Thin bacon with plenty of fat (Aldi bacon is perfect) on seeded bread with real butter,none of this wagon grease pretend butter, must have mushrooms too help it down the swallow box. Washed down with a cup of strong Yorkshire tea with no sugar, lips are drooling just typing it out.

Just discovered Lidl's low GI multiseed cob. I'd always avoided anything gluten free but this seems to have less wheat and more grains:

Must get some to wrap some naked bacon in.

I’ve yet to find back bacon over here, I have to get my fix of bacon / sausage sandwiched when I visit you lot 
Toulouse sausages are pretty good though

Friend convinced me to try thinly sliced streaky bacon cooked in the air fryer.
My usual is smoked back (grilled) from our usual butcher but the streaky was nice in the air fryer I must admit.
I had another friend who used to request 10kg of UK back bacon...took it through the airport loads of times...never got stopped but often wondered what I'd say to them!

I try to avoid the nasty supermarket bacon, but I was once given a cooking tip to make it palatable.
Bring 10-15mm of water to a simmer in a frying pan and add your bacon. Once the water has evaporated, fry the bacon in its own fat to your liking. It really does work!
The only thing I’d say is that the smell of the bacon when simmering really does raise questions as to what on earth they add to it…

I can’t believe no one’s given a vote for the warm BLT! Gotta be my favourite sandwich.
Especially if you don’t want to feel like you’ve leg wrestled the grease fairy afterwards…
(Freshly made not one of the packet ones warmed up on the radiator!)

Totally off topic but that comment reminds me of being a youngster living in Barracks, where the beside lights were metal wall mounted affairs. Being metal with a good old incandescent bulb they got pretty warm if you left them on.
Top trick on a Saturday night used to be leaving the light on with a ginsters pie balanced on top whilst you went out for a few beers.
By the time you got back a few hours later you'd have a lukewarm pie for your supper to soak up the ale, courtesy of your bedside light food warmer.
Probably a good job I'd had 10 pints to fight of the food inevitable poisoning.

Beer has amazing antibacterial qualities. Think of all the Doner kebabs eaten after large quantities of ale.Totally off topic but that comment reminds me of being a youngster living in Barracks, where the beside lights were metal wall mounted affairs.

Aldi bacon offcuts are like that. A kg or so of weirdly-shaped lumps of bacon that fry up nicely.
I often just dump them into the slow cooker with a pack of vegies and let it do its thing.
