How did I miss this thread...
For as long as I can remember, we have had bacon roasts at the cottage. You take a slab of smoked bacon, cut it into 3cm by 12cm chunks, skewer it on a hot dog cooking rod (I don't know what else to call it) and slowly cook it over the fire. I add a sliced onion and sometimes a halved tomato to the skewer as it nears being ready. When the chunk is done to perfection, we slide it off and into a nice bun adding the onion and tomato. I am a meataterian (as is the rest of my brothers and sister) and can thank my late Father for it. I remember my dad once commenting (as we were standing around the fire) that this is just like our ancestors would have done, singing, laughing, drinking and dancing... sharpening our swords and axes.
