Bacon updated.

  1. OK, I've done this two or three times and although it makes nice bacon, it's also hellish expensive bacon.
    But I have learned from it and I can now pass on a new found skill.
    Dry cured bacon is much nicer than bacon cured in brine but it's more money.
    Brine cured bacon is dirt cheap, I hadn't bought it in months but paid £4 for a kilo last thursday. Came home and made myself a sandwich.
    Gawd streuth,
    I'd forgotten about all that manky white liquid that comes out.
    So I chucked away all the polythene packaging and wrapped it up in greaseproof paper. By end of play thursday, the paper was soaking wet.
    Re-wrapped in fresh paper and again on Friday morning.
    Kept re-wrapping using the driest bits of the paper against the bacon and this lunchtime, I made myself a bacon sandwich.
    Not a drop of manky white liquid to be seen and a vast improvement in the taste and texture.
    Bernies Better Bacon, give it a go.

  2. Homemade bacon is way better than anything I have bought in 30 years, smoking it is the hardest bit by a long chalk. Homemade sausages are worth a go too
