Bacon Re: Winter Cancelled!

Well, around here the easy way would be to do more than will be eaten for breakfast when you're doing breakfast, then let it cool. No need for a hammer, properly cooked American bacon (whatever you call it) will crumble in your hands. Of course, that only works if you're cooking for one (yourself), because if there is more than just you around, any reasonable amount you do _will_ be eaten at breakfast. If you fry the whole pound, they'll _eat_ the whole pound. This picture is of overlapping (sometimes called "cascaded" packaged thin strips of bacon, uncooked. Is this "rashers"? You peel it off, one strip at a time, and drop it into a hot skillet. It's so fat that the skillet doesn't need to be greased or oiled. Well-seasoned cast iron is nice, though. http://animalscience.unl.edu/meats/ced2001/Retail%20Cuts/Cut13.htm This picture shows where it came from http://missvickie.com/howto/meat/meatpork.html This shows the American breakfast, but I never saw a plate that looked that artificially neat! http://www.lolfun.com/funpages/bacon/bacon.jpg can't you just feel your arteries snapping shut?

Similar to ours, except for the bacon being much crisper and not as lean. What are those little brown things? Potato croquettes? SallyM - off to bed to rest my arteries!!

Potato croquettes? I had the impression they're sausages, some restaurant sausage can look like that, but some "hash brown potatoes" (probably much like your potato croquettes) also can. (Most hash browns are a mound of shreds or little chips with some surfaces browned) Like I said, that plate's so neat it's unbelievable. -- Love in Christ, Sibyl Smirl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Elizabeth Kipp They are sausages but do not look like english sausage. I like the stewed tomatoes that come with an English breakfast. At the airport before we left to come home to Canada, we went to the restaurant that featured an English Breakfast and we weren't disappointed. It was really very good. -- Elizabeth (Blake) Kipp ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ann Markle I had the impression they're sausages, some restaurant sausage can look like that, but some "hash brown potatoes" They are definitely sausages. Looks like my breakfast at the CREDO conference. And somehow I still manage to be alive, even with a low cholesterol number (149, if my memory serves me right). YUM. Ann The Rev.
