Bacon
August 13th, 2007
There’s something special and unique about bacon. It is the salty, slightly chewy, potentially crispy path to heaven. It is the most divine and sought-after of the meats. It is the reason that god made pigs and knives compatible with each other.
This is an ode to bacon. This post is a tribute. A moment of quiet thought in reverence to the finest meat product the world knows.
Ahhh, bacon! Please feel free to share your bacon stories here.

Calm down dear, it’s just a posting!
I think bacon is one of those meats that you can have at any time. In the morning, a slither in the afternoon, or a full frontal on your plate in the evening. I enjoy eating bacon as much as I do thinking about it and I’m glad Marshall brought it all to our attention.
Never Neglect Bacon!

Truly bacon is a meat for all meals – breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, midnight snack or breakfast again. My favourite is a tasty fry-up of fried chewy bacon, grilled crispy bacon, fried crispy bacon, grilled chewy bacon, and a side salad of bacon bits.

How does the group feel about gammon? Personally I find it rather yummy for a sunday roast.

I LOVE GAMMON!
Obviously it can’t compare with bacon but on the whole really it’s just a huge, rounder piece of it. I love it with egg and pineapple. I feel really hungry now and nowhere around here does anything bacon-related. I think Greggs might have the sandwich of bacon but… it’s too far away 🙁

If bacon is King of Meats, then gammon is the Prince, with a crown of pineapple ring.
I like it with egg or pineapple but having both with it at the same time is a bit much. I’m simple, me… but happy.

I like that comparisson, it’s making images in my head. What are these images? What do they mean? If I thought hard enough I could… ah ah, that’s what they are 😀

Unlike Kev though, I don’t regard gammon as a Sunday roast meat. To me it is a relaxing weekday evening where you have enough time after work to make something a bit special.
Gammon ham with egg or pineapple… boiled potatoes swimming in melted butter… vegetables of choice… sprig of parsley… oh yeah baby.
I need to buy some gammon and some bacon now.

There’s never a travelling man
With a bag o’ ham and gammon
Called Sam
Is there?
I’ll have to do without
Because I’ve got none knocking about.

Brings a tear to my eye, Ian… oh my.

The good thing about gammon is its different guises, true if you are enjoying a tasty tasty gammon steak it’s best any night of the week (with a fried egg in my opinion) with some chips. BUT, and its a big BUT my friends, if you have in your fridge a juicy gammon joint, I can wholly reccommend you roast that baby up for a sunday dinner!

I like bacon, grilled, not fryed.

I went to Morrisons last night and just stood gaping at the bacon section in all its delight and splendour. Those are the kinds of moments that you live for.
