Above is a packet of Irish rashers bought from a store that says you can get your weekly shopping for half price. Ask your self how can they do that and then have a look at the photo and guess what rasher was on top.
FIGHT!

mmmm bacon fat
They all look lovely to me. Are you having that?
Every brand does this. Same with all pre packed meat, the top one will look best.
Irish bacon is also injected with water to increase the selling weight, that’s the scum that ends up in your pan when you fry them.
yup tho it’s industry-wide skulduggery, not just us, p*sses me off no end how this practice somehow managed to slide in quietly to become “the norm”, very sneaky and the producers will say well this is what the customer surveys say they want blah blah…..utter kak! next time you’re out shopping have a look at the label on the back of the pack, 88% pork? it shouldn’t take you too long to wonder how tf is a rasher is 88% pork??
the other one that grinds my gears is the black and white puddings…..it’s been well interfered with in recent times, they’ve mostly all moved to this standard plastic encased format with accompanying standard mass production recipe (if you look at the label across some of the very well known upper brands like R___s, C________y etc.) where powdered blood is play…bland bland bland….they don’t behave the same on the pan either (a slice of pudding is supposed to slowly melt/carmelise with a nice savoury crust and be actually pretty light almost mousse-like….but note how mostly these plastic ones they all stay firm almost sausage like and perfect shaped stodgy discs??)
health and safety gone mad + mass production profiteering pressures = crap product
“they don’t behave the same on the pan either (a slice of pudding is supposed to slowly melt/carmelise with a nice savoury crust and be actually pretty light almost mousse-like….”
Actually made my mouth water.

Same. Gave me a bit of a horn too.
We prefer the term socially disadvantaged around here..
Bacon can be fatty shocker! Fat is flavour. Move along
I reckon, the second one in from the right.
Why do rashers come in 5s? It’s a prime. There’s no way to divide them up properly.
Unless there are 5 of you. Or one.
one rasher is never enough for some
Unless you’re feeding 5
What kind of person eats just one rasher!?
Ask yer ma
i always have this problem, like with pork chops, theres always three in the thing. so ive to have one and a half per meal, or two and one. just gimme 4.
this is perhaps the most ‘white whine’ thing I’ve read on a while
jesus wept.
Was he sobbing “I wish I could eat bacon. Sucks to be me”
Nom nom nom!
The rasher on the left is the least appealing. I’d be annoyed if I found it in with the other 4.
Slow grill until crispy, and you’ll enjoy the other 4 more. And next time, buy the streaky rashers – they are far far tastier and not fatty if cooked right.
I thought that too, but reckoned that wasn’t the expected answer!
the left one is the nicest. lots of nice lean meat.
Hope she takes that as the compliment it’s meant as.
Why the hell is nobody baking their bacon the way they should?
Honestly people! Respect the rasher! :D
go on…
Peasant food.
This is completely accidental. Do you really think they can produce cheap rashers on a high speed production line and make sure the nice one is on top? Lack of consistency yes, but a pure coincidence otherwise.
I’ll be checking me rashers more carefully from now on
