I tried your crispy bacon when I was in America just outside Las Vegas (Loughlan I think it was called) it was like burnt grease proof paper, the only holiday I have been on where I have lost weight, I know I should not judge America just by that area but the best meal was a Pizza Hut takeaway Pizza
American bacon in general is not very good.. which always amazes me how many yanks love bacon-everything. I keep thinking, I wonder what it would be like if they tried the good stuff... I'm being harsh, you can get good bacon at specialty butcher shops- but those are really rare over here.
Must have been bad food in that area if the best was Pizza Hut! Granted, I haven't set foot in one for a decade, but I've always found Pizza Hut to be one of the worst pizza places. Maybe they've improved.
