    We as a family had absolutely no money growing up, bacon grill was a staple and I still love it today. My wife and I both earn decent money now but her family had money whilst she was growing up so bacon grill was not on their table! I still love bacon grill, takes me back to being a kid. I call it poor people food because that’s exactly why we ate it, it was so cheap. Bacon grill is now my weekend breakfast treat, bloody love it slathered in brown sauce! Banging stuff 👌🏻

    Fried, in a soft roll with brown sauce and a fried egg on top. Food of the Gods that makes 4 rolls for well under a quid a piece. Perfect for Saturday lunch!

    Hi Gareth, as a master butcher with my own shop, i can tell you that In the trade, Royal Dane is considered the Rolls Royce of chopped ham and pork! We buy in the big cans to slice and sell at our cooked meat counter and sell a case of 12 x 3lb cans in a month! Mmmm! I sometimes cut a couple of burger thickness slices and pop them in the oven for 10 mins and stick em on a nice fluffy roll!👍
    Love old fashioned bacon grill tho, originally made by Plumose! Good stuff!😋👏👏♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Bacon Grill is one of my guilty pleasures too, Goes well with a nice bit of extra strong mature cheddar cheese on top, or alternatively chop it into small chunks and put it in with your baked beans in the saucepan

    Now we're talking, two or three fried slices of bacon grill and a fried egg in a soft floury bap... lovely! I've noticed that bacon grill is one of those things that's gone up in price a lot over the last year or so. Farmfoods do the 'Ye Olde Oak' brand which is only 99p at the moment, much cheaper than other brands...

    me old Dad was in the royal artillery and used to have a stash of tinned bacon grill and ham in the top of the cupboard for "emergencies" and i do that as well. its usually 300g tins of pek and i like asda bacon grill, i get pek when its on sale for a quid and you can usually get it 3 or 4 years best before. They came in handy during lockdown and can be used in salad, sarnies, bunged in baked beans wiv onion or fried with an egg on top lovely

    That was a blast from the past. In the South of England I haven’t seen this for years, but I used to like it. I like the odd spam fritter and my local fish and chip shop use to do spam fritters in batter until recently.
    I was told they stopped doing them because the spam tainted their cooking oil.
    A great review that brings back memories and I used to like frying them and getting them a bit crispy around the edges, too the best part.
    You seem to gave far more diverse stores up North than in Southern England.

    Had a can last week, quick-cook tip, slice med-thin, approx half the block will yield 4 even slices.
    arrange on a microwave dish, cover, (you can put on it kitchen roll) 2-ish mins, flip, 1 min, can even put some cheese on top to melt same time, slide off onto bread of choice, or dice and stick in noodles/rice/insta-mash pot/macaroni cheese etc

    Here's an idea: How about doing some vids on "Rat Pack Recipes", as that might be a fun way to share or even simulate how Squaddies used to make their compo ration packs just a little less predictable.

    Back in my youth, my would buy either SPAM or Danish Bacon. They were OK on a salad or she would batter them and make fritters. Lovely 🥰.
    MRE's on exercise? You couldn't beat Bacon Grill and Compo Sausages with beans. 🤤🤤. I still have an Army tin opener on my keyring.
    Tins of SPAM are going up in price but there're are cheaper options to be had.

Cheapish meal, with chips or baked beans maybe mashed potato. I always breadcrumb mine and deep fry. Same with corned beef 😊 And like you showed it, in a bap/cob or roll. Handy little fist filler.

    I drizzle maple syrup on it when frying, no oil and it's lovely 👍

    The best tinned meats like this is by far the polish PEK brand. I found this brand to be flavourless, even spams lost its flavour these days.

      That takes me back! Growing up in the 70s my mum and my aunty were obsessed with PEK

    That made me very hungry Gareth!
    All of these "meat loaf" type things taste much better when fried, I often buy garlic sausage, which comes as a fat sausage cased in a plastic wrapper from the corner shops, which I slice into thick discs and fry.... delicious! They also do all kinds of other variations like turkey and beef, chicken and spices etc, which all taste wonderful when fried up. I just ignore the fact that it is ALL mechanically separated meat and probably contains animal arseholes.🤣
