Towsti Bacwn a Caws

As this is indeed Dydd Sul - Sunday - and my customary food posting day, I was going to share with you tonight's repast of Sharwarma Chicken with flatbreads and salad; but good as it was, I give you the above pictured; cinio fi, heddiw - my lunch, today - a rather fine crispy bacon and cheese toastie on three-cheese bread. To say it was a tasty toastie somewhat understates the issue, and I think it worth the sharing. The three-cheese loaf was one of Tesco's standard fare; the bacon, again from Tesco, a rare appearance of streaky on their shelves: I still can't understand why people prefer back bacon to the far superior streaky: so unctuous in its fattiness, as opposed to what is often a bland offering of lean but frankly pallid meat. The best bits of the pig are always the ones surrounded by fat or gelatin: the belly, the trotters, etc. etc. Anyhow, I'm now a full convert to cooking bacon - and much else - in an air-fryer. There simply is no better way to cook bacon, period: it comes out perfect every time, doesn't spit fat at you or pollute your kitchen in process, and damned well tastes better, too. Simply make your sandwich with the crispy delights, a layer of decent cheddar, and toast the combo under the grill. The investment of around twenty to thirty minutes is time well spent. Better than any you will get eating out. Win-win, I think is the appropriate cliche here...
