Oh Gareth, brought back happy memories of when I was wee. . . chips, spam, fried egg, and beans. Never had bacon grill before. Keep up your great work pal. All the best to you and yours.
Ah mate. I bought some Bacon Grill this morning & cooked it in the air fryer. I cooked it like you did, then cut it into thin strips & put them back in for another minute, to get them extra crispy, then sprinkled them on top of an egg salad for lunch. Bloody delicious. Much better than the crispy bacon you can buy from supermarkets & a whole lot cheaper too. Love this channel. 👍
I refer to Spam as Scam ! Spam was once regarded as a poor mans meat and was dirt cheap (along with corned beef) but over the last few years have shot up in price big time. Bacon Grill for me every time, sliced thinly and grilled/fried till crispy on the outside and on toast with HP Fruity Sauce. It's spot on Gaz.
Mate, I hadn't had Spam since the 70's. Saw this and went out and fried some up....bloody lovely :) This is now gonna be a guilty pleasure meal when the wife and kid are out lol.
I'm 57, and had Bacon Grill when I was a kid. Loved it, still do. Love Spam too but do it with peppers, onions and beans. Chop peppers and onions, stir fry with rapeseed oil, add a good teaspoon of garam masala, throw in cubed spam, stir until there's a bit of colour on the spam, tin of beans, brown sauce, heat through. Yum. Great video.
First time I had bacon grill was in the '70s when I was an apprentice at Chepstow. Fell in love with it then and still prefer it over Spam to this day.
This has taken me right back to school days when we had Spam fritters for lunch. I would have to go for the bacon grill as it is much cheaper and you get more for your money. 😁
I bought a tin of this last week it was on offer for a quid. You made my mind up what I was having for my tea tonight. It was lovely with a fried egg and tinned tomatoes. Cheers great video
Thanks Gareth,I always look forward to watching your videos, I don’t always comment on them but always give a thumbs up.I’ve never tried bacon grill but will definitely give it a go. 😊
When I was young I worked in the Coop butchers for a short time and we sold Ulster Fry. It was like compressed ham and they sold it sliced. Then you had to fry it, it tasted great, Gareth, a bit like fried Spam. Videos are great, you do a great job.
Hi Johnel47, I’m 76, and when I was a kid (50’s) my mum used to fry up Ulster Fry , Lorne sausage and egg for our breakfast on a Sunday morning, fond memories of a tasty dish. Was never fond of Spam though,but do enjoy Pek canned meat with chips and beans
To get them out when they don't want to, I've found that just punching a hole in the bottom of the SPAM can with a strong kitchen knife lets enough air in for it to just slide out on its own
Another good video :) Thank you! My father did all the cooking, so maybe once per month we would have Spam, or some Luncheon meat. Occasionally diced up, fried with onion and mixed with rice... flashed from a distant memory. I haven’t eaten it since I was a teenager... but can still remember the scent and taste :)
I've come back from having a few scoops after England game, and I'm now watching your channel for the first time. Gagging for a bit of spam now, nice one mate 😅👍
I’ve never done these tinned meats except corned beef, which is surprising because I survive on processed pig and cow in one form or another. I’m actually going to get on to this.
Can't understand why spam and corned beef are as expensive as they are nowadays, when we were kids we only got a meal with this when the cupboards were bare
I was stuck for breakfast over the summer, so I opened a tin of fishing bait, sliced it and put it on a couple of rolls with fried eggs. I confess that it was pretty good. A great store cupboard standby.
Gareth, I can remember when used to get bacon grill in rat packs and you had to open the tin when you had freezing fingers with the tin opener then cook them in your mess tins without welding it to the bottom. Sadly you don't get it in modern 24 hrs ORP but you still get it in the 10 man ration pack. One of my chefs made some amazing chilli battered spam fritters when we're on Exercise on Salisbury Plain many years ago.
back in the early 80s we just pierced the can with our little can openers and boiled it in the mess tin in the water used for our brew. Then opened tin and ate it right from the tin. Loved bacon grill as much as my SLR lol
I remember when Spam and corned beef were cheap, plentiful, lasted forever in the tins, and could be used in a hearty meal without breaking the bank. Spam is way overpriced, and cheap corned beef (if you can actually _find_ it cheap) is mostly fat and falls to pieces when you cut it.
