Bacon - given the choice I'd always choose the wee medallion things with the fat already trimmed off than full rashers. Is that a black mark against my name for life? I'm with you on this life choice. Even more controversially my favourite way of cooking it if I'm not frying anything else is between two sheets of kitchen paper in the microwave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind fruit pudding but one bit is more than enough and it just seems like a waste of space that could’ve been used for an extra bit of black pudding, haggis or an egg. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It’s funny how the only time we disagree on food is when you’re wrong [emoji106]Pig fat is delicious, and its unhealthiness should be mitigated using moderation, not removal. IDGAF tho, still giddy and doe eyed over finding out how much we greeny eachother. Have another. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no visible white fat after cooking but this is why streaky is best: the fat melts and bastes the meat around it delicious animal fat goodness. Otherwise what you're getting is a glorified ham sandwich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Grilling bacon is such a pain in the arse, because i don't use the grill for anything else. But it might be the right way to go. There's a perfect balance of heat needed. Too hot and you've dried it to f**k, and not enough heat and you won't get the crispness that the fat deserves. It's an art so it is, and I'm happy to admit I'm still learning my craft. And for some reason, a hot breakfast roll always tastes better when someone else makes it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Back on topic. I’m not particularly one for a fry up, but on the odd occasion I will partake. Spent the last few days at a hotel in #perthshire (I should be in San Francisco, but that’s for another thread ((pttgoyn)), and the fried breakfast was a delight. Anyway, I’m of the (I assume) unpopular opinion that black pudding is a better breakfast staple than haggis. The black pudding statement is true. Haggis is shite with a breakfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be done properly, with a bacon press, or on a good griddle so that all the fat renders and goes crispy. Nothing worse than lank, insipid bacon with rubbery fat. Perhaps a spongey sausage. Spongey sausage is the hallmark of a cheap, half-arsed cooked breakfast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
