1. LOL!

I don't have any white bread or bacon but that sure looks tasty!

:hi:

6. That was a heap load of bacon!

2. See, now

if I could eat that and live, I would. Bacon on smooshy white bread is awesome to taste. LOL

5. I'm a rye bread gal, myself

I was looking for info about dry cured bacon last night when that link popped up. It was funny how they were able to repair the sandwich when it fell apart.

Oh, btw, I also found a page about how there is a salt flavored bacon product. We try not to use salt, either. But wondered how that might taste in extreme moderation.

13. I love rye

especially with runny eggs for breakfast and for deli style sandwiches. We usually eat 100% whole wheat most of the time. I couldn't tell you the last time I actually had a slice of white bread.

3. Looks like a Top Chef winner!

Whoever adds bacon to their dish wows the judges! :)

4. I laughed when I read he chose lower salt for the "health benefits"

:rofl:

7. I recall staying at a B&B in England some years ago .....

.... where the lady of the house proudly served us fried bread for breakfast.

Plain bread (kind of a white bread) fried in the bacon grease from the morning's bacon.

It was cloying and nasty.

Too much of anything is not good.

8. English breakfasts I've read about are pretty heavy duty

Whenever I hear about bread fried in bacon grease I think of The Grapes of Wrath.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Yeah .... pretty much like Grapes of Wrath

This was a working class neighborhood. I can't recall the city, but I know it was in the Midlands someplace.

Full-on English breakfasts are cholesterol and calorie nightmares!

Bacon, eggs basted in bacon grease, then the bread fried in same, and bangers (white colored breakfast sausage that can't possibly have anything good it, although they really do taste good). I can't remember what all else, but the table fairly groaned under the weight of them when the plates were laid down.

9. ick -- not toasted?

That's a weird sandwich.

11. The only thing that is missing is the Toast. Better on good old

white toast. Good grief, my dinner will be bland in comparison. I wonder if I have a package in the freezer, I could always change my dinner plans. Off to look.........

12. Not that I would ever do anything like that, but

(because I would most certainly add at least tomato and mayo, and probably lettuce as well)

...so really, how is a pound of bacon so different from, say, a pound of pork - say country ribs without bones? No really, I want to know. At least with bacon, a good deal of the fat is rendered out.

I'm just wondering if this is one of those cases (of many) where the perception does not fit with reality.

Frankly I'd be more worried about the nitrites in the bacon than anything else (and he *did* use the low sodium bacon so at least that wasn't a concern).

So? C'mon let's hear it.

14. I think bacon has way more fat in it than most other cuts

I'm thawing out some pork chops and will trim the fat around the edges. They're pretty lean.

From what I remember about bacon it's from the back of the pig. Pigs make more fat up there to keep warm in wintertime. So, I think the fat content is much higher.

15. Oh yum,

I don't eat that anymore, never did with that much bacon; but crappy white bread and a few slices of bacon and I'm in heaven. Mayo, tomato and sprouts are good too, but I can live with just bread and bacon.
