Bacon

The more important question is: streaky or back bacon?

I don't have time for such frivolities! I'm trying to picture the things in my house and which ones I can throw out!

I went to a place called Meat in Glasgow for dinner the other night which people (i.e. Craster) might be interested in. It's your usual array of tasty meat-based dishes as the name would suggest, but their seriousness about meat extends even to the cocktail menu with such things as the 'meatojito' (pork-rib infused rum with mint, brown sugar, apple juice and a caramelised pork-rib garnish) and various bacon related drinks. Annoyingly their online menu only covers the food so I can't find the full list anywhere. I did turn up a picture of one though which I need to link to as it's too big to embed apparently:

Here's a partial pic of the menu I managed to find:

Oh hello! There's a chain of bars down here we spend a fair bit of time in that does a bacon bourbon sour that's very close to that Suckling Sour.

To my eternal shame I didn't actually bother trying one of them (we were only in for a quick burger before the Mogwai gig) but I definitely fancy it. They do actually do a single type of veggie burger so I might be able to convince Mrs B to go in with me sometime and I can give one of them a shot. That's unless the single veggie option conflicts with her recent to desire to go full on sodding vegan. :roll:

mrs Wookie was not impressed with those and declined to make them. I am sad now.

this may appeal to some (Craster). Got an email from the Hawksmoor yesterday, their third burger is now (marketing spiel incoming):

From Monday 10th March there'll be a new Third Burger at Seven Dials – the Five Pork Burger. Working on the assumption that more is always better, we've topped a Tamworth pork patty with sausage meat stuffing and a couple of slices of smoked bacon. On the side there's sausage gravy for French-dipping and a couple of extra-long pork scratchings. To balance it all out we snuck in some Spring Greens which brings a little Sunday Roast into the mix and a dollop of homemade apple ketchup.

Found this in Tesco the other day.

What're you doing on Monday, Cras?

Sadly I can't commit to anything for certain until after my wife sees the doctor. But it sounds like a trip is required.

Though it's the Hawksmoor, so I'll probably cave and get a steak anyway.

Pay attention to the use-within on the bacon jam.

Definitely don't open it and leave it in the fridge for a couple of months before thinking "hm, this bacon butty needs more bacon".

it may have benefited the flavour, but it didnt benefit my bowels.

I'm not sure anything made by a company called Eat 17 would benefit my bowels. Let it rain.

Saw this, assumed it was a joke ad and was a little disappointed...

Not yet, expect a report when I do.

Surprisingly nice, not quite $7 a bar nice, but nice.

Highlights so far include snapping a bit off, but it not fully detaching from the main bar as it's attached by bacon.

We stayed in a B&B a while back that made it's own bacon. Pigs lived in a field out back, and they had their own smokehouse. It was good.

So they didn’t live in a sty, like most pigs. How very modern.

I can’t really eat bacon any more. I like it, but a couple of hour later, it doesn’t like me.
