    It's a rare thing in the UK any more, but when I was growing up (30 years ago) it was possible to get middle bacon - where the belly is left attached to the loin and folded over.
    Also, smoked bacon in the UK tends to be cold smoked, so it still has the flavour but the meat is uncooked (similar to smoked salmon), and requires grilling or frying.

Yes I had to order it and wait but it was better than doing it online I actually got to talk to somebody in person. In my opinion the best recipes in the world are in this book and I suggest to anyone grab it and try making your own bacon or ham or pancetta if you have the room.
