i should just point out that that traditional "irish" breakfast is also a scotch and full english with some carful editing (the inclusion of haggis and lorne sausage for the scotch the addition of more fat for the full english)
Fry bacon with garlic until the bacon is cooked but soft. Wrap bacon around a small piece of cheese. Return to pan and fry a minute longer. You want to crisp the bacon but not lose the cheese. Remove from pan and drain for a minute. Coat bacon & cheese cubes in batter. I used french toast batter but you can use any batter you like. Deep fry or finish frying in the fat remaining from the bacon frying earlier.
I have been an involuntary psuedo-vegetarian for over twenty years and sadly, nothing can replace the sensual magic of bacon. On my death bed I will eat a bacon and steak hoagie, deep fried and served with a side of cream gravy.
I have driven over an hour (almost) solely for bacon. Some places around here do it up alright, but the best bacon I have found is used at Bob Evans. unfortunately, the two nearest B.E.'s are at least an hour away (west for one, south for another). But I am willing to drive there for it. Because it is awesome.
My brother and his wife went to Sodolak's once and said it was great, though they didn't try the deep fried bacon. Living in northwest Houston, I might be one of the only guys on this board with the opportunity and inclination to try this place out. Anyone been there?
At first I thought this thread might be about the work of Francis BACON... it isn't and I'm sad. No opinion really on bacon from a pig. It is what it is. With breakfast I'd likely choose sausage. BLT's are good though!
