To think eat raw rashers of bacon is disgusting?

As in opening up a packet of smoked bacon rashers that you’ve just picked up from the supermarket, the type you’d put in your fry up, and just eat straight out of the packet? I wash shocked but they told me it’s totally normal and lots of people do it??

Used to love eating raw bacon fat when I was a child / teenager. My mum let me do it but it was the 80's. I was just going to say i never got ill but i did have worms!!

I know someone who does this and he's a total dickhead.

No its not normal! Envy

Greenrubber · 07/06/2021 18:57

My mum does this! She has done for years it's disgusting

Nutrafin · 07/06/2021 18:57

I've never heard of anyone doing that.

Disgusting and dangerous.

Smoked bacon has so much salt/preservatives in it that I'm sure it's fine, but the idea makes me feel a bit sick Grin

What is it with people eating raw meat at the moment? There was a thread last week about people eating raw haggis!

Jasmine11 · 07/06/2021 18:58

Are they trying to get tape worms or something 🤮

KurtWilde · 07/06/2021 18:59

My gran used to give me bits of raw bacon when she was making a fry up 🤷🏻‍♀️

Whyknotwhatknot · 07/06/2021 19:01

Do they think its like steak tartare

gross

NiceGerbil · 07/06/2021 19:01

Raw pork? Hard no.

They must have it confused with cured meats.

Urgh. It would be grossly chewy.

Who is doing this?

I can't actually believe that!

Could they say bacon but mean cured meats?

Envy gross but I did see a child eat raw sausages out of her lunchbox one day.

TatoAndBeans · 07/06/2021 19:07

Eating cooked pork is grim enough. Eating raw pork is asking for tapeworms 🤢

SapphosRock · 07/06/2021 19:08

YANBU. It's definitely abnormal and only absolute savages would do it. Bleurgh.

🤮
FourTeaFallOut · 07/06/2021 19:09

A regular sausage or one of those hot dog sausage? Those hotdog sausages don't need to be heated up (although any reasonable person would).

CaMePlaitPas · 07/06/2021 19:10

I mean, if it's salt cured I don't see the difference between that and something like a chorizo or other cured meats.

BilboBercow · 07/06/2021 19:11

Fuck no, you don't eat uncooked pork, that's repulsive and dangerous

Bluntness100 · 07/06/2021 19:12

The thought of that makes me feel a bit queasy,

TheVolturi · 07/06/2021 19:13

Did this really happen? 🙄

notanothertakeaway · 07/06/2021 19:14

Bleurgh. I had s no idea anyone woukd eat raw bacon

Are you sure it wasn't one of those hotdog sausages that come in a jar?
HeyGirlHeyBoy · 07/06/2021 19:16

FourTeaFallOut two regular sausages, I can still picture them. I was supervising lunch hour, walked past, asked another teacher to check if I was seeing things. I asked the child if she usually got that for her lunch, she said she did and she ate them up.

FourTeaFallOut · 07/06/2021 19:18

Oh man, that's not good, is it? Did anyone look into why she was eating raw food?

BelleBlueBell · 07/06/2021 19:18

What's with all the delicate flowers this evening? It's not to everyone's taste and probably not advisable but it's not really worthy of disgusting, shocking, revolting and attacks of the vapours is it?

Have you lost all sense of perspective Grin

TillyTopper · 07/06/2021 19:20

Are you sure they are not mixed up with prosciutto ham? Eating raw bacon is very grim. I feel a bit sick!
