I was watching my favourite vid last night and the dog got me thinking about maple cured streaky bacon which you can't seem to find anywhere. Lidl used to do it as streaky but now that's gone. Does anyone know where you can buy this tasty breakfast delicacy?

Sainbury's do a Taste The Difference Range. At the moment they are doing 3 packs for only ?6. I agree it is proper bacon properly cured.

Like the dog in the video, I'm actually thinking of Streaky Maple bacon that goes crispy when fried rather than back bacon which doesn't. I wasted some money in Waitrose buying some Heston Blumenthal "Syrup & Stout" bacon which is SHITE. Who on Earth wants to cover their bacon in beer and some insipid syrup?

I love bacon, but not streaky. It has to be back or middle and it must be dry cured and not smoked.
I love Canada and have spent a long time there since 1980 when I was stationed in Alberta. When I went into the mess for my first breakfast the cook asked me if I wanted any bacon and I took a look at this streaky shyte on the hotplate and said,"Nah, only the poor people eat that shyte in my country" The fucker was mortified as if I had slapped him in the face. I subsequently discovered that this bloke was the best cook in the whole of the Canadian Army system and prided himself on the quality of his meals. So, when an up front Brit tells him that his breakfast is shyte he went to pieces. I made an enemy of him for the rest of my tour. I wasn't all that bothered as he was a twatt.
Even to this day when I now visit friends and relations in BC I still can't help but pass comment on their bacon. I am informed that it is the same in the States. I also understand that the UK is the only European country that has the different types of bacon that we do. It must be the reason why this small island conquered the globe as it did. A good old full English gets one going and ready to do anything.

"Oscar Mayer Streaky Bacon" the King Of Bacons! if you fry 5 or 6 rashers of this, you end up with a whole mug of fat, but the crispiest, tastiest, darn bacon this side of Dover, if you could only find it! Oscar's pigs must be all morbidly obese!
An Oscar Mayer porker in its prime?

Rodders: I love your stories which start on the topic posted, then inevitably spill into 'when I was in the army....'
Keep 'em coming please, they are not at all tedious

Thanks pornoshop, it's nice to be appreciated.
We have a couple of pornoshops here in Brighton. You're not one of them are you?
