Bacon
- Thread starter D65
- Start date
Growing up in the UK, honey glazed was what we always had at home. Brilliant it was.
ITT - people who don't know what ham is and don't know what bacon is
Back bacon appears to be the standard bacon in Aus. I really like it, haven't seen much streaky bacon around outside of international media.
If it didn't want me to eat it, it shouldn't have been filled with bacon.
No you don't.
The one of the right is what Swedes call bacon. In the UK it is known as "streaky bacon". The one on the left is called "Kotlett Bacon". Tulip's version of it literally called it "the English Classic" on the packet:
I was referring to the top image, so I think we agree. :)
I've never heard it called "kotlettbacon" though, we just called that kind "fläsk".
Thread redeemed.

I mastered that recipe. It's crack.
Just read the wikipedia article.
If you like belly bacon, you should try "Wammerl". That's what we bbq in Bavaria. It's basically thick bacon strips and you bbq them until they're almost burnt and super crispy. My go-to thing in the summer.

The word bacon now sounds weird and has become meaningless to me after reading through this thread.
I've only ever seen it in shops as kotlettbacon. Then again, I've only ever seen Brits buy the stuff.
Maybe they aren't actually the same thing, not entirely sure. I always hated both kinds (still do), so I never paid that much attention.
Ham comes from a different part of the pig. Specifically the hind quarters.

Yep. That said, thick bacon from the deli section of a grocery store is infinitely superior to pre-packaged. A lot closer to the Australian one posted above.
He needs to stop being so damn tasty.but Y u want to eat me era?
Classic victim blaming, it can't help that it's outrageously scrumptious.
I gotta try some thick bacon. I've always thought about it, but for some reason, never have.
step ur game up
Honestly that doesn't look that appetizing to me in comparison to the quoted gif.

He looks happy and tasty.
I love baby pigs.
oooh it's so good. it nails that sweet/savory hybrid.
can confirm that if you order "bacon" in Canada you get the American kind. then we go to the US and sometimes see options for "Canadian Bacon" and it's a bit confusing for a sec.
then why not eat dis
Because throughout humanity's history and evolution we've become companion species to doggies, leading us to treat them differently. That's why they're so cute and friendly! because we killed the ugly mean ones.

Doesn't look tasty, and we bred that thing to be cute. And we don't usually eat meat eaters.
Anyway, bacon.
Or also simply called pork belly. But that's only tasty grilled, during warm days.
Usually do it like BLEEN posted, asian style soused and slowly baked.
I've never had British bacon, but if someone just handed me a piece of it and didn't tell me which part of the pig it came from, I would think it looked like a piece of ham. That is obviously not the case, but I understand why people in this thread would say so.
I love American bacon, but even that was somewhat ruined for me a couple months ago. I moved into a new house around the corner from a fancy butcher shop that sells jowl bacon. OH MY FUCKING LIFE. It's so good. I wish I could send a package to everyone here who wants one so that we could put this debate about which is better to rest. Because the jowl bacon would win.
I need a recipe for this RIGHT NOW.
This looks super fake. Where's all the grease?!

Hell yeah! And pork belly is dirt-fookin' cheap. There's a bunch of amazing recipes that can be made with pork belly. My fav. going to (besides bacon):

Don't knock it until you try it. Korean style pork belly is incredible.
Also, I'm American, but I love both bacons. I've started smoking whole slab cuts of bacon recently and it's incredible.
I've never had it, and believe me, I'd love to try it. Just saying it that gif didn't look as good as the crackling bacon strips
No problem.
It should come out incredibly tender and glistening when it's all done. Like each layer of pork/fat/skin should almost be falling off tender. If it's not, either boil longer at the beginning or simmer longer at the end. (Add more water if you have to.)
The soy sauces adds a really full-bodied flavor. Incredible really. But you can use just any soy sauce, honestly. I've done it with the Chinese restaurant packets and I really can't complain.
Edit* Oh and you obviously don't need to use a wok lol I just use a large skillet or like a chili/soup pot.
There's also this method. Pretty similar but baked for a bit longer @350 and you'll get a bit of crispiness this way too. Good call, Ginta , though I've never tried soused pork. Can you send me a link to that method?
LOL I'm done.
(For now)

Omfg if only I had access to a plate a bacon right now. I'm reading this thread while eating a boring bowl of cereal. Fml
You're a prince, thank you very much! I have a wok and I LOVE cooking with it, but I don't have a lid for it for the simmering portion of this recipe. Might be time to order one. Bonus: there's nothing in that ingredient list that I don't already have in my freezer or pantry, so I might give it a go this weekend.
