Bacon

 Ingredients

  • Rashers of Bacon either Smoked or Un-Smoked

   Method

  1. As with eggs there is plenty of discussion about how they should be cooked and served. - Long back, Short Back, Middle cut, Streaky.  Some like it crisp, others still soft.
  2. My favourite is long back bacon but getting that in France is just a dream.  M&S, when in Paris, was my source of bacon.  I've tried to produce it myself with moderate success but now I've found a butcher Elliotts in Mayenne so if I am returning from Paris by car I calll in and stock up.  
  3. In France what they call bacon, but isn't, is wafer thin.  I like my bacon 5mm thick.  Irish produced bacon is also available in France from Bacon by the Box.  Their Klonakilty Bacon is really top quallity..
  4. If your bacon has rind on it then cut it off and throw it in the pan.
  5. Fry on moderate heat until soft.  That's how I like it.  Not crispy.
  6. Or if you prefer you can grill it but if it is grilled I prefer streaky.
