If you’ve never had British bacon before, I highly recommend you try it. Instead of the fatty belly of the pork that they use for “American style” bacon, British bacon is cut from the back, or loin, resulting in a much leaner and meatier bacon experience. In fact, according to my favorite source, Proper British Bacon, eating a serving of British bacon is leaner than eating a skinless chicken thigh. Yessss! The big meaty slabs fry up in the pan beautifully, and are the star of the show on a BbLT , or BbSST(British bacon sunflower sprout tomato), as shown in my photo. In addition to the bacon in both smoked and unsmoked varieties, the Auburn, WA based butcher shop makes and ships their own bangers, and even specializes in the Scottish delicacy haggis, made from free range pork and meats raised on their own farm in eastern Washington. If you’re in the Seattle area, you can pick some up at their storefront or at local farmer’s markets, but for the rest of you, just have it delivered to your front door! — Megan B.
