- Depending on where you are in the world, you'll find a different version of bacon. In England, your bacon will be a leaner but still juicy cut from the back of the pig and cured to perfection. We visited The Butts Farm in South Cerney, Gloucestershire, to see how bacon is made from the meat of Gloucestershire Old Spots. This is one of the oldest breeds in the UK and is renowned for having a tender, marbled meat - so what better way to taste it than in the form of bacon?

How English Bacon Is Made | Regional Eats
I grew up in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds; such a stunning region! My parents still buy pork from this family.
My family moved from London to the Cotswolds when I was 7 or 8 and I remember being astounded by just how vibrant everything was
@@--R-U-SLAPPIN Absolutely, plus of course the stunning honey-coloured stone architecture. Such a special place.
One of my favorite cheeses is a Gloucestershire Cotswold with chive they have at traders Joe's here in the US
@@the1truth420 Oh wow that’s great! Thanks for sharing.
Me too
The lady talking about how she loves the bacon and fat was great. You can tell she has great passion and love for what they do and produce.
@@lasigh1478 Did you?
Every episode of Claudia is uniquely educational and interesting - thanks to the entire team at Food Insider who work to bring all of this together.
Because No one in history has ever done this before ohhhh wait yeah they have.
@@salvagemonster3612 No one does it as well as Claudia. Her enthusiasm to learn comes through and viewers feel like they are right there with her. She doesn't **ham it up** for the camera; she takes her job very seriously. Many purport to know it all while her episodes are more like historical documentaries. But if you don't see her value you can always just close the page.
@@salvagemonster3612 You seem angry and confrontational for no reason lmao
It's so crazy looking at these pigs compared to your normal domesticated slaughter pig. They look so healthy. This reinforces the ideal of buying local or doing it yourself if possible.
well there completely different breed but yeah we stuff normal farm pigs full all the foods that make them as fat as possible
Actually they dont look that good... there is no race where you should see the shoulder bones and if they would feel perfekt the hair would be much smoother and not that stump.
Pigs in closed farms are also "happily running around you" when you feed them by hand and also come to us to get a good scratch...
I can’t really fathom caring for animals and turning around and killing them. Just seems cruel.
@@delpicsla65 circle of life
@@JessicaFisher80 I wouldn’t be cut out for it. But true.
I'm Italian but I like to watch how real British food is made. I think that English food has been underrated for too many years
English food is some of the best, very underrated. Like you get pizzas, kebabs, curry, French all throughout the western world yet hardly anything truly English. As an English man I love our food yet nearly everyone I know don't like it, we have proper breakfasts and not overly sweet or boring. Roast dinners which are the best meals you could wish for, I mean how can you not like roast beef with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, and other veg depending on what's in season. Welsh lamb is just to die for, nothing beats a good sheapards pie made with lamb not beed with buttery mash. Sausage and mash with roast onion gravy is simple yet delicious if you get good sausages, which we have some amazing sausages; Lincolnshire sausage is gorgeous not spicy but really herby. We also do amazing cheeses and wines, with some of the English sparkling wine being just as good as quality Champagne. We seem to have it all food wise.
English food sucks
Consider the way they cook egg fried rice and thai green curry, I’m not surprised why their food is unpopular
@@gdjkq facts English food is crap beans and toast 🤣
The concept of English food is generally very simple, Wellington being among the most difficult which is saying something but the difference between bland English recipes and Yum is using quality ingredients and refining aspects of the recipe such as gravy. The wild difference between average gravy and really nice gravy but the essential aspects of the recipe is basic. English food can be boring or it can be Seriously Yum.
The butcher should be hired to do some voice over or an audio book.
Maybe he was, didn't see his mouth move once
The sound of him breathing was superrr distracting though
*sniff intensifies*
wtf why
Just close your eyes when you are yanking it and think of him then
Good to see people curing bacon without nitrates and showing that it can be done!!
One of things I missed most when living in the US was British back bacon, for the first 6 months after moving back I just bought it nonstop to the point my cousin thought it was hysterical and she got me a bacon calendar as a gag gift. Strangely, now that I’ve been back for a little longer I have also started buying American ‘streaky’ bacon because it is better for some uses like BLT sandwiches or on the side with French toast. That said, I don’t think Brits appreciate just how fricken amazing the bacon is here, just like Americans don’t appreciate just how great their steaks and prices of steaks are.
Isn’t Canadian bacon basically the same cut as back bacon? That’s available all over the US. It’s much leaner, with the fat around the outside bits.
Yeah, I missed back bacon, sausages, black pudding and Haggis when I was stateside. As well as a decent pint...
Well, from what I recall, steak pricing is a result of subsidies.
I did a couple of trips to England and I will say even your commercial grocery store bacon is amazing. Your commercial sausage on the other hand;).
Based
I love how awesome British people are. As soon as they start talking the host isn't even necessary anymore i just wanna listen to them talk for hours and hours. That lady talking about how she leaves the bacon cooking while she goes back to work on the farm had me wishing the video was 3 hours long.
I agree
cheers

