I dont beleive Butchers stock 'pure' Bacon. Well not the ones near me- one said his wasnt but I still got the water boiling out and another said he couldnt guarantee there wouldnt be some sort of preservatives (WTF).
Anywhere that sells (chain, anywhere) that sells unsullied Bacon????? I dont mind salt/cured but without Nitrate/natrates etc..
Robinson's in Stockbridge, Test Valley way. Home to the best trout fishing in the land and the best butcher on earth.
What about organic bacon?
Bugger. too far, unless its viable to post foodstuffs?
There's a Kosher butcher near me that does. Mail me and I'll zap you their detials
Hang on, have I missed something. Organic Bacon? Sainsburys/Tescos dont sell- where do you get it from?
Bacon's cured. Using salt. Which is a preservative.
Steve YGM but can they post?!

Bacon? Are you sure?
Try smoked, less likely to have been dicked about with.
PMSL @ hora falling hook line and sinker in to Steve's clutches!
Don't but it in a supermarket
Gits, hence my email was full of '!' and 'kosher'? 🙄
all bacon will have water in it to come out, there's a far amount in the pig
DRY CURED, it is in the name.
i.e no brine pumped in.
i used to work in a pig/bacon factory.
beforeeAA to an extent however I also 'blew up' after eating it. I react badly to additives in bacon. I'm not allergic to Pork- have eaten joints before etc but on certain sausages and bacon I inflate 🙁
I caught me a Hora!! 8)
Oh vey, wheres my high horse to ride and take on dastardly Steve.
Cheers Ton for the dry cured tip.
Flash, do they farm Brown Trout at that place you mentioned?
i used to work in a pig/bacon factory
I should coco, big fella. 😉
I react badly to additives in bacon.
Does bacon have different additives to other meats ?
I am rather suspicious of this thread however as it involves 'Hora' and 'pork' 😆
waitrose thick sliced bacon is really really good for not shedding loads of water when you cook it, not that expensive either.
We have a local butcher where people queue out of the door every day but waitrose meat counter is always better quality IME
Try your local Farmer's Market. Google it, there is a website showing the venues and dates of them all in the country.
I can recommend the Duchy Originals bacon, you can get it in Sainsbury's.
Just checked the freezer in CG Towers, shall have to have a word with the housekeeper, it's almost empty otherwise I could have checked the ingredients.
I can recommend a pub and farm shop in Berkshire who have their own organic herds. Very good but you have to pay for it. Also do excellent ready meals.
other meat in it's natural form does not have additives.
pork has additives to make it into bacon.
hora - check out the Northenden farmer's market. There's usually something half decent available there.
Details are somewhere on the Manchester City Council website. Think it's on once a month, and I saw it when passing last Saturday....
Also, you tried Barbakan and Wild at Heart in Chorlton?
It was with some trepidation that I Googled 'making bacon' but [url= http://www.3men.com/bacon_making.htm ]THIS[/url] was quite interesting
uplink
why the **** did you do that.
do you know what that does to me.
gonna have to order a hampers worth now....
sorry ton
Scottish bacon from Manchester 😕
Missionaries brought it back
I've made my own. easy, cheap, delicious and satisfying. Email me if you want advice.
Best bacon ever - Nick Nairn and I agree on that 🙂
There's a takeaway no more than 10 yards from my route into work that does puddledub bacon rolls. I have to be VERY strong!
Bit far from Manch but they do mail order.
You can't put any old 'additives' in meat sold as organic. Salt is permitted.
If you want mail order try http://www.graigfarm.co.uk/
The box schemes e.g. Riverford do organic meat too.

