I have an aunt who swears by using bacon fat in her oatcakes - but it wouldn't work with American style bacons, so the question is: do you get UK style bacon in Athens? Butter does work, but they don't seem to taste quite 'right' to me.
Ayrton said:Yeah, I know ... and being Grecian's a right and proper thing for them to be doing. I just miss lard, snif.
UK style bacon? Yes and no, although actually I am puzzled by your suggestion (if I understand it correctly) that UK-style bacon would give bacon fat whereas American style wouldn't. Of the two, I think of the American-style as being much more fatty.
And Ishbel, while I have you: would you please tell me the difference between oatmeal and porridge oats?
