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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |
