a meal!

What passes for American bacon in the UK (looks like American bacon but isn't - trust me)

Yeah, Brit bacon is much more ham like. Still good but not American bacon.

 

Even I wouldn't cook that UK bacon in the pic, it looks yuck. I get mine from a local farm and it's thick and juicy and doesn't shrink when cooked. And it exudes loads of fat when cooked. Oh god now i'm imagining bacon butties but I can't eat them .

 

I think I like the Brit bacon better compared to the American bacon. The American bacon looks more like the waste product that belongs in a pot of beans or pea soup for flavoring, no meat!

 

That all looks disgusting

 

Someone save me. The hubs just discovered Gangnam style.

 

I've been on an 80's new wave kick lately. For the record, Lordeden refuses to wear eyeliner for me.

 

So apparently adolescent gushing over 40-50 year old photographs of Bob Dylan is a hot thing on tumblr these days.
It's kind of creepy.

Oh, and the cold. Turned out to be a flu. And it totally kicked my ass.
I missed a day of work.
I missed Oktoberfest (there's another one later in the month).
Spent a lot of time in bed and watched the entire Season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Back to work today. Still congested and coughing as I work the last of the dreck out of my system, but not contagious.
Ugh.

 

Leaving for talladega super speedway. Whoo hoo.

 

DID YOU SEE THAT?? SOMEONE POSTED BACON UP THERE!! ^^ *squee!*
And some pork slices.

 

made $100 playing bass for a buddy.........took that big bad bill right on over to the tatty dood........down freakin' payment baby.

Nov.5th.........can't wait.
