    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.

    I use both actually (not at the same time like Bacorashern)

    S'called bacon up north where I was born and rashers in Cork where I've lived since about 12/13 yrs old.

    Same here, I'm from the north and my fella calls it rashers so i call it bacons.

    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"


    It depends what you buy!

    Bacon is better with cabbage & spuds though as it's usually cured and salted & adds a better flavour to the meal.

    A bacon butty or a rasher sandwich both sound as equally delightful to me
