    Bump to follow. I have done this experiment with eggs, (not scientifically just observationally) only to find that home-collected eggs from my friends chickens tasted better and were free. Shop bought eggs were larger, looked nicer when cooked, but obviously depending on brand were £ or ££.

    Great idea OP, one has to be happy with ones choice of bacon!

    If the cheaper bacon ends up loosing more fat into the pan, just get a big piece of bread and soak it up. Nom nom nom

    Or an oatcake!!! :smile:

    you contradict yourself when you say leaner and more flavour.

    people know that the flavour of meat is in the fat. why do you think the "well marbled" steaks are the expensive and most sought after.

    Yes, this is true. A better steak has more marbling. The flavor is in the fat. That's why, as a general rule, a good beef steak has more flavor than venison. They fatten cows. Wild critters are lean.
    BRING US THE RESULTS ALREADY !

    interested!

    i'm not a massive fan of the american bacon I have sampled. it was so thin and crunchy and flavourless. Plz tell me its not all like that and I was just given horrible stuff.

    You were given horrible stuff. I buy thick center-cut bacon because it's the closest thing I can find to what my grandparents used to make at the farm.
