Bacon and how do do it.

I like my bacon how I like my women.

I like chewy bacon on BLTs.
Otherwise it gives me heartburn. Most cured and processed meats disagree with me...

You can get uncured bacon, although it's harder to find. You may have problems with the preservatives.

I'm on a carb-restricted paleo diet, so I get lots of bacon, and I love it. I'm getting better at cooking it so that my housemate will eat it--he doesn't like it rock-solid the way I sometimes do. I like to make bacon then saute some mushrooms in the fat and make omelets for breakfast/lunch. (We eat larger meals at wider intervals than most people.) It's good stuff and will keep you happily non-hungry for HOURS without making you feel bloated and stuffed.

I noticed that watching epic meal time. What is it with yanks and crap bacon?

Honest to god I have no idea.
My girlfriend came to England to visit and one morning I gave her a good old fashioned bacon and egg sandwich.
Now she bawls whenever I mention bacon and the fact that she can only get belly cuts (aka streaky) in the USA.
I spent 3 months there recently, breakfast just wasn't the same.

We even took up Bacon quest; to find purveyors of back bacon but nobody sold it. Butchers were even confused when we asked for back bacon.
"You mean the offcuts from the meat?" That was a legitimate answer one such butcher gave us.

I'm pretty sure that type of bacon is known as "Canadian bacon" in the USA. Try asking for that next time.

Yes, "Canadian bacon". Which, while good, is not at all the same as the regular bacon we eat in the U.S. You can also try "capocolla ham" which is very similar, but a bit spicier I believe.
