For real. WTF is with that burnt stuff above? That's how it's done, chewy with a bit of a crunch on the ends.
Anything with nitrites, unfortunately. :(
I can confirm that US ham is not at all what we call Bacon. Ham is something else.
We have both in the UK, but I don't think the US has.
It looks like ham

Depends what you prefer.
Back bacon should just be called 'Backon'. Done.ITT - people who don't know what ham is and don't know what bacon is

Both are good and have their place. UK style works well when it's the primary component of what you're eating (like eggs Benedict), US style when it's just there to give some taste (like in a hamburger).
