I know your query is amonth old but i just caught up. There is some wonderful new bacon in the stores that is called "Bacon the Way it Used to Taste" No water, no sugar and it crisps up really well. I think it is Huttons but will have to wait untuil i go the supermarket again and I will let you know.
This is available in Dunedin New World so you might have to ask your supermarket about it. Eebee
