Jamaican bacon tastes a bit tinny.

I think I'd struggle to find a local butcher within 50 miles who cures their own bacon! Streaky is definitely best, but Ayrshire roll is an acceptable compromise. |

As kids we used to fight over the bacon rind cut off by my Dad. We used to have a supermarket up the road that sliced their own bacon. They did little packets of off-cuts, mainly streaky. Mum bought loads of them and we used to gorge on bacon butties after the pub. They don't make bacon like that any more. |

As someone who's not been eating meat for very long, I like my bacon in a sarnie with butter. Unsmoked back 1st choice but also like streaky and smoked. I also make bacon and tomato pancakes. Can post recipe if anyone wants it.

Ayrshire roll (from Scotland Magazine): "...The other distinctive feature of Ayrshire bacon is the rolling technique to produce ‘Ayrshire Middle,’ often just referred to as simply ‘frying-bacon for breakfast.’ This characteristic rolling means that each slice of bacon ends up with the lean back bacon surrounded by streaky bacon: a succulent round slice with just the right ratio of gleaming white fat to lean meat..." |
