I have ordered bacon with whatever a number of times my mouth watering in anticipation of a crispy tasty piece of meat only to see the limp ham-style thingy. Disappointed many of my meals. I don’t order bacon anymore… unless I am in the US. Hmmm, deep fried baked beans – I am sure there is a way…

Same happens to me. The first 3-4 miles are the hardest. Once I pass the 4-mile mark, I am good for any distance.

Is it bad that my first reaction to this was “You can’t write down ‘ham and burger’! It’ll break my system!”?

There is, quite sadly, a distinct difference in the preparation of American versus British bacon – primarily we’ve deduced it is by how it is smoked. Most people have directed us to “streaky bacon” which looks like, but is most definitely NOT American-style bacon. For a sincere comparison I suggest finding Oscar Myer at your local mega-grocer, it’s in bright yellow packaging, you can’t miss it.

No no no no no!! If it’s limp, pink and not very tasty, that makes it undercooked not British! I don’t like bacon that’s not crispy, although if it comes to it then undercooked bacon is better than no bacon at all. Anyway, if the only problem is the size of the rashers, cut ‘em smaller

Depends on who you talk to. We do, incidentally, have a tea wiki which explains all tea related items as well as how much milk in on hand for those who prefer it.

Actually yesterday while I was writing this I recalled the section in the Hitchhiker’s Guide where the Heart of Gold shuts down and falls out of orbit because all it is doing is processing the proper way to make tea. I get so much of Douglas’ writing now, he left us too soon!

You are so right! If I’m struggling a bit in the morning, I’ll make it a ‘two tea’ morning.
But does your office make tea the proper way?!

Have you ever come across Douglas Adams’ instructions on how to make tea? This reminded me of them…
