Come on Canadian guy the bacon here is just streaky
I would kill for a proper piece of bacon, the only bacon they seem to sell here is what we use purely in recipes in the uk.. we need the proper back bacon to make bacon butties... (omg my mouth is watering at the thought) but sadly here you need a pound of that streaky crap to make a decent sarnie after you have burnt all the fat off it.
I still think our (Canada and America) bacon looks much tastier than that British stuff. And although an Aussie friend of mine vehemently disagrees, angry that we Americans have to have everything salty, sweet, etc. and not a "natural meat flavor, as the pig intended" I have to say:
the thicker the meat, the better it is I'd say, regular strip bacon is nowhere near as good as anything sliced thicker, because when burning the fat off there's less meat, so the more starting meat, the more end result.
