I was intrigued by this - back home in England we have 'back bacon' that is extremely lean. The bacon you get here in the US, we call 'streaky bacon' because it's streaked with fat. English back bacon has hardly any fat on it - just a 'rind' of fat along one side, that is easily trimmed off. I cannot bear to eat the fatty bacon I see here in the supermarkets, but can't find any alternative (except for yukky turkey 'bacon', or canadian bacon, which is really ham and doesn't have the same smoked flavour).
I did a search for 'whole eye bacon' but it didn't come up with anything useful - could you please give me some more details - does it go by any other name? Where can you get it? as I long for a good bacon sandwich, but can't bring myself to put all that fat in my body....
Thanks,
