So following a random mid-week tweet I became aware of https://piggery-smokery.co.uk/ . You can read their back story for yourself. They are up near Foz so I will await the “That’s my mate / brother in law / ex colleague / secret lover” response.
So I had to. Because bacon.
I use a local butcher for ours normally - can’t stand the (invariably) water injected supermarket pish that excretes jizz in the pan, so my normal reference point is pretty high.
Nicely packed (yeah yeah) but when you open it the smell of smoke from the packing hits you in seconds. Mmmmm. This is a good introduction

It’s going to take some planning to get what you want. For this order I managed to grab the last packet of maple cured back bacon, a pack of streaky treacle cured (I don’t usually do streaky but it was the only option) and some of their n’duja paste.



Opened the streaky treacle stuff this morning. Tattie scone, bacon, proper farm free range egg.
All I can say is

I have no idea if this is normal / abnormal / first-order bonus or what, so your experience may vary, but this was included. No hints or tips. Just a number and a request for feedback. So this may be a family palate test laterz.....


And I’ll tag [mention]Nefarious[/mention] as this might interest him...?
