What do you cook your bacon in if not butter

Never cooked it in butter.  IMO it tastes best in its own grease.  First of all forget the crappy intensively-produced watery tasteless bacon from supermarkets and corner shops. Last time I bought and cooked bacon was from a local village butcher when camping a few weeks back.  He sliced me four medium cut pieces from the bacon joint.  Cost less than £2 and was quality, just like I remember eating as a kid.  Bacon was something of a delicacy in our family and I carried on the tradition.  True to popular opinion bacon has without doubt been the hardest thing to quit since endeavouring to buy more ethically/healthfully.

Anyway, if possible let rashers sit and rest un-refrigerated at room temp for a while before putting in pan.  Otherwise lay and warm them very gently in the pan before raising the heat from v. low to med/low.  You have to render the fat to get it cooking properly.   Only needs turning once if cooked right.  Then once properly cooked get your bread slices (or cut roll) and press down on that whole gently sizzling mess for 10 secs before removing from heat and filling with rashers.  Don't throw the grease away down the drain.  You're throwing the taste away.  Don't put butter in there, you're making a mess of bacon and a mess of the taste of bacon.  Last word.  ymmv but  some things are just wrong 😝 Here's how:

A veggie dog, yesterday....

I think that's a vegan dig perchy. You can tell from the wonderfully supercilious facial expression.

Edit: "how to cook bacon" illustrated with streaky bacon FFS. Streaky bacon is for cooking with, just like back bacon is for jealous people on diets or those who think Danish [as relates to bacon] is a mark of quality not poor animal welfare.

Bacon has a big streaky tail wrapped fully the length of the sumptuous medalion at its head, lined all along its outer edge by a translucent rind backed with a milky white thickness of fat. It is not rindless, not smoked, it is certainly not missing the medalion or trimmed of the excess flavour in its tail end.

If its that weird english muck that gets called black pudding and has horribly white lumps of fat in it…. That goes in the binners