Hello from Michigan!!! I haven't had spam in years it was a favorite of my grandpa and I when I was little guy. This was the go to snack after chopping wood brings back memories thanks for the video going to try the Bacon grill tonight!
Back in the day I remember my Dad making Spam fritters in home made batter, lovely. Of course you can now buy them made like that. I usually get chopped pork and ham and shove it under the grill . Will try the bacon grill now though.
I always have a tin of Spam in the fridge, l love it. However, as the price of it seems to increase each time i buy a tin, i will give the other a try.
Another great vid Gareth and I'm defintely going to buy some of the bacon grill next time we do our monthly shop, but you mentioned butter...now eveybody loves butter, but the price of it nowadays is scandalous. Any chance of a butter / marg / spread off?
Hi Gareth, the 6 character alphanumeric code (DE 65 EF) in this instance identifies the production facility the product was made in , so these 2 were made in the exact same factory. The code is governed by the FSA in the UK.
@@henryottis295 to be honest I do not know. I would guess the USA have their own governing body regarding food standards. But anything exported from Europe should have the codes in place so for Aldi( depending which version) this would be the case. As for States produced items, I do not have an answer sorry.
I was in the RGJ back in the 80's and Bacon Grill was the best part of any ORP. But it was best when boiled in a mess tin. And you have to be very wet and very very F**ed to love it. It was a life saver. Love the vids. Keep up the good work mate.👍
Ah, bacon grill. Food of champions. First introduced to it late 70's. So versatile, breakfast cold from the tin with a good old biscuit AB, fried on your hexecooker when you had chance or thrown in with other contents for a bit of all in stew. My favourite, however, were the sausages you got in the 10 man ratpack, even better than babies heads. You obviously weren't REME Gareth, we had bacon and egg banjos. 🙂🍻
i do love a fried spam sandwich but cheaper alternatives are just as good i also LOVE fried corn beef you can even fritter it if your posh or something
Well the difference of the pound - near as - being in YOUR pocket rather than the brand-name's pocket is essential at this time - and also you get MORE product! So long as it is OK on the taste test - why pay more? Good review.
The last time I had Spam would have been about 1979 or 1980. This has me wondering about giving it a go, as I've completely forgot what it tastes like. When doing price comparisons, in cases like this it might be informative to calculate the price per weight of particular ingredient. In this case pork. The smaller fractional weight of pork in the Bacon Grill would partly offset the lower price by total weight. And when doing multi-comparisons, a graph (even hand drawn) is very helpful to see the differences, as opposed to keepin' a bunch o' numbers in yer 'ead, wot. 😉
My old mum use to cook spam fritters and home made chips for me when I was a young lad in the early '60's. I haven't eaten spam since. I used to enjoy bacon grill when I was a squaddie between 1971 - 1982, but I haven't eaten that since, either. I've just remembered, I used to make a sandwich with Plumrose chopped ham with pork and brown sauce. As an aside, I worked for and with the US Army a couple of times in Berlin and Schleswig. Due to their idiosyncrasies, we used to refer to them as SPAMS, not the usual Yanks. Do you know why British squaddies refer to egg sandwiches as egg "banjo's"? The reason is rather amusing, but requires a demonstration for full effect.
When you mentioned brown sauce, made me think of a market near me called Thwaites. They're famous for their meat pies and I would get a bottle of brown sauce occasionally while waiting in line to check out. Might stop by for lunch today 👀😅
When you open the Spam, lift the pull ring to 90°, then force it on forward about another 45°, breaking the seam, before pulling it back. Put your first finger through the ring and brace your thumb on the center of the lid and pull. The lid will open much easier.
