Oh.

Streaky bacon is way better than back. And for Americans who I think call them differently things I mean

I think the closest we have in Italy is pancetta?

No real argument except I would clearly place duck bacon above either of those.

For us pancetta is like thicker, fattier streaky, usually diced. And probably saltier. I think.

Yeah, never did understand why people can't dice their own. It takes 10 secs and you don't get charged a premium.

You can have thick or thinner slices depending on what you ask the butcher for.

Definitely saltier. Not necessarily in a bad way.

Define small.



Cut lengthwise a duck bacon rasher is 10-20% shorter than a regular slice but it is least 50 % meatier than a streaky rasher with none of the dryness one gets from back bacon. Additionally the rich/ delicious factor of duck bacon trumps all.
