Anyway in elaines ilegal /legal list she has "Smoked Bacon" thats been fried very crisply is allowed once a week. Now theres been a tasty pack of rashers looking at me when i open my freezer door for some weeks now that says smoked bacon so can i eat this id love to know so i could have it with my scrambled eggs one morning. And does bacon mean rashers or does it include sausages pudding etc,

Mark,

Bacon- and rashers- defined as sliced pork- is legal depending on what is added

to it.

Remember- pork- the meat- is legal. The problem with sausages or any kind of

processed cured pork is what is ADDED to it. Most sausages are illegal. Many

people on this board make their own, but I would advise waiting to do this and

learn the basics first. Many hams and bacons are also sugar cured which would be

a problem on SCD.

It is possible to find bacon and ham that is not sugar cured. I am sure someone

here can tell you the source of legal hams and bacon. I don't eat it so I don't

know.

Be vary careful to read the ingredients of anything you eat that is processed.

Bacon, rashers, ham- all of it can be cured with added sugars and flavorings

that would make it illegal.

Hope it's legal!

Bacon: Gwaltny sells a sugar free bacon that can be eaten freely. The easiest

way to cook it is to line a cookie sheet with aluminium foil, place bacon strips

so they don't overlap and cook in a 450 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes or

until your level of crispness. I save the bacon grease for cooking other things

like green beans, cabbage, scrambled eggs in a cup in my fridge. If you find it

cooks to fast and you're burning it at 450, drop the temp to 350 for a minimum

of 15 minutes. Some mornings, I use the 350 degree temp if I'm going to jump in

the shower. There is no bacon grease mess on your stove and it cooks evenly.

Avacado: there are so many things you can do with an avacado. First, take your

knife and cut all the around lenghtwise (from top to botton) going all the way

to the pit. Twist the avacado to separate the two halves and pull apart. Take a

sharp thick knife (like a chef's knife not a steak knife) and hit the pit with

it. The knife should stick in. Hit it hard so it has a good grip. Twist the

knife pulling the pit out. Take a large spoon and push it between the avacado

meat and the skin until it's all the way under. Turn the avacado to loosen it

and the whole half should just pop out. It took me several tries to master this

technique, but I have it down pat now.

Avacado is great to add to a smoothie to give it a rich smooth texture.

Especially if you're banana free. You can slice the avacado and sprinkle it with

lemon/lime juice, salt and pepper. You can mash it with tomato, garlic,

lemon/lime juice, salt and pepper, and cilantro to make a yummy guacamole. If

you have a small food processor you can process it with a little lemon/lime

juice, salt and pepper until super creamy for a mayo replacement. Mmmm chicken

salad tastes to good with avacado mayo. Just make sure you always add a little

lemon/lime juice if you aren't going to eat it all right away because, like

bananas, they do turn brown.

Isn't bacon with sugar allowed once a week as long as it's crisply cooked?
