Business Picking up :)

After almost 4 months or hard work, trying to promote BaconSalt, business is starting to pick up. A good number of orders received in the last 24 hours, and a good "representation" from the Scandahooligans! It seems that the Danes introduced Britain to Danish Bacon, and now Scandinavians are almost our best customers!

Work progresses on the web-shop upgrade, and we're almost ready to "launch" the two new spices from the "East" - Black Lemon powder and Arabian spice blend - indeed, samples have already gone to a few customers.

Today's customers have also been sent samples of "Amanda's Farmhouse Bacon Chocolate". After sample-testing at the local market, it appears that folks either love it or think it's "disgusting"! So our customers can make up their own minds now - free!

Amanda's off to her evening job now,and I have "screen-eyes", so time to quit. Thanks for the support from all of our customers!!

Christmas Left-overs; BaconSalt Bubble&Squeak!

Okay, we were all feeling bloated yesterday. We adapted the "Lemon and BaconSalt Brine" recipe below (by up-rating the usual large Ziplock bag for a bin-liner and increasing the quantity of brine to cope with a 3kg joint of pork and a 4.5kg turkey . . . . . and there was enough food left to feed a moderately-small famine-stricken nation. We grossly over-estimated what our (extended) family could get through and packets of frozen meats are now in the freezer to feed us for the next week or more (hands up others in the same situation!)

After Sunday Lunches, I always save the left-over veggies for breakfast as "good old British" Bubble-and-Squeak for Monday (and maybe Tuesday as well) but today there was so much that I mashed it all in a very large mixing bowl, added a third of a bottle of BaconSalt, and put the burger-press into service to make 2 dozen B&S patties. B&S made with BaconSalt is mouth-watering - I could *ALMOST* forgo the rashers that usually accompany it for breakfast!!

(Why do Bubble-and Squeak and BaconSalt both abbreviate to "BS"?? Need I say more!!)

Happy New Year British and European BaconSalt lovers!
