[Food] What’s best for a bacon sandwich? Streaky or back?

[jackanada]

For a BLT. Good quality streaky bacon. Crisp it up, set aside and fry your bread on one side only --because you don't want to hold fried bread in your hands the virgin side will be out once assembled.
Now that's flavour.

 

[Questions]

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?

It worked perfectly

 

[Questions]

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.

That’s brave of you to admit you were wrong all of those years. Brown is superb on an English breakfast though alongside the red.

Smoked back, crusty bloomer or farmhouse (both white) with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

La Vie on some nice fresh sourdough will do me

Nice try, but of all things veggie, veggie 'bacon' is simply the pits. If you want to be veggie, then giving up bacon sandwiches is the first pre-requisite - you'll never have another one, or anything remotely like it.

Beef 'bacon' is also dire. If it ain't pork, it ain't bacon.

I had a belated epiphany.
Plus I'm air-frying my bacon these days - another revelation. I've been doing it wrong for so many years.

We’re getting an air crier Saturday morning….. I’m getting excited about it now.

Pork scratchings, smashed with a rolling pin, to manageable bits, then delicately thrown over a burnt warburtons large crumpet, topped with a large dollop or squeeze of levi roots reggae reggae sauce…

Outside of the Albion right now, my air fryer is the singlemost exciting thing in my life.

Soft white!?

No, it has to be lightly toasted Granary, a touch of English Mustard and Mayo, crisp lettuce and sliced tomato.

But I don't miss it...

That is a sandwich with bacon somewhere in it. Its not a bacon sandwich

My preference is non nitrates cured streaky.

The naked brand or Waitrose own brand.

Oooh, do Waitrose have their own line of nitrite free bacon? They seem to have stopped stocking the Naked streaky in the Lewes & Hailsham branches and the back just won't do for a decent bacon sandwich!

can't eat bread these days so no sandwiches. Incinerated streaky bacon with avocado, fried mushrooms, scrambled eggs, a couple of oatcakes and a dab of hollandaise. Don't judge me.

You obviously read the Guardian, have a beard and wear crocs, but that actually doesn't sound half bad.

What is the difference? Can you taste the nitrates or something, or are they bad for you? Genuinely never heard of this.

Not judging you.

I’m a Pisces so find that in very bad taste.

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.

Indifferent to your question. Cut the rind off the smoked bacon, and cook it for longer so it crisps up. Sourdough bread, ketchup, no butter.
