In Britain, what kind of meat comes in rashers?
Correct answer: Bacon
LaContessa
Not really an accurate description of British bacon as it can also be in strips. It just depends whether you're buying back bacon or streaky bacon, and neither of them are round anyway. Photo made me hungry. 😀

There are so many variety in English bacon that description is gammon.

Served in 'round slices' indeed Oh please! Good job can double check the write up with a London (UK) born and bred person cos yet to see a round bacon served as 'traditional UK English breakfast' *roll eyes*

Player #3235803, .....and where do they get the idea that we British dont tend to eat smoked bacon? There is always a choice of both in the supermarkets.

I have lived in Britain for over 60 years and have Never seen a round rasher of bacon!
Player #3235803
LaContessa, wether streaky or back bacon it is still rashers cos rashers are long not round.

Not accurate we can get different types of bacon in the UK, there's back bacon, streaky bacon, and then there's Middle Bacon - which looks a bit like both put together, which is much more rounder than anything else... Oh, and then there's the medallions, which are also circle

Player Kevin, I think they're describing Gammon rather than Bacon
kiki
LaContessa, that's what I thought. I think they're describing Gammon, rather than Bacon.

LaContessa, As Brits we are seeing descriptions of what we have from an American point of view. The apps where that can be tough are language learning apps such as Duolingo. One has to learn 2 languages at once!

Player #3235803,
Rashers are long , medallions are round
Player #25874027
Player #3833664,
I often eat round bacon . It is sold as bacon medallions and is the rasher with all the fat removed .
Slightly healthier

Not an accurate description of the bacon we eat in Britain.

As a Brit we don't have round bacon that's gammon. Also we have smoked and none smoked. Also streaky and normal bacon. I don't know where they get this from. The bacon in the picture is what we usually eat
My_Dog♥️

Fred
Phadraiga, roast til crispy then have with mash, gravy and vegetables
Player #25188080
"middle" bacon you can get in Scotland is round
Player #25586753
So what do they call it over in the U.S?
lemoniser
Yep British bacon is in thin slices and you've described gammon there
Player #21771764
depends on the thickness and how you cook it!
Player #21765752
NOT nesseserelly
Player #15964831
nonsense. UK rashers are strips of bacon like the US version. Bacon medallions are round.

Phadraiga, we use them as belly slices, roughly the same length as regular bacon but about 12 times thicker.
Player #15759857
i never ate bacon
Crown Joolz
Phadraiga, I've never heard of anyone in England talking about "pork bellies" in my 48 years. In fact, I'm about to Google it.
Player #8297262
unsmoked and green bacon are 2 different things.
reclusivesavyigloo
So to offer a different kind of pork American delicatessens should do it and please our Brit ex-pats.
RedSeaDiver69
We also eat streaky bacon from the belly in the UK. Most of the bacon here is cured by using nitrites, but there is research which shows that this could contribute to developing cancer, so I don't eat much of it these days

SlowGuacamole73561, should try before you knock it
