Bacon

Me neither!!!

We'd starve if we stopped eating everything that is the subject of one of these "studies".

We'd probably have to eat half a pig a day to have an effect, anyway. They test things by giving rats a huge amount.

No me neither.

There will probably be another study before long saying that bacon, sausages etc are good for you. One minute coffee is bad, then good. Cannot remember what the latest thing is with that. Bacon sarnies on Saturdays - lovely!

Glad we in aggreement !??

wee wee!!

We only have it once a week so no - I cut off all the fat anyway and we have unsmoked. Sausages about once a month. Pork pies and sausage rolls- never! Yuk

But I do love a nice bacon roll
?

Ham is more worrying. DGS2 insists on ham and cheese sarnies everyday for his school lunch.

Nothing beats a bacon and mushroom sandwich.

Ooh will try that !

Bacon on a lightly toasted onion bagel. Yum. I agree Alima. This week bacon's out of favour, next week it'll be OK again. I agree about sausages, but only because I don't like them.

It's the quantity eaten I think. A bacon bap at the weekend won't do you any harm, though the pig might not agree.

I do get fed up with being told what we should and shouldn`t eat. If we followed all the so called advise what`s left?

I'm fed up with all these so called experts handing out advice, and it's often contradictory. Just eat anything in moderation, surely that makes sense.

In South Africa where I used to live, one of the favourites everywhere was a bacon and banana toasted sarnie!
Anyone here ever tried that? it's delish
A little bit of what you fancy cant be bad and if we followed the advice of every so called expert looking for his 5 minutes of fame, what sort of miserable life would it be!

No I have never heard of bacon and banana sandwich.

I have a toasted bacon sandwich a few times a year- I agree a little of what you fancy does you good. I drink coffee all day and every day and to date I am fine- it is part of my diet which is non negotiable.

I'm sick of 'healthy' eating advice from 'experts', it's mostly rubbish. Good quality bacon or sausages once a week isn't going to harm anyone. A printed sheet my husband got from our GP today included the usual rubbish about fat and advised eating low fat spread instead of butter. Why should a highly processed artificial product be better for you than something natural! Nowhere did it advise avoiding processed food

Bacon, lettuce and tomato with mayo on a toasted panini is my go-to sandwich favourite. Can't see me giving that up any time soon! If bacon and ham was going to kill me, it would surely have done it by now, seventy years down the line!

I use bacon quite a lot in cooking (eg chopped in a sauce to pour over a lamb chop or roasted with cauliflower in the oven) and work on the basis that it doesn't count if it's in small pieces!

Everything in moderation in my opinion , so bacon remains on the menu at our house x

This isn't new advice, it's been known for a very long time that cured or preserved meats are carcinogenic. So is any burnt food.
Moderation in all things, as always. Just don't eat bacon for breakfast, ham for lunch and pork pie for dinner every day.

Spoilsport!

whats this with bacon? what have I missed? I love a bacon buttie and love ham from the market stall (maybe I'm better not knowing)
