And you can get a nice crunchy bacon if you microwave it with a zillion paper towels

ts not hard to get some colour into it and a bit of crisp on the fat.

More oil in the pan is the key to this. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Make sure you heat the oil up first before adding the bacon.

If you dont have enough oil in there and you try to cook it till its crispy, by the time it gets to that stage its like hardboard.

Nothing is best grilled.
Nothing is best crispy, even crisps!
All a bloody silly modern fashion
Bacon should thick, lots of it. Thick slices of slightly sticky chewy white bread, a couple of mm of butter and red sauce. Several runny fried eggs are good inside as well.

I've had food poisoning for a week eating egg and rice and bland foods and tomorrow I am going to risk an egg and bacon butty even if I have to sit on the toilet eating it.

Best bacon roll. Think "the horn"* style but with decent quality thick salty smoked bacon in a crunchy morning roll (not well fired)

And if you don't know what "the horn" is you have no place in a Bacon related conversation.

Oh and streaky bacon is for topping pies and wrapping sausages. Has no place on a roll

Anyone remember the crap bacon from when you were a kid? Inedible rind and extra boney bits!

Not overly keen on the bacon I had in Ireland when I lived there. Too thick and incredibly salty.
Scottish bacon (where I now live) is also a touch too salty but is a nice thin cut.

Good old Danish back bacon grilled until the fat is just turning crispy on a nice big floury barm. Splash of Heinz ketchup. With a industrial sized mug of sweet strong tea. Is in my opinion, perfection!

EDIT:- Not against an egg, but is a touch too messy for my liking so prefer a single egg fluffy omelette.
