    It depends what you mean. Bacon is a cut of meat from a pig & rashers are slices of bacon.

    So if you mean the slices that you fry or grill, then it's rashers. Rashers are of course still bacon, but rashers would be the correct name for them.

    Ham is not the same as bacon as ham refers to a meat cut from the pigs hind leg.

    Okay cool, so what you have for dinner is it actually ham or is it bacon?

    Cause you know the way dinner is said as "cabbage, bacon and spuds"

    I had to log in just to post my thoughts on what is to me, a very important subject. Bacon is, in my opinion, most definitely called bacon.

    Rashers are slices of the joint and used in breakfast in a traditional Irish brekkie.

    Bacon is the joint used in dinner with mashed potato and cabbage as part of a traditional Irish dinner.

    Both delish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 764 ✭✭✭floutingmaxims


    Of course it's rashers. You can't have a brimful of bacon on the 45 :confused:
