10 things about the USA.
I love...
I hate...
| 1. | The space. Such big gaps between houses. |
| 2. | Cup holders. Handy things, yet English cars never seem to have them. How on earth do we cope on long car journeys? |
| 3. | Talking to complete strangers. We should do this more often. |
| 4. | My English accent is cool. (It's just like the end of Love Actually. No really.) |
| 5. | The mountains. |
I hate...
| 1. | Shopping trolleys (carts) with the two back wheels fixed in one direction. To turn one around, I had to do a three point turn, rather than just rotating it on the spot. |
| 2. | The 5 cent coins are bigger than the 10 cent coins. What's up with that? (Update: I've just been reminded that British 10 pence coins are bigger than 20 pence coins. Sorry.) |
| 3. |  This is back bacon. No-one there seems to have heard of it, only selling the streaky variety. |
| 4. | Driving on the right. Its the wrong side! It messes with my head! |
| 5. | Leaving. |

I found this via a Google search. It explains the different types of Bacon and offers suggestions for substitutes for each.

I hope this helps you find something resembling your old favorite.

I like streaky bacon.
but I'm not normal
[actually, I'm slowly eating less and less meat. Not sure why.(No that's a lie, but I'm not going into that right now)]
