Smoked or Unsmoked?

Following on from the general bacon theme...

I know that they're as cute as hell but... smoked or unsmoked?


I, myself, think that unsmoked bacon is the work of the devil - discuss....

I think there was a poll on this a few weeks ago???

Although that was a week of many polls! So I may be mistaken.

The slightly salty flavour is actually the preservatives that are pumped into massed produced bacon, it's not quite so noticeable in green bacon, but quite pronounced when it's been smoked.

If you do get the chance to try proper farm produced bacon, the smoked variety is very nice, but as I usually eat the carp from Sainsbury's, it has to be green for me.

Smoked and thickly cut streaky from a local butchers. Almost like a bacon chop. Scrumdiddlyumptious
