    Pig Candy (candied bacon)
    Simplest recipe uses just brown sugar and bacon. Chopped pecans sounds good too.

    This thread reminded me of a product I bought recently. I have always liked keeping bacon grease to use for flavoring beans, etc. Trouble is, we don't fry/eat much bacon anymore so I decided to try this...

    I actually like the product; it is filtered, strained bacon grease and is shelf-stable. It has a nice bacon flavor.

    Biscuits just gotta have lard or bacon grease!

    To be sure, I like the concept and will ask Yvonne to look for it on our next grocery order. My doctor probably won’t like it but I figure that since he and I are not in a committed relationship nor am I married to him I can cheat a little once in a while.

    Does anyone know what a Bacon Buddy is? I have seen it in fiction from the UK, especially Scotland. Is it just bacon in bread or is there something more?

    Butty. UK
    No, I didn’t know it off the bat so I had to look it up and come to find out, I’ve been slamming down something akin to it most of my life. Just a bunch of bacon on a biscuit, roll or bread with butter.
    I use mayo instead of butter.

    Isn't bacon different in the UK, too?

    I had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. It was good. :)I used whole wheat bread, so it was healthy. ;):)

    That one I didn’t have to look up.
    UK’s is a loin cut whereas ours is pork belly which also means ours is fattier.
    Now, whether they use a smoking process like we do or not is a Master Butcher Google answer or…maybe someone from the UK can speak up.

    No idea, but perhaps it is akin to Canadian bacon?