I've been a butcher for 26 yrs and I've always liked watching how things r done around the world and how different it is from the US. Beautiful pork.
Can you butcher my family please? It's getting harder to exist with them. 1000$ for the job, tax free.
Bruh the butcher dude’s voice sounded so relaxing!
I'd love him to whisper his sweet recipes into my ear as I drifted off to sleep in his big strong British arms.
@@fullup91 he will whisper naughty words to you while he's butchering you in your sleep.
oh my gosh what is wrong with these replies
Yes. He wants you to relax so muscle arent that tensed up so cutting will be easier.

Haha, she had a struggle pulling/eating the fat because it wasn't crispy at all.. you could tell she didn't want to offend the owner..
@@ritchierich2793 ha ha
Exactly... too much of yeah yeah... kinda annoying
That was a pretty awkward situation lol
I love, cook, and respect cuisine from all around the world and make sure that my children have the same experience, but it is nice to see a major channel celebrating English foods. The post-war rationing stereotype killed perceptions of our food culture, including our own. It is nice to celebrate it.
No nationality tries to reinforce stereotypes of bad English food more than the French. No, not all. As an English person, travel the world and you'll find cheddar cheese (not the real cheese made in Cheddar, but some disgusting cheap version called Cheddar by some foreign producer), they'll never have heard of our bacon, nor of English mustard (what's that, they ask), nor sticky toffee pudding (unknown). A pleasant surprise you find everywhere abroad is Maldon sea salt from Essex. England needs to do more to protect it's good stuff from what these days you could call les haters. Like the French, invent the baguette, wait til everyone around the world makes it but worse, then bam, award yourself with a unesco heritage label and declare all other baguettes phony. Why aren't we up in arms about cheddar cheese being known as the lowest quality cheese all around the world, the type you only find in the cheapest of burgers? Also, we need to know more about the nutrition of the fat on this bacon. I mean, look at Japan, they eat saturated fat and are healthy, and new research is reversing long-held beliefs about saturated fat being as harmful as previously believed. Alcohol, meanwhile, continues to be believed to be harmful even in small amounts. I'd also like more videos on the English foods lost along the way, such as the Anglo-Indian dishes now abandoned (not speaking about modern British Indian cuisine - which I absolutely love).
What is an example of Anglo-Indian food? It would be nice to try it
@@phemstros I'd love to try it. Something like "kedgeree with rice, fish pieces and hard-boiled eggs, served with butter or cream," an adaptation of an existing Indian breakfast called khichdi. If you Google colonial Anglo-indian cuisine you should find some interesting reads on how Indian cuisine influenced English cuisine (spices, 'curries', chutneys), and vice versa (afternoon tea and cakes). A lot of ills of colonialism in that period. But also a period of creation and assimilation food-wise.
I’m happy to see a video from this channel about real British food instead of showing international foods in street markets or dishes of eels in jelly that no one ever eats. There are lots of nice foods in the uk especially great meat, fish and seafood, cheeses of all kinds and all kinds of lovely booze.
Can’t beat a roast dinner
Scotland has some of the best seafood in the world
@@gongagong idiotic comment
@tom gong is right.
English food is boiled anything. Everyone poops and pees in a bucket is traditional English cuisine.
Even through the food and people are abhorrent still notches above immigrants in uk
Talking smack about other countries because you are from the UK. Terrible take my guy. UK has a tiny population compared to the rest of the world.
Italy and France have better cheeses
Japan has way better fish
Every country has badass meat.
You may not expeirece other culutes food but the rest of the world does. Look how UK took over Indian cuisine. You are wrong in about 80% of your sentence.
Whilst American style “streaky” bacon is great, it just gets over powered by all the fat in it. Canadian bacon on the other hand is great too, but doesn’t have enough fat. British back bacon is the perfect middle ground as it has the meaty Canadian part with the streaky American part too. It’s the best of both worlds
Go to St. Lawrence and get a peameal sandwich. You cook it properly, it isn't dry.
I agree, if you cook it properly. I find that the Brits do not cook it quit enough.
