Bacon is clearly an effective defensive weapon. We need to implement a bacon-for-guns exchange program in America immediately. This will solve our gun problem. If anyone likes guns more than bacon, they’re clearly not a real Murican™ and don’t deserve 2nd Amendment rights anyway!

I can’t figure out how I knew as soon as I read the headline that this would be in the UK. Also, can someone answer this: isn’t bacon in the UK much different than bacon in the US?
Best thing to do. It’ll stop things from getting dried-out and overcooked in the oven, while giving a nice, smoky, salty note.
What? **B**eats mugger? Oh, OK.
As you were, then.

For self-defense, make mine “Canadian,” (and unsliced).

Yes. It’s taken from a different part of the pig and is generally much thicker than the bacon you typically get in American grocery stores.

Normally, it’s black pudding and the martial art of ecky thump, rather than bacon, that Mancunians use.
