Water In Bacon

[cupotee2]

I guess were all plagued by the water content in Bacon these days.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand that can be fried, like it used to be.

Do you have a traditional butcher handy? Most of them do a decent dry cured bacon.

[gingejbee]

Yes, look for the words "dry cured"...even Lidl do it, at a very good price, too.

[Peter Pedant]

because basically that is how you make bacon and ham

pump water in it and the cheaper the cut the more water

[237SJ]

You can get dry cured bacon everywhere - I get mine from Sainsburys.

[EcclesCake]

Spoilt Pig or Denhay are better than average and available from most supermarkets.

[DaisyNonna]

No butcher Lidl or Sainsburys within easy reach!

Waitrose sell dry cured bacon, Daisy.

butchers! I'm not a food snob, but I can't stand supermarket bacon, or sauages

[Tilly2]

Morrisons bacon from the butcher's counter is lovely. The rindless, dry-cured, unsmoked back bacon is a dream.

[Psybbo]

Tilly, please send me some. Bacon here is rubbish.

[DaisyNonna]

Will try there next time I go. Only go about every 6 weeks as I always buy too much and have problems lugging it home. Walk to bus stop then 20 minute bus journey.

[Tilly2]

Daisy, get a taxi!

[Tilly2]

Do you not have a Morrisons, sibs?

[Psybbo]

They never made it to Northern Ireland, unfortunately, Tilly

[DaisyNonna]

Nearly £7 a journey?

[Tilly2]

Keep using the bus then, Daisy.

[sjayne]

on line shop?

[DaisyNonna]

On line shop in emergencies, shopping is good exercise

[Tilly2]

I like food shopping. It's an event for me. How sad is that?

[DaisyNonna]

I loathe shopping in any form