We eat both types, like the video says we have back or streaky, don't settle for just one type of bacon in your life, reach for the lasers.
Is canadian bacon just like the back bacon without the fat then?
Take a look on the Spanish bacon "ibérico", " Torreznos" Or "panceta ibérica"
Canadian Maple cured bacon is something special. What I had over there was sweet and a little salty but perfectly crisp with a bacon fat snap. Honestly some of the finest bacon I've had. I'm sure there are plenty of very cheap commercial knock offs though.
His voice will help me sleep at night lol
Omg RUclips. It’s 3 am. I want to sleep. Why did you have to suggest this amazing video!! Now I’m hungry…
To the kitchen go
Oh wow, I'll actually be in the vicinity of that farm this weekend so I'm sorely tempted to pick up some of that lovely bacon.
If you give it a taste, share with us how it is!
@@SwtTeaLdy please 🙏
If i ever go near i will for sure get some
yeh let us know
I was also very near their last week got covid so had to go home. Big L
I think anyone in the UK that loves bacon has their local favourite but most will agree that we are very very lucky in the UK.🐷🐖🥓🥓
That rooster adding background sound is just awesome.
I often buy bacon through the post from cure and simple its just so good but there are so many other companies making great bacon like this. I love how we call the thin parts streaky but in the USA that is their normal bacon
Most bacon made in the US is made with the belly, the bacon showed here uses the back of the animal and the big piece of meat on this bacon would be cut as a pork chop
@@gabevaladez8551 normally a pork chop in the UK has the bone and is from the lower loin not the fat back. It's nice having the choice of bacon, streaky is nice for sarnies but it's got to be back bacon in a fry up.
anyone not going to notice how cute those piglets are at 0:57
And they'll make great bacon in a few years
@@rampage408 yuh yuh😂
I worked in a place that had personal from 12 different country's with different diets so we had different dining options for people . my fav breakfast was at the English dining facility . fried toast bacon beans fruit and juice
Was it sweet beans 🤢🤢🤢
@@jenniferpalacios946 baked beans and winnie tots
Its just I've noticed and not to be rude but a grand majority of caucasians whether they are from Europe or America they all eat sweet beans 🤮😭 and I just find it to be man's worst creation ever.
@@jenniferpalacios946 baked beans and tomato sauce is better tasting than it sounds and looks, not only white people eat them. We eat a vast majority of different beans not just baked beans, we in the UK have baked beans with sausage and bacon for breakfast as something sweet goes well with pork.
@@jenniferpalacios946 WELL you are being rude! I'm not bloody Caucasian, I'm white British.
A perfect example of British bacon. Makes me feel hungry.
Claudia is a awesome reporter, really enjoy watching her shows. Gratze Bella❤
It is wonderful to at least experience by eye, as I can't travel to all those places in the world, all those beautiful and traditional heart loving ways certain types of food are made in Europe.
This channel is a complete delight and in a way a curse :( Keep it up that wonderful work.
You can’t travel? Weird how the people let governments tell them where they can and can’t go. If they can work or not. And what vaccines you have to take.
Weird
I am with this farm lady. I prefer baking bacon for my family. It comes out great. Great video and I love the young lady from Insider Food. Very charming and great to listen to. Shalom
@ Food Insider thank you ever so much for posting this 🥓🇬🇧
This looks so delicious I luv bacon so much
@Tyrese Pascoe Huh???
@Tyrese Pascoe oooooooooooo shi-
@Tyrese Pascoe why u putting question marks on my comment bro u said bacon hates me how do you know huh
As a British person I thought this was the main type of bacon
As an American person, I was horrified to find out how much I'd love British bacon and gammon!
I was shocked that bacon wasn't exclusively made from pork belly.
Instead of cutting the pork belly into thin slithers of bacon we cook the whole belly, i think belly bacon is a waste of a good slab of meat
Same
@@redlupo6193 toby’s carvery gammon 🤤🤤
It made my mouth water looking at it, lovely.
So glad you've done this video, many Americans don't realise people in other countries have different bacon to streaky. I do prefer streaky... also ... Claudia is absolutely amazing 😍
finally! new episode
Great for a full English breakfast. Lovely jubbly.
I love that even pigs have royalty titles. ☺️😊😀
Such love towards the live pigs at the end of video!!!
I’ve wanted to raise this breed for years! Maybe one day

