The different types really confuses me. Below is an example of what I see available where I live. Besides the obvious of "Smoked" "Unsmoked", what is considered the most tasty? Which one would crisp up the best?
British Bacon

Re: British Bacon
This will no doubt get a mixture of responses - I’ve always been a “smoked” bacon advocate, but I’m sure the split will be close to 50:50. As to the cut, it depends on what I’m eating it with - back if it’s a typical full English breakfast but streaky is good for adding to other dishes e.g. cut up and added to a Lasagne. Streaky will usually crisp up more, simply because it has a higher fat content and is normally cut thinner.
Re: British Bacon
Back bacon seems to be the most popular. I find lean back is better for sandwiches and as part of a 'full English'. Streaky will crisp better than other cuts and is the best choice for 'pigs in blankets'. I often crisp up a plate of streaky to eat as a finger snack.
As a main part of the meal, you can't beat gammon, which technically is not bacon because it comes from the leg but is cured in the same way as bacon.

Re: British Bacon
Streaky, smoked or unsmoked, for a crispy (crunchy) bacon roll for brekky
By choice, I would have middle cut for a full English
Healthiest is lean back bacon
Steaky to add to casseroles or stews

If I did that I would eat a kilo of it while watching a movie!
