Whilst walking up the aisle the other day, in a stately fashion, the noble eye caught sight of bacon rashers - or Pancetta, as they were called - on the top shelf. Timothy Belmont likes a good, crispy, rasher or two from time to time.
These rashers were by royal appointment, no less, the company being Richard Woodall in Cumbria. They are called "Smoked Dry Cure British Pancetta".
I am in no doubt that Her Majesty prefers the regal rasher to emanate from Home Farm at Sandringham; and Prince Charles insists on Highgrove Duchy pork products. Still, the Warrant is from the Master of the Household; so, perhaps, Woodall's is used elsewhere in the royal household. I wonder what bacon is used at Hillsborough Castle when Royalty is staying?
We have put the Woodall's rashers in the freezer, at any rate. Has anyone tried them yet?

George Streatfield who has Denhay farms in Dorset makes the Duchy Bacon.
His sister lives in Ballynahinch and is married to Eric Smiley, ex Irish olympic horseman.
