To think eat raw rashers of bacon is disgusting?

[Latinorapida]

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??

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

Delicate flowers? It is fairly disgusting/shocking/revolting TBF.

Are you just about to tuck into your raw bacon dinner?

Nasty.

And yes to tapeworm. Maybe it’s a new fangled parasite diet, where you aid your weightloss with pork based worms?

I eat raw bacon, its lovely.
Good bacon is the best, soft meat and creamy fat.
Never had worms - tape or otherwise.

Normal?? Anything but it.
Even you were starving you wouldn't do it. Anyone who does this deserves a dose of the squits .

Pork in the UK has been free of worms since the ‘70s. So it may be a lot safer nowadays.

But I couldn’t do it!

What about the rind?!

Are you talking seriously smoked bacon? Heavily cured?

Raw pork is just a no no like chicken. I'm pretty cavalier with food and being fine but raw bacon??!!

'Creamy fat' Bleurgh, that's meant to be the crispy bit.

An ex of mine ate raw bacon along with other delights such as frozen chicken burgers microwaved for a couple of minutes and eaten in a gross sandwich with bug chunks of cheese, worcestershire sauce, ketchup and crisps, usually whilst his mother flapped about screeching that he was going to give himself bowel cancer, she continued to keep buying him these things though! I sometimes wonder if he's poisoned himself yet!

My dad used to do this. He thought it was normal.

My mum, my sibling and me all thought he was mental

Have you seen a picture of roundworm and tapeworm? It's revolting.

I feel ill.

@HeyGirlHeyBoy

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

Maybe they had been boiled? I know someone who boils sausages and they look raw and grim

I've been served frozen lardons as a snack in a Russian bar. It was surprisingly delicious.

I'm not sure I would fancy eating supermarket bacon out of a packet though, in the same way that I wouldn't make sushi from supermarket salmon or steak tartare from supermarket minced beef. It probably isn't fresh enough.

Raw bacon is a bit gross, but my mum used to crave raw mince when she was pregnant.

A quick Google around this subject and it's a firm no, you should not do that.

Boiled would be fine. Raw pork is just a no.

Raw mince is just as bad?!

You can’t eat it. It’s got to be cooked. Honestly the thought turns my stomach.

It is definitely nothing like Parma ham! Google “trichinella”

Omg I actually feel queasy just thinking about it. What kind of monster is eating rashers of raw bacon and just why?

However my dad tells me a cured but raw pork is a delicacy in Hungary. He roughly translated it to fat pork. It’s a no from me. Bleugh.

And to the person who admits doing it. Who introduced you to this? Or, one day, did you just think I’ll try a raw bit?!

I've been served frozen lardons as a snack in a Russian bar.

That’s a common snack in Russia/Ukraine, and it’s cured. It’s not raw. Bacon on the other hand is not fully cured.

@hibbledibble

Yanbu. That's revolting. But then so is bacon in any form, as well as terribly unhealthy, and bad for the environment.

ODFOD 😘

That is an American website. American meat is barely safe even when it is cooked.

UK and EU pork is different.

Scruffy bastards. American, UK or otherwise, ew

Oh don't be a boar.

😏.

So just as bad as that classic French dish Steak Tartare which is served in great restaurants around the world?
