I'm jealous.
Of you for having bacon, and of the bacon for being in your mouth.

I love bacon
what I find most ridiculous about the badly treated animals is that they don't taste good, or as you pointed out, of anything. Or they shrivel up to nothing when cooked.

it's shit

Did you see Hestons programme on how much water you can pump into a chicken breasts
you can literally double the size and weight of it and it all just steams out when you cook it.

I did not see that
it doesn't surprise me though.

I mostly use chicken thighs these days unless the recipe specifically calls for a whole breast. Tastier and cheaper.

I would
but mrs al says they are too fatty. I personally don't get this, but she's all about the healthy eating.

I've found that it is possible to remove the fat from them
the extra tastiness and extra cheapness more than makes up for the extra effort required to remove the fatty bits

They have double the taste of breast, eh?

I was talking qualitatively
not quantitatively.

Proper chicken
has about half the fat of cheap ones, so Mrs Al would be OK with thighs if the meat is free range.

FACT.
