That sounds great! We have 4 Thai basil plants that need a good prune in the garden so this is on!

It really hits the spot, Godspeed

Topper wrote once that he put basil on his BLTs instead of lettuce. I tried it myself. A crispy bacon, basil, and tomato sandwich is fine.

I had a gf from Glasgow back in the day that would cook bacon until it was so black you could use it to do your homework.

Pink and chewy back bacon all the way.

And never waste the fat.

Pork products make life worth living.

^ you bloody anti-semite!

Always noticed an English Breakfast was that way.

Bacon + pumpkin + pesto + pasta.

Very summer-ish

This obsession with crispy streaky bacon is very much a Septic thing, we in more civilised countries ensure back bacon retains texture and the flavour of semi rendered fat.

But, carbonising processed bacon to the degree described herein is not wise over a prolonged period given research suggests such a cooking method increases carcinogenic properties.

The best way to obtain crispy bacon without frying is to place it in a microwave covered by kitchen paper and heat it for three minutes at a high power setting. Different processes curing bacon lead to differing water content, and fat content is very much a variable. If the bacon is still flaccid drain the plate of the water/ melted fat and covering with fresh paper give the strips another burst for a minute at a time until the bacon strips are dehydrated to your whim/ taste. Best not to overload the plate and stick to three strip batches.

Frankly, such a process is a criminal way to treat free range, dry cured bacon with a half inch frill of succulent fat conferring its juicy flavour but then, septics have poor taste, as a rule.

You are wrong and once again you try to pigeonhole 300 million people. I despise crispy bacon, preferring it nice and chewy.
