Aldi Smoked Crispy Bacon Review

REVIEW

Part of the Chef’s Store range at Aldi’s is this 18 in a pack dried out Smoked Crispy Bacon. Each rasher measures up to approx. 11cm X 2.5cm and are not as crispy as I thought they would be, they don’t shatter like thin glass, but that’s fine, its actually better that way. They do have a strong smoked, salty and strong bacony flavour as you hoped it would be, its got all of that. I actually like this product quite a lot. As mentioned on its packet, you can use it sprinkled over a salad, soup or in a pancake but for me its gotta be good for an American style breakfast complete with yellow as they get scrambled eggs and non sweet waffles. So, I took some home from the office and did just that, and it was perfect…if I do say so myself.

Literally everyone in the office loved this product, its not a new product or anything but its one you tend to forget that exists sometimes. Some mentioned they would rather buy this than the real thing as its just as nice plus saves cleaning the frying pan out. I don’t know about that, I don’t think its ever gonna beat the real thing but its something I’d like to keep handy for snacks…..sandwiches, breakfast muffins etc… I think its worth the money and I would definitely buy again.
