What you Brits call bacon is not really a bacon. Too much protein, not enough fat. This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon#/media/File:Speck-1.jpg is a bacon ;)

Quite.
That is fat with a hint of food attached to it. The very idea of streaky bacon turns my stomach now, it's just fat and the idea is disgusting.

Do you know why fat disgusts you, or it subconscious?
Butter, bacon, rib eye, dairy cream...they sound so delicious.
Unhealthy? Maybe. But not more than soda, pixie sticks, etc. Seeing those doesn't turn my stomach; it just makes me sorry for the poor pancreases.

How do you feel about a ribeye steak?
Is there a lot of fat on it? The more fat I have to cut off of it, the more unappetizing it becomes. I want meat to be as lean as is physically possible.
If I eat gobs of fat, I get nauseous, (gross stuff coming up) the same way you so when you have a horrible cold and a tonne of mucus dripping down the back of your throat and into your stomach.
