You can't beat a bacon butty...

Special treat for lunch today. Defrosted the last three slices of decent back bacon I'd smuggled into Italy last November. (Finished the gammon a while back -they don't know what they are missing here using all their pigs to make salami and prosciutto!)

Fried up the bacon (non of that healthy grilling) and layered it up on some nutty cereal bread which was spread thickly with Lurpak salted butter. A real feast, washed it down with a large mug of English breakfast tea(Twinings).

Yesterday I heard on Sky news that 2 rashers of bacon a day gives you a 20% higher chance of getting something or other...what the hell, you can't beat a decent bacon butty.

Sausage butties, chip butties and another secret favourite of mine, fish fingers with ketchup, aren't bad either (butter is not an optional it is a necessity on a good butty)...what's your favourite?

Ignore the sensationalist media - if you believe everything they say, even breathing can cause development of terminal illnesses. Can't beat a good bacon butty. No sauce on mine - you can't improve on perfection.

Careful smuggling food in suitcases though. Not sure what Italy is like, but other countries give quite heavy fines for minor foodstuffs.

I take no notice of these studies.......after all, you have to die of something.
They talk about processed meat being a trigger for pancreatic cancer....yet there are only 8000 people per year who are diagnosed with this form of cancer.....surely with all the people who eat processed meat it would be more, if this study is to be believed.

Anyway, for me it has to be bacon....streaky, the fattier the better, crisped up and put onto soft white bread...or an oven bottom with a mug of hot strong tea(leaves....not bags)...that is my idea of heaven. I often muse(while eating my bacon butty) if her Maj gets to eat such delicacies.

Streaky bacon very crispy with white bread even better when cold for lunch - it was one of my grandma's picnic items when we were off to see my auntie in Suffolk and takes me back to the 1950's - delicious!

You are right of course - but decent bacon is worth the risk. I always take it vacuum packed after mum was onced stopped by the sniffer dogs in Milan -they didn't make her open her bag as she didn't look like a typical drug smuggler -but it did scare her and she was carrying some bacon and english sausages for me!

Did the full English last week-end (including the Black puddin' Cashy) as we had friends over who'd stayed the night & today it was just Sossy & eggs on toast, can't kick the arse out of it every week.

I remeber those cold bacon sandwiches ... used to take a bunch when I went train spotting. Sitting on an embankment, waiting for the Midday Scot, and eating the cold bacon butties ... cold sausage was good too. And I was an HP sauce kinda kid. Had to be a splash of it on the meat. Although I understand the position of the purists.
