Cheshire Cat

As regards bacon, you have said the magic word, and that is 'Danish' I used to sell the stuff, retail and for a time wholesale, and Danish was always far better than Dutch or British bacon, and bacon on the roll, which was what was sliced in corner shops, the best was Danish A1 which most corner shops sold, and I used to bone and roll sides of bacon, using string and netting, the Gamon, the best part of the side, the middle, which was cut into two 'half middles' one had the bulb of Gammon at one end, which was the Gammon end of the Middle, and at the other end was what was known as the 'fore end' of the side, sometimes referred to as 'lean bacon' the cheapest and lowest quality of the 'side of bacon' this sort of cheap bacon was used by cafe's and places like that.

Anyone remember the old fashioned hand cranked bacon slicers, they were normally red in colour ?

But bacon today just does not taste like the Danish bacon of yester year
