Making Bacon

[BDG]

I have ate the pancetta stuff I made raw, was good. You can eat any decent made bacon raw, its the modern shop crap that you are best off not eating.

Forgot to add in the post, I did have a small bacon slicer - it was OK and it did the job, but it was a pain in the arse to have have to take it to bits and wash it if I just fancied a bacon sandwich. I use a sharp knife to cut my bacon now, cut through the meat into the skin rather than through skin into meat, means I can control size and shape a lot better as cutting into the skin squashes the meat.
