I would if I could but I bet there's some rule that says I can't!
Don't you get smoked bacon over there?

There isn't any smoked bacon over here in France, unless it's
produced by the handful of English butchers resident here using
French pigs. I'm baffled why such a tasty thing as bacon isn't part
of standard French cuisine. They do have potrine which is just the
uncured part of the pig corresponding to the streaky bacon part but
it doesn't taste the same without the curing. Similarly there is
something called bacon that isn't English bacon. Bacon is the one
food I miss from England. :-( Even your leftover smoky bacon rinds sound
appetising!

If you and Martin email me your snailmails, I'll send some off to you
both! Streaky or back, gentilhommes? For a short time, I lived in
Belgium and some friends of mine were at the British Embassy there.
Bacon and sausages came over regularly in the Diplomatic Bag.

I read Martins comment above and thought the same. I'll happily send some
over if a snail is mailed.
