Not just teenaged vegetarians. It's the one thing that most adult vegetarians I know have either given in to or been on the verge of doing.

Giok, I expect you smoke your bacon do you? I've salted my own bacon before but it was terribly salty. (Yes, well, I guess one might expect that?). Someone has told me that if I pour boiling water over it and leave it a minute then dry it it's ok. I may have another go.

The most enjoyable 'fry-ups' of any kind that I've had have been after getting up at the crack of dawn, going and milking cows, cleaning up afterwards, then going in for breakfast. Tastes better than at any other time. And of course, it's necessary to have a large mug (preferably a pint) of hot tea afterwards. That's loose tea made in a tea pot, not bags....but then that's a whole other discussion!
