A nice bit of mature cheddar is the best accompaniment in a bacon samwich.

As probably the only vegetarian in this thread, I feel I should say that you're all crazy trying to imagine what it is you'd miss. I rarely, if ever, think about a good rib-eye, or an Ulster fry, or a decent burger, or even bacon. What I actually find myself missing is the tom kite I've never actually eaten as an adult. Fish fingers chief amongst them.

Have to say, since I drastically cut down my red meat consumption, it has become more and more unpalatable to me, so I see where you're coming from.

Bacon however, does seem to be the one thing that tempts many a veggie off the wagon.

I'm a huge fan of meat, I love it, I eat absolute loads of it. I'm making a fry at the minute ffs.

That said, I'm also an animal lover, and I'd love to be able to go veggie. Won't happen, but I like the idea.

Baggy is right though, other animals est each other, why not us? Don't tell me that wolves and bears wouldn't farm their own food if they were capable of it. They're big and scary, we're intelligent. All to the same end though.

I suspect with bacon I was lucky. My mother was a resolute believer that meat would poison you to death were it not dark brown the whole way through. In the case of bacon, this of course meant that if you poked someone with it, it would splinter into a thousand pieces. Indeed, at one point my brother had taken to dipping it in coffee in an attempt to take some of the hardness out of it... When consumed it had all of the taste and texture of ash sitting atop a Weetabix. I went veggie so shortly after attaining my independence from charred hunks of meats that I never learned bacon might actually be nice...

You're making one Hairy. I'm eating one. No a classic of the genre but wild tasty now the less. Getting my breakfast en route between my dentist and the expert tooth puller on the Lisburn Road. My dentist asked if I'd eaten and said to get a good breakfast in me before the Battle of Baggy's Gub. Great lady my dentist. Mind you had to buy a toothbrush to get rid of lurking bacon betwixt my choppers.

Onwards.

Best of luck.

I often feel like watching Ulster is a bit like pulling teeth. So just think of your dentist trip as a trip to Ravers, and you'll be grand.

I did once tempt a jewish vegetarian away from her long held beliefs with a round of bacon sandwiches the morning after a particularly heavy night.

Anything that lives and isn't human, is fair game. If you catch it, shoot it or grow it yourself, it usually comes with huge dollops of smug satisfaction, but buying it is grand. Speaking of buying it Baggy, it's not that I buy shyte bacon for domestic consumption, but rather my job gives me the opportunity to partake in a mid-morning bacon bap from outlets which aren't likely to receive a Michelin star anytime soon (ever). I find it best to go with brown sauce in these outlets, as the bacon, bread, butter etc can all be of questionable quality. Then again, a bad bacon bap beats a granola bar every time.
Liver, bacon and onion, served with creamed spuds...that's what our Pack should be living on. Not those powdered vitamins dispensed in the UR gym.

Had a great meal last night: two different types of spicy dal, chapati, roti and chopped tomatoes(and just a mouthful of chicken. If you're going veggie, go Indian.

All I've eaten since the dubious Fry yesterday has been soggy Weetabix and this morning two perfectly ripe, juicy & therefore soft white fleshed nectarines.

Feel as if I've been punched in the bake but I'm still looking forward to a Jawbax, almost certainly this evening.
