It took me awhile to find the mysterious Mr. Baines, "the Brit with the bacon" ...but it was worth it.
Ordinarily, our British cousins taunt us when presented with our beloved crunchy strips of delight. They´ll say, this is not "proper bacon" ...prefering bacon from the loin, what North Americans call "Canadian bacon."
Not Heath Baines. He not only calls this bacon ...he calls it Best. (Unconfirmed sources tell Yanqui Mike that Baines was spirited away from his uncle's deli in Thornton Heath, UK as a child during the Profumo Affair to live in an undisclosed location in or around Appalachia.)
These are the perfect machine slices that, in a short few minutes, become the greasy oblea of a million American Dreams. These are the essential B in BLT, the soul mate to your fried eggs, the very soul of Hot Brown, the stuff that you can´t cook in a crowded kitchen because your pile will be pilfered to perdition.
The stuff without which your frying pan's too wide.
So where do you get it? You don´t.
You get on the list for the next bacon run. It comes discretly to your door as professionally packaged as Oscar Mayer ...by the pound. Delivery frequency is about every 3 weeks and he doensn´t like to deliver only 1 lb. (you´re gonna need at least 2lbs., anyway.) Fry some up in a good stout skillet for your Argentine friends and stand back!
I mostly just munched mine out of the skillet ...but after a couple of BLT's, some bacon & eggs ...and a few deliciously weird tacos made with Pancho Villa's incomparable corn tortillas (Man! Bacon, avocado, onion, lime juice, and hot peppa!) My Missus was ecstatic.
I´m back on the list ahead of you ...so get in touch with him quick.
$55 ARS per pound (cheap), cash, small bills.
Email vingt-cinq-@hotmail.com and tell him how much you want.
He´ll contact you to say when it will be delivered.