I'm missing the UK so much...beautiful pork...wish we had this in Malaysia
I’ve been to south Cerney and it’s lovely
How impressive! I love the way they use fresh ingredients, even spices!
The rind in my opinion adds so much flavour and texture.
The rind is teeth breaking. Ruins bacon
Wish I had the opportunity to try bacon like this!
Claudia Romeo’s videos are my favorite.
I love the knife 😍 so sharp
The woman visiting the farm in this video is one of the most enchanting creatures I've ever encountered in my 75 years! I always look forward to her narrations.
What amazing quality!
Bacon is best done in the oven, it’s so good! This video made me so hungry.
U sinner bacon is done in a frying pan with oil
@@biasseddig9665 why would you ever add oil to bacon? The whole point of such a fatty cut is to render out a good bit of the fat. Bacon fat is often used to fry other foods. You might want to reconsider who is the heathen here 🙄😂
When I say oil I mean a TINY bit of oil to stop it sticking to the pan
@@biasseddig9665 happy to be a sinner. 😋 I literally can’t be arsed doing it in a pan when I can put it on a baking sheet, put it in a moderate oven and just ignore it until it smells good. Comes out perfect every time. Try it. Trust me. 😁
@@biasseddig9665 hell no. That shit is greasy af. I only eat bacon grilled
I'd just like to say that we English people actually have every type of bacon. When people say American bacon is different, that's wrong. We just have loads of different types of bacon :')
Yeh we just call it streaky
I used to buy weaners in late spring and 'finish' them on all the roadside fruit (apples, peaches, plums) in early autum. Amazing pork and bacon (cured with bay and black pepper)
Is no one going to talk about how much this man breaths GOD BLESS HIM
If it’s Claudia it’s always a good video js
English bacon is one of their best foods
We have many, many great foods. It’s just lazy racism to mock English food.
Mmmm bacon..🥓 great video.
Hung over from new year...Bacon really is the food of all foods
Bacon roll with HP/Brown sauce...
Used to be daddy’s brown sauce but HP now.

Bacon sarnie with red and brown sauce for me. Even better in a big old baguette
I had a granny & Grandad in Cambridge i visited a couple of times , this being a few decades ago. I was amazed that for breakfast it was bread soaked in bacon fat then grilled/pan fried. I LOVED IT and when I returned to the states continued to enjoy it. But with the health conscience fanatics they were always saying you will die young, so bad for you.. Well my beloved Granny & Grandad lived well into thier 80s & 90 +.
I bet they suffered for years and had an excruciating death

The Sugar industry wants people to think thats fat is your enemy, when that is simply not the case. Eating naturally sourced foods with full fats will enrich you far more than processed grains and sugar infused dairy ever will.
AWESOME !!
As an English butcher. It used to sadden me that people preferred the very lean back bacon. The first time I heard someone request streaky . It was American tourists. I think now , due to television chefs . Using mainland European cuts of bacon. Streaky or the tail of middle bacon has become popular. I prefer smoked bacon personally. Love this show and channel.
That’s looks so good omg
*British bacon. The general principles are the same throughout the UK.
True even in canada
Britain is Wales, England and Scotland. The UK is Britain and Northern Ireland (which is tiny and doesn’t make bacon) she probably mean British they basically the same.
@@biasseddig9665 you think that don't make back bacon in Ireland or n Ireland....... lol.

Take a shot every time you hear “yeah” from 8:29- 8:43. Only heavyweights would survive
They both trying courtesy towards one another without feeling offended.. (Claudia was definitely struggling to eat the bacon due to un-crispyness it was while the owner was taken aback when Claudia only ate the meaty part)
My grandad taught me to never trust a person who doesn’t eat bacon. Best bit of advice he ever gave me 🙌🏻
Your dad told you? He must be a Millenial because the porn board didn't start that campaign until we were children. Nobody likes bacon before that. Nobody.

Aloha! I miss British bacon! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Screw sourdough, going to make bacon at home!
The pigs looks so cute 😍😢 I hate myself when I eat bacon 😥
In the UK we have every bacon....
Back bacon = English
Streaky = American
Middle = back and streaky in one cut
Diced = cubed bacon
We can also get pancetta etc and pretty much any bacon you can think of. Although I don't see middle bacon as often as I used to, I assume because if cut in half you get back and streaky that can be packaged and sold separately for maximum profit
They're also selling just the eye of the meat now and labelling it as reduced fat bacon medallions, which most likely came from off cuts that couldn't be sold as back bacon or pork loin/chops
Somewhere in this title needs ( the best bacon) lol
