Bacon in South Africa

The bacon looks okay but it’s not crispy because there isn’t enough fat on it.

Well, it might not surprise you that I love bacon. But, it is not all the same. In South Africa, bacon is more on the meaty side and it is more like ham. And it is rarely crispy. [Also, if you want your yolks medium, you will have to ask for soft]. That said, most places in the USA overcook the bacon. I like it meaty and brown.

I used this to advantage when I custom built a “Hawaiian” pizza. See photo below. The pizza is from Holy Dough, the best pizza place in Pretoria (just my opinion). Great crust.
