(OK, maybe a well-cooked piece would have a little less fat since some of it would have dripped into the pan. Then again, the bacon continues to *soak* in that fat. I like mine very crisp, which seems pretty uncommon to me. In most restaurants, if I forget to specify CRISP, they serve me their default, which is usually a soft, flabby blob. What, no carbon?

(Which would of course make left-over bacon unappealingly fat.) If that's the case (count me firmly on the US side over that) it's probably a post-WW2 development. I prefer mine semi-flexible. It should 'stand up', but only partly. I like mine crispy but not burnt. This is a fine line that requires the cook be paying close attention, because it doesn't take much overcooking to move it from the crispy category to the burnt category. Given my high cholesterol readings, bacon is a treat that I can't eat very often. |

It wasb't particularly good bacon and would have turned out greasy- I have a sneaking feeling USA bacon and British are not be quite the same thing.Omelettes are sadly off the menu until I can work out how to do in the halogen (Our kitchen is so small that the only place I can set the oven up where it in't under a cupboard which wouldn't leave me room to take the lid off safely is on the top of the main oven so I don't have access to the rings right now before I do some serious rearranging of the kitchen) and anyway I don't like bacon in an omelette as it would go crispy and crunchy and I don't like bacon that way Good bacon is a must. Sadly, it's often "iffy". Funny you should say that - in my experience, bacon in an omelette gets limp and soggy and I like it crisp! I like my bacon very crisp. But when I add it to an omelet/omelette it does soften up. Not soggy, necessarily. Then again, if I add crumbled bacon to a pot of potato soup I don't *want* it to stay crisp. It's added for the flavour. If I wanted crispy bacon in soup I'd sprinkle some crumbled bacon on top of the serving bowl. Jill |

She did it again! Last night I did a chicken BBQ melt for my tea amd halfway through I said something to Dave and the next thing I saw the bacon starting to move sideways impaled on a shealthy paw Yet this evening I was doing another chicken breast and realised it had some small bits hanging off that would have just burned in the oven so I trimmed them off and gave them to the cats. Fresh raw chicken? Sarsi just looked at me as if to say "What is this?". Bonnie went into raptures and got stuck in

I love the bacon moving sideways impaled on a shealthy paw. Sarsi certainly loves stolen bacon.
She loves anything she can steal off a plate- that's how we found out she likes Brussel Sprouts Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
