Yes. If don't grill both sides, the ungrilled side tastes soggy.

This sounds like a series of experiments that need to be carried out, and repeated as often as necessary to ensure consistent results...

But if you grill both it turns into cardboard

It will, if you leave your bacon under the grill and go for a quick *** or a quick dump, which may take a minute or two.

You have to stay with your bacon, flip it to grill both sides in a matter of seconds, and then it should taste like properly grilled bacon. Not the bacon that has white fat running on that ungrilled side, yuk!

On a serious note, it doesn't have to be grilled both sides, ok? Eat the way you like it. If it's not grilled on one side, you will live on if you eat it. Ok?

Ok. Thanks for letting us know that you only buy quality food. I wouldn't know the real taste of real bacon, I get mine at Tesco. My bacon could be made out of a horse or a donkey for what we know.

How much is that black farmer bacon, then? I get 2 packs of 16 rashers for a fiver. Is my bacon bogstandard? How much should I pay, then? I mean, minimum?

I've just checked Black Farmer's shop on line. It's not that bleddy expensive, and they sell it in Tesco, Asda, Spar etc. as well.

Don't be such a tight-@rse, and eat as much bacon as you like. Just don't over-do it. Too much bacon is not good for you, even with less or no fat; whether it's black farmer's or white farmer's- makes no difference.

never seen a black farmer before...

It would depend on what cooking method you are using if you grill it on a rack then I would prefer it turned but if you use a tray then it would cook a little on the other side from the heat in the tray.

This is Black Farmer bacon:



Dunx, you can buy yourself a George Foreman lean and mean grill machine. This will prevent you from under or over-cooking any meat; may it be bacon, sausage or a steak. This will cook any meat well both sides without turning it into cardboard/MDF etc.

But that's not what you quoted as your reason for eating only one slice (probably only every Saturday morning). You said you didn't want to go bankrupt. However, if you want to use "Too much bacon can kill you" excuse to cover it, and thus kill two birds with one stone, that's fine.

You should be able to safely digest two rashes of bacon with one egg, one slice of toast, some mushrooms and one sausage for your weekend breakfast. You don't have to live on one slice of bacon, and then wait for next Saturday to have another one. Extra slice is not going to kill you. But.......... if you are unhealthy already, then I take no responsibility if it does.

I have to say that slow cooker in my house is a dust gatherer. Not into insipid soups for my evening tea with some sliced bread on the table. I like proper meals.

I do use George Foreman grill quite a bit. What I mean is, if I use it 3 times a month to do random bacon, chicken or salmon, I have had my money back. Each time you wanna grill something, just stick it in there. Dead easy to clean as well, and runs for years. I think I've had mine for 5 years now.

That is not bacon!!

There is no rind, let alone any hairs, and it looks like it has been sliced as thin as parma ham

They say that people who don't eat bacon live longer. This isn't true, it just seems longer.

Exactlymy thoughts:

You use a grill?

Frying pan, or if you want to be posh/fancy; a cast iron skillet

Bacon should not be grilled on either side

It should be fried or griddled, and accompanied by black pudding.
