[@callumscott1538]

I prefer north american bacon, but for the UK stuff you have a few problems here: 1) Back bacon in N. America gets cut shorter, so there is less fat. That is kinda un avoidable unless you know your butcher 2) If you cut the fat rind with a pair or scissors you will get less curl and more even browning 3) Cook on much lower heat if using a pan and with some oil 4) A lot of folks will "grill" it under the broiler instead which gives you nice crispy fat and still a juice bit of meat But yeah - it is cook in a sandwich or breakfast roll but super over rated (this is from a Brit living in N. America)

[@SkillShoe-f11]

I live in the southern states and we eat back bacon too and Im gonna squash this here and now. 1. Streaky bacon wins hands down in terms of flavor. Its no contest. 2. Theyre really not even the same. Back bacon is practically ham and far less fat, whereas streaky bacon is from pork belly. Youre not gonna convince me, most of North or South America, or any Asian country that back bacon is superior to pork belly.

[@Kratos-005]

English back bacon has more meat on it. The streaky American bacon is fatty and less meat on it. Personally, I’m not picky, I would happy eat both. Both have flaws, but streaky American bacon can get really crispy when cooking it, which I adore. But, I also like the meat on the English back bacon, and it can also get crispy, not as much as the American streaky bacon, but still a nice crisp. I like both.

[@septicwomb4394]

Thick cut smoked back bacon is the bollocks.

[@-Old-School-Gamer]

Back Bacon is phenomenal if you get it from a top tear butcher, but it’s horrible if bought pre-packed. That’s because they inject it full of preservatives to extend its live, as well as additional water to increase the weight, which is what that vile white slime that comes out when cooking is. I worked at Dane Pack for just over a year, that’s how I know. THE DIFFERENCE IS HUGE.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Streaky bacon is mostly fat, not enough meat. I don't want to eat fat.

[@namesy]

Tip on the eggs. Hot pan. Add the egg, once the whites develops, turn the heat right down and cover it. That steams the white on the top whilst cooking underside. You can let it cook on high for a little if you want a crispy edge.

Both bacon types - in a bacon sandwich, you want the softer back bacon contrasting against the crispy streaky. Next level!

Born and bred in the UK. Great to see it all (nearly 😂) done in a frying pan. Certainly best for flavour! It is a"fry-up" after all.

I’m from England, and am no stranger to a full English breakfast 🤣 but ‘streaky bacon’ is by far superior to back bacon, but for a breakfast sandwich AKA sarnie 😂 it has to be back bacon.. it’s so nice to see someone from America understanding and appreciating the beauty of a full English breakfast 💪🏼

To stop back bacon curling - make some small cuts along the fat, like you would on a pork chop. The when it cooks the fat does not deform the bacon when it contracts, and you can get a nice flat cook! Big love Sonny - representing UK food properly

[@markmcleish3]

Absolutely right! You can also fold the skinny end of the back bacon over the big end, flip it and place that side in a cold pan on medium heat to slowly render out the fat (it's also more manageable for bacon sarnies). The white stuff is caused by excess water during the curing process. Common with most store bought back bacon. You could try and find a butcher that dry cures but you'll pay a lot more for it.

[@JimCarner777]

As for canned baked beans, many Brits insist that they MUST be Heinz. I've never understood that. Unless you're talking about really cheap watery beans, all beans taste pretty much the same to me. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if all the different brands were made in the same factory, including supermarket own-brands. (And the cheap brands probably just add more water, which could be simmered off in a pan anyway.) And I always tweak beans in the pan anyway by adding any combination of pepper*, powdered veg stock**, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and Tabasco sauce. *Ideally powdered white pepper **Marigold veg stock is excellent imo And then add a little water, stir well, and then simmer the beans over a low heat in a pan (stirring regularly) until they become gloopy. Then serve.

