International Bacon Day

You know we love our food awareness days here in the SK kitchen, but when it comes to bacon we think every day should be International Bacon Day.

The day may already be behind us (it was celebrated on 3rd September), but surely it deserves more than just a solitary 24 hours?

For many, bacon is a weekend treat, after a working week of eating healthy breakfasts such as muesli and granola (BORING!), but if we weren’t watching our waistline (hey we have to try a lot of food in the kitchen), we could quite easily eat it every day.

Quiz time:

1. Ketchup or brown sauce with your bacon sandwich? It’s got to be brown sauce!
2. Smoked or non-smoked bacon? It can’t be smoky enough for us!
3. Streaky or back bacon? It may be because we have spent many holidays in the USA, but we would go for streaky every day of the week and again on Sunday, especially when it is served with pancakes, maple syrup and coffee – God Bless America!
4. Fried or grilled? We know it’s naughty, but fried every time for us!

Aside from being totally awesome (see it’s the American thing again!) on its own, bacon is so versatile. It’s a must when making Bolognese, they go perfectly with Brussel sprouts, taste delicious wrapped around asparagus and do we need to say anymore about a BLT?

So, we’re starting a campaign to have Bacon Day, every day of the year. Who’s with us?
