- John Allsopp just release microformats book http://tinyurl.com/2b6mbg. Looks excellent but 4-6 week delivery on amazon.co.uk? #
- Interested to know how any Wordpress users have Rich Text Editor turned on? We need it turned off to stop the RTE converting div’s to p’s #
- Google = Global. Google Blog = Valley. “Simply text your flight number to 466453″. Hmm, wonder if that works in Cork Ireland……… #
- @imeallach - I know the technical angles on the editor (I’ve hacked it). I’m more interested in actual usage. Who enables/disables? #
- I’m a huge WP fanboy but the Six Apart products are all far superior at preserving user markup in posts. And Windows Live Spaces? Arggghh. #
- Roos says that Martin Carey in Bandon sells rabbit. Excellent. Never gutted one but should be fun. Lovely meat. Ah pretty bunnies. #
- @PaulWalsh - We want to know what editor our potential customers use on WP. If many have RTE turned off then we have no issue. PollDaddy? #
- Anyone doing Supernova in June or Innovate in May? Both look good. #
- Wordpress Rich Text Editor usage poll on LouderVoice blog. http://tinyurl.com/2uk3qj #
- I sooo wish Google would release JotSpot. Using Docs n Spreadsheets to do some mini-specs. Prefer Wiki. Socialtext impressed yesterday. #
- Julian suggests a combined streaky bacon and rabbit come-back. He may be on to something. Martin gave ratatouille recipe. The 70’s are hot! #
- @PaulMWatson - I believe there are several places around Ireland rightly looking at replicating the it@cork idea. #
- Harsh, but anyone driving fast in peasoup fog in Kildare today without lights got what was coming to them. I pity their poor victims. #
- Wife and kids love The Killers. Until now they’ve done nothing for me but goddammit they’re growing on me. Gotta love that last.fm #
- @damienmulley - Blogger Code of Conduct my ass. I have manners, others don’t, you can’t regulate for that. One for emailers too? And SMSers? #
- 3-year old announced she wanted heelies. Got her the old Fisher Price roller-blades with stabilisers out of attic. One happy child. #
- @mattverso - not forgetting Twitter! We could use up 130 chars in each tweet with the appropriate code of conduct byline. #
- No binary of PyLucene for Fedora Core 6. Used to love building from source. Now it’s just a PITA. #

Rashers
Posted on March 27, 2007, by Conor O'Neill, under Bandon, Cooking, Food.
At what point in the 1980’s/1990’s did back bacon take over from streaky bacon? I assume it was all the low-fat food nazis who caused it to happen. Go to Tesco Wilton now and in an entire row of bacon, you may see one crappy pack of “pale streaky rashers” on special offer. Oh and pancetta of course, which is tooooooootally different.
I always look forward to bacon in US hotels when I travel because they still understand the art of the streaky rasher. Ultra thin and cooked till crisp. At the other extreme here we have these monster thick slices of bland minimal-fat back rashers which do nothing for me and are like chewing through a piece of rope.
Catherine grabbed a few packs of streaky in Martin Carey’s on Saturday. Only €2.50 for a big pack. I put em in a large pan with oil on Sunday morning and cooked them slow for over half an hour. What we were left with was fabulous crunchy bacon that made the ultimate BLT. Throughout the day, as we passed the cooker, each of us would grab a rasher or two. Perfect snack food.
Anyone with me to start a campaign to “Bring Streaky Back!”?