Hora to buy bacon from.....................Auchtertool 😀
My local deli sells some rather nice ayrshire bacon that does not shink or produce water or white gunk - but is well pricy.
Hora- if you are really interested I could get you some 'proper' bacon. A friend rears a few pigs and when the time comes she slaughters them and then some joints go as pork, others as bacon. The boary stuff is REALLY strong- I generally soak it in water for a while to try to tone it down but even then I can't eat a lot! Nobody else in the family will touch it! The sow bacon is milder but it is all relative- it is nothing like you will have bought in any shops I know of, and I used to be a butcher.
No mail order available, but seeing as she is only 40 mins from either Brechfa or Afan, as am I, next time you are headed this way give me enough warning and I'll arrange some for you.
Cheers guys. I love bacon TJ, its a treat so price isnt an issue. I had a bacon buttie from Nickys (scraggy) in Manchester on monday and my boss took the piss the next day likening me to a chipmonk.
[i]Barbakan and Wild at Heart in Chorlton?[/i]
Will do ta OMUN. The veggie supermarket not the right place to shout in a Brian Blessed-voice...' WHAAAT, YOU DONT SELL BACON? WHAT ARE YOU (self edit)*'
*I dont want lynching by militant veggies
if you ever make it up galloway there are 4 butchers in castle douglas and an award winning organic buthcher in dalbeattie the best bacon comes from "littles" in castle douglas who are a specific pork butcher home cured bacon next to no water although most do great "ayrshire" bacon
Hora, Where are you based? This guy does the most amazing dry cured smoked bacon. It comes with an inch rind of fat on that doesn't look pretty to the point where i asked him to cut it off the first time i bought some, he nearly hit the roof claimimg it was like edible gold! (he's very passionate about his bacon!).
He got through to the last 6 on the UKTV Food Local Heroes programme with Gary Rhodes and some woman claiming it was the best bacon they'd ever tasted!! High enough praise for me to visit him on a weekly basis!
Hora have you tried Taylor's in Sale Moor, used to be really good, not used it for a while though. Failing that Nixon's farm near Cheadle is excellent - they do bacon ribs mmmmmmmmm
I really wonder how some people get through life - with challenges like being a sex addict and being unable to to find bacon.
Despite being a flat town filled with chavs and surrounded by a sea of barely rideable mud, in Doncaster we eat like kings, thanks to our brilliant meat, veg and fish markets. Here's the pick of the butchers, they seem to have let bits of the website go to pot, but the meat is as good as ever.

Oh and if you fancy a change, how about a pie?

Yummy, market day tomorrow.
Make your own as Conor says.
muslims pig hunting on bbc2 at the moment!!
Find a decent local butcher.
I was very impressed with the bacon I bought from my local butcher - Ken Davey in Bookham. Completely different from even the best I'd bought from a supermarket. I don't like to ask if it contains anything it shouldn't as when I asked if there was a choice of turkeys to order, and that I wanted the best they sell, I was told that they only sell one sort and that they pluck them on the premises then hang in a purpose built turkey cold room for 2 weeks - was then asked 'Is that good enough for you?'.
there eating pig now!!
These guys in Turkey seem a bit more relaxed about it.

Could do worse. I've had a few bits and pieces from this lot. Unfailingly delicious.

errrr....
I've tried Taylors in Sale moor- I wasnt impressed.
Really, making bacon is child's play. You just make up a dry cure, cure the joint for a few days, smoke if you want. Keep in the fridge for a month.
I've only done streaky/pancetta so far. Going to do a couple whole back/belly next. I have a farm shop near me that rear and butcher saddle back and glouster old spot pigs.
I get bacon from Fenwicks in Newcastle, who's butchers counter sells meat from these people:
http://www.northumbrian-organic-meat.co.uk/index.asp
Sliced to order, dry cured, organic, blah, blah, blah. Doesn't taste like the general 'bacon related product' you generally get in plastic in supermarkets.
They mail order.
Hora. Go the Irish butchers on Wilbram Road in Chorlton. The one next to the fishmongers. I do every Saturday morning and stock up on 'Proper' bacon. They're sausages are bloody gorgeous too
binners, what shops etc is it near? Anyone else get the impression that ton is a nice and very helpful guy on the STW forum? (abit like Jedi) 🙂
Woodall's of Waberthwaite do "real" bacon. They also cure some wonderful hams and make very tasty sausage.
