What you want to do with bacon is put it on some greaseproof paper on a baking tray and whack it in the oven at about 200c for 15-20 minutes - it goes just the right kind of crispy and golden, but because it's essentially cooking in its own fat the meat stays nice and tender in the middle.
One does not simply start a floppy VS crispy bacon war!
Floppy chewy smooth meaty bacon all the way!
Ugh. Why even eat bacon then? Just warm through some thinly sliced pork and be done with it  Oven bacon is best bacon - crispy AND succulent.

I'm of two minds on bacon. Crispy bacon is great, as the fat basically disintegrates in the mouth without having to chew, but chewy bacon fat is also good. Bacon should not, however, be limp.

I do the same thing, but only because it's quick and easy if I want a strip or two in the morning before work.
Honestly, kudos to the makers of this thread. I haven't laughed so hard at British humor and Brits and Americans messing with each other in ages. After kind of a tough day, this really helped. And that picture of a Toad in the Hole on the other page actually made me salivate a little. I'll have to try one of those if I'm ever in the UK (too lazy to make one myself!).

Well, much of it started as ways to make your food go as far as possible.
Such as, Stovies.
Needs Beef Dripping (not Pork Leakings or Turkey Seepage), spuds and onions as essentials. After that, every family has their own method and additions. Use up the scrag end of your Roast if you like, or any veggies also leftover.

Just not exploring it right! Pub food. That’s where it’s at. Head out into the sticks, and find villages. That’s where the best food is to be found, and if you’re really lucky, they do Spitroast meat over an open fire. It’s basically an automated dog taunting device.
Does Doggo lie in front of the fire to get toasty? Does it mooch for some of the tastybeefs on the spit? Or do it all a big sniff?

This. You can bread it if you like, as well, though it'll require some butter/oil in the pan beforehand so it doesn't get burnt.

Oh no, the mod said a forbidden word But I agree, especially when it comes to boiled potatoes. I hate boiled and mashed potatoes, but if you mix them with some meat, breadcrumb them and fry them they become great. Pairs really nice with borsch or other soups.

The fat on a rasher of back bacon should be crispy, but not the meat itself. With streaky bacon, I prefer it crispier overall, as it's going to be in a BLT anyway.
Sometimes, I'm tempted to cook some cheap steaks just to mince 'em down afterwards to make rissoles out of.

I cook bacon in the oven and save the drippings to cook most everything else. If you cook it just right in the oven it will be crispy, but not burnt and almost be like meat candy.

Same here; crispy is great if you want to use bacon as an accompaniment, for example sprinkled over mac & cheese, but if I’m making a bacon cob, I want something meaty to chew on.

Yeah, the UK is crazy with local variations, traditions, dialects etc. Like you can probably find more cultural differences between Dover and Deal (a nice bicycle ride away) than you can find between Moscow and Vladivostok (on opposite sides of the world)*.
There are other countries (Germany, Italy) that also have loads of local cultural differences in relatively small areas, but I find the difference not nearly as pronounced as in the UK. It is one of the reasons I love the UK so much, along with the lovely landscapes and the people being so polite.
The food on the other hand...
*Of course, that doesn't take into account all of the other peoples that live between Moscow and Vladivostok, just ethnic Russians.

It's just cheap beef stew, no need of a fancy name, and is a good cold weather staple (not sure about cooking it thick enough to slice though, you'd still end up with a very messy pocket [ see forum posting rules], {can't help it, that's what the food's called, and it predates any use of the word for homosexuals by centuries} now there's something I've never been impressed with, I can eat them but wouldn't choose them especially as the same offal from sheep makes the much tastier haggis. Bacon & Onion Rolly Polly was probably killed by wet curing bacon coming into vogue, it's going to be really nasty filled with that white goo that seeps out of bacon nowadays unless you pay thtough the nose for dry cure.... If I can get hold of some cheap at the market one week I'll have to give it a try as it sound good
