Streaky, cooked crispy. White bread, one side of each slice toasted. This gives you integrity and crunch because the toasted side is facing out and then you hit the soft untoasted side mingling with bacon grease and Henderson's Relish and then the crispy crunch of the bacon. So, toast one side of each slice. Game changer.

Oh and white sliced. Everytime.

Back, non-smoked, THICK CUT (crucial). Cooked till crisp.

I was a brown saucer, but have recently converted to the red and have not regretted it.

An old friend of mine is Jewish.

I asked him if he was ever mind-fooked by the smell of a beautiful bacon sandwich, the morning after a night out, with a fuggy head and a ravenous hunger... and wether he wondered if one tasted as good as it smells.

"I can tell you, to my eternal shame, that it does taste as good as it smells. I caved in. Once." was his reply.

He assured me that God did not jump down off his cloud and strike a bolt of lightning directly at his scrotum - but once he'd properly sobered up, he may as well have done. :lolol:

There's nothing like a Bacon Sarnie - and for me, it's white bread, back bacon with the fat trimmed off, some raw onion and tomato ketchup. You can stick your brown sauce somewhere equally brown.

As Mrs Jakarta is diabetic we have gone over to wholemeal bread but I do sneak out for work and hit the roadside Butty Vans on occasion so have to agree with above. Fresh Bloomer bread rather than horrid sliced stuff and don't think it needs to be toasted, obviously all down to personal preference. Jesus I need one!

Or ? What’s wrong with both? Smoked Back for the flavour and crispy streaky for a bit of crunch, between thick slices of heavily buttered very fresh white bloomer.

Why have I never thought of that? You sir, are a genius and I thank you.

Will be doing that VERY soon.

Smoked Middle - best of both cuts.

I’m not a genius..........I wish I’d thought of it but it was more a random discovery. Had small amounts of both in the fridge and a fresh loaf......so cooked it all up. It was a revelation! I buy both now just so I can mix them [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

In the kitchen
I went in to the butcher's today and said "I'd like some bacon please." He said "Lean back?"
I said "I'd like some bacon please."
Somehow, this joke isn't working?

I went to the same butchers yesterday, and said
'I bet you £50 that you can't reach the ribeyes on the top shelf'
He said 'No, the steaks are too high'

I'm sorry, I'll get my cote (de bouef)

I was back. But I bought some streaky this weekend, for the first time in a while. And it crisped up really nicely and was a delight in the soft white bread with butter. The bacon fat was turning orange and the bacon itself was dark and almost burnt. Glorious.

I’d always suspected you were a wrong’un. The above post confirms my suspicions. Philip Warren smoked back all the way.