[@parallelsuns1]

This can also be a main meal served with chips instead of hashbrowns, but worcester sauce for the beans and brown sauce for the sausages makes it even better

[@MrGrimsmith]

Good call on not including hash browns, they weren't a thing when I was a teenager (30+ years ago) but seem to have been added in the last 20 or so years. Fried slice is also a lot less common nowadays, you generally get toast instead. What we tend to do at home is cook the bacon first then strip the fat off once the meat is where we want it so the fat renders down in the pan and flavours everything else. Added bonus is you get crispy bacon rind with the meat being softer. Bacon isn't supposed to shatter after all :)

[@gavinlewis666]

Great tip on stripping off the fat and letting it render. I like both types of bacon, but I don't like it crispy - except for the rind. Perfect!

[@danielclark-hughes692]

The back bacon _has_ to curl. You want those differing textures and flavours on the bacon. Some crunchy parts, some soft, beautiful. Have a cup of tea with it, perfection. That's a legit English breakfast dude, kudos.

I think you need to try proper dry cured back bacon. No white crap coming out of it.. You need to cut the fat down the length of it and it will lie flat. Also use a burger press to colour the sausages on all side. Get a Cumberland when you get a chance. Burger presses work well with bacon as well. Great video as always.

Ok so I’m a Brit, who goes to the states very regularly, so I feel well positioned to comment on this. Tomatoes - no olive oil, otherwise fine, certainly no herbs. Mushrooms - perfect, mush mushrooms are not the one, you cooked them out so they become meaty and delicious Eggs - perfect. Snotty egg white is foul. A touch of black pepper on top looks lovely though. Malvern salt - yes! Fried bread - no complaints. Adding lard is naughty but wonderful. Beans - no discussion required. Sausage - good. I think you can only get the ideal sausages for this in the UK. I also like chipolata sausages too. Bacon - controversial. Traditional back bacon is great in a sandwich, especially when thicker cut to give more bite. American bacon is also great, and I think offering both on the plate is a game changer, and I’ll be doing this in the future. Black pudding - food of gods I’d have a hash brown in the side. However, you forgot the most important bit. HP brown sauce!

Back bacon, smoked. Fry in butter. Snip the bacon on the rind (twice) and it won't curl up Toast instead of fried bread, not a fan White pudding or Black pudding from Ireland or Scotland - less spongy that the English version.

For a fry up (full English breakfast) I would always go with proper bacon (back bacon). If I'm making something that needs to be wrapped in bacon then that's the only time I'd use streaky bacon.

[@jeffreymorris9776]

I'm an American who lives in London for the last 8 years. Streaky (American) bacon is my preferred bacon. Even how they cure bacon in the UK from most supermarkets it's way too salty tasting, where as most brands in America have a nice taste, not overly salty. Even the texture of streaky bacon is superior, as most of the time you bite into a bacon bap here in UK, you have these grisely stringy bits of fat from back bacon that is just not that appetising to be honest. Mostly bacon isn't cooked crispy enough its sometimes soggy and the fat hasn't cooked down enough... Thanks for the video!

You can avoid the "coagulating proteins" with bacon if you buy better quality dry cured bacon. The white gunk is because cheaper bacon is pumped full of water which is released when cooked. Otherwise, pretty solid effort!

From South Africa: Back bacon is definitely the way to go for breakfast! smothered in a decent amount of Worcertshire sauce. Streaky (USA) bacon has its uses, and I have used it for breakfast, but IMO its better purposed for recipes requiring some fatty bacon bits. PS. Nothing wrong with streaky (belly) bacon, so please dont hate on me! BTW we have a home make (KOO) of baked beans - also known as farting pips :) there is also a chilli version which are awesome

Nailed it lad! Try folding the skinny end of the back bacon over the big end, flip it and place that side in a cold pan on medium heat to slowly render out the fat (it's also more manageable for bacon sarnies). The white stuff is caused by excess water during the curing process. Common with most store bought back bacon. You could try and find a butcher that dry cures but you'll pay a lot more for it.

And now I have a hankering for a Full Irish.

LOL at the caviar spoon for the beanz If the eggs are closer to room temp when they go in they are less likely to stick also btw. Soak them in hot-ish water
