Definitely crispy bacon...brown but not black. I use homemade bread but a couple of days old so I can slice it more thinly. I have to admit that as nice as a homemade bacon butty is a proper roadside transport cafe bacon cob. Those I DO like with fried egg.

What's wrong with burgers on the Barbie? What do you guys use? Went to a BBQ last w/e where they had a makeshift barbecue burning wood. The burgers (fresh made at the butchers, not supermarket) were the best I've ever tasted. The slightly burnt outside tasted far better when burnt over wood rather than charcoal.

I was always a bit taken aback when I first came to England, at what was cooked on barbecues here. In Australia I'd been used to steaks.
