The elusive holy bacon grail

amazingemmet

Bethren,
Being a stranger to these parts I thought I might share on of my latest discoveries in the realms of fitness (yes fitness). Gentlemen I present the bacon weave

Brother's, I don't wanna freak ye out. But I have a strange stirring, In my pants!!!!

Steve

400°??? It would incinerate!
Bless those Americans, they don't even put meat in their bacon!

It does look tasty though, nom nom nom.

(If anyone wants to try it, try 200°C..)

humbert

Does look good. I'd say it's fahrenheit, which would be around 200 celsius.

<drools>

it taunting me, especailly after the recent ban, got to try that one out

Saibh

Looks very tasty, but my high cholesterol might have something to say about eating all of it.:(

orestes

Steps 6 and 7 need to be changed to suit a brother.

Step 5: Roll

Step 6: Pick up whole

Step 7: Consume while the second one is busy in the oven

trout

Nice enough snack I suppose ... needs eggs and onions.

Surely it should be battered and then deep fried?

I think that could make it the ultimate portable snack. Imagine being able to get one in a chipper late at night:eek: awesome

Overheal

The thought of eating that makes me sick. I'd do it just for a pack of rashers though. I miss them.

Thumbs down overheal....seriously.

I'm going to try this out later tonight, let you all know how it works out. Although the rashers in that look longer than our own ones, does anyone know where you might ind extra long rashers? That are a bit more meaty than those pictured?

Zaph

Never seen rashers that long, I'd say that's two overlapped in the middle. Cooking would melt the fat and probably fuse them together.

That is American bacon, you won't find that in Ireland. Barely any meat on it at all, mostly fat and always shrivels up so you are left with barely anything.

Actually, correction Brother Ruu, while they are not American, they are available over here. I went down to the local Centra only yesterday to find me some rashers, and the only ones available were similar to those in the picture above. They were in a blue vacuum package, from Spain if I a remember correctly.

Certainly reminded me of US bacon, feck all meat on them.

LostinBlanch

The only rashers I remember being able to get in Spain were Oscar Meier ones. Yank company I think. The bleedin rashers were so thin you could read the other side of the package through them. :mad:

Virtually no meat and they were feck all use. It's all a plot by the veggies IMO.

Tom Dunne

They are actually ideal when used as a constituent ingredient in something else, such as a breakfast burrito, or, as indicated in the original post.

amazingemmet

I've seen them in butchers over here alright, If you want you can just get pork belly slices and slice them thin enough.

brianthebard

Surely its just streaky bacon?

trout

yeaaaaaaaaaaah

*drools*

LolaDub

I made it with smoked back rashers, sliced them into smaller strips to make the weave and maximise on meatage, friggin delish lads!:D

Zaph

Pics?

LolaDub

It made its way into my stomach too fast to take pics! Unless you want a pic of my tum and have xray vision?

In fairness, that's really as it should be.

The old x-ray vision is on the blink at the moment so probably not much point.

LightningBolt

Straight to the Butchers in the morning to try that out, seriously. My mouth is drooling right now, I'll have to contend with Ben & Jerrys for now:rolleyes:

A friend sent me this

Eliminates the need for ham at Xmas

Looks hideous, sure it tastes great.

Zaph

Eliminates the need for a ham at Christmas? What sort of heresy is this? :mad:

It means you only have to concentrate on cutting one thing at a time

While fulfilling your RDA of Bacon

Seth Brundle

That looks more like a bacon desert - could be nice after a bacon sandwich
