So you would say the butcher did something… different…. Between cutting American and British bacon? Yes? So we can say it was butchered differently? So we can all agree you just could not possibly wait to spew your pick me knowledge of the day all over everyone around you while tossing in your ahktually on the person above you? Good, good. I’m glad we all agree.

You can commonly get the back loin in the US but it won’t come with the fatty wings unless you go to a specialty whole hog butcher. That looks so much better than lean Canadian bacon.

I know where I’m going tomorrow. They sell the loin as half a spine with the tenderloin and top of the ribs with all the trim intact for less than $2 per lb.

Thank you for inspiring my next project. English bacon, smoked rib chops and fresh tenderloin for dinner.

Thank you! The elote and steak paired very well together. Gochugaru and chipotle went into both but the mayo kept the fire-breathing to a minimum.

Next time I'd like to add pickled daikon or kimchi and sticky rice to complement the onions, shiitaki, and bell peppers that are just barely out of frame in my pic.

Gotta say the US version of pigs in blankets looks a LOT less tasty than the UK version.

UK it's sausage wrapped in bacon....and it's the best thing ever.

Enjoy your glorified sausage in a bun.