Alright fella, When you mentioned being in the forces. it reminded me of when going on exercise we used to take loads of this stuff to bulk up are rations. Trying to cook it in mess tins with heximine blocks. As a bloke of a certain age living on my own who can't even boil water i find your channel very informative . And sometimes the cheaper alternatives taste better .Keep up the good work
I always have a tin of bacon grill in the cupboard for when the grandkids visit. I fry it in the frying pan with a bit of lard, stops it drying out and tastes even better😊
Great video. I am hoping to try the bacon grill soon. I am cooking the family a homemade Chinese for dinner tonight and then watching the football, we are looking forward the match. ⚽
I like the Pek Chopped Pork for it's flavour, it is £2 for 300g at asda but goes on offer as £1.50 fairly often and when it does i buy by the case. Saying all that i will be getting afew cans of the bacon grill to try in various ways, mainly thinking of frying and chopping it up to add to stir fried rice. Thanks for the review take care God bless one and all.
Spot on Spam Gareth! I do love spam, especially chopped and cooked in scrambled eggs. I've never tried the bacon grill so you've encourage me to try it on my next trip to Asda. Shame your channel has resulted in an Air Fryer shortage across the country 😊 By the way, I would love to hear more about your days in the force. Have you covered it on any other of your videos?
ASDA Bacon Grill is a guilty pleasure, I always have a couple of tins in the cupboard for when I get a craving. I prefer it to Chopped Pork & Ham, but they are both great. A proper comparison would be between ASDA, Tulip (Tesco) and Plumrose (B&M). I'm sure they are all the same just relabelled. I like it fried on a butty/toast with Hot Pepper Sauce. Yum!
Hi there, another great video like always from you. Very interesting to watch. I do enjoy your channel keep up the good work. I don’t like this product but I did enjoy the video
I remember Bacon grill in one of the ration packs when i was in the army back in the 80's, it was one of the things that used to get binned to save weight lol, I wish I kept one or 2 of those folding tin openers as they were dead handy.
I wondered if you would do this review and I am surprised that there is any bacon grill left, as people seem to buy loads of it. I love it and I prefer it to spam. It goes well with most things too.
Got one for you to try. Buy a cheap steak, maybe the Asda just essentials one you've reviewed and marinade it over night in pineapple juice. Then cook as you would normally. Pineapple juice works wonders on tenderising cheaper steaks, blending up a proper entire pineapple works better but pineapple juice is easier. I've tried it and it really did work. Maybe also cook another one as is to compare. Would make a brilliant video.
I can't say I've ever eaten Spam in my entire life. I may have had some slipped to me when I was a kid, but I can't remember. Nice comparison vid. Very interesting. Cheers!
Oh Gareth, brought back happy memories of when I was wee. . . chips, spam, fried egg, and beans. Never had bacon grill before. Keep up your great work pal. All the best to you and yours.

Sounds delicious does that
in new zealand for 36 yrs now. seeing plumrose and pek names ,gees takes me back decades
Twiddling that key and peeling off that metal strip is SO satisfying - even beats popping bubble wrap!
Oh I don't know about that lol
Gareth's out there asking all the important questions that others are afraid to ask, make sure you give him a thumbs up and sub!
Thank you kindly
I refer to Spam as Scam !
Spam was once regarded as a poor mans meat and was dirt cheap (along with corned beef) but over the last few years have shot up in price big time.
Bacon Grill for me every time, sliced thinly and grilled/fried till crispy on the outside and on toast with HP Fruity Sauce.
It's spot on Gaz.
Mate, I hadn't had Spam since the 70's. Saw this and went out and fried some up....bloody lovely :)
This is now gonna be a guilty pleasure meal when the wife and kid are out lol.
I'm 57, and had Bacon Grill when I was a kid. Loved it, still do. Love Spam too but do it with peppers, onions and beans. Chop peppers and onions, stir fry with rapeseed oil, add a good teaspoon of garam masala, throw in cubed spam, stir until there's a bit of colour on the spam, tin of beans, brown sauce, heat through. Yum. Great video.

My grandparents cooked bacon grill regularly and I have it to reminisce. Never regularly had spam. Always handy to have either in the cupboard
Love your videos, always. Thanks so much!
You're welcome thank you
First time I had bacon grill was in the '70s when I was an apprentice at Chepstow. Fell in love with it then and still prefer it over Spam to this day.
I always have a big smile on my face watching you, Gareth.
I can get Spam in France but it's pricy! But I do love crispy thin slices.
Cheers you're welcome
A pot of tea and a fried spam sandwich, banging combo. Great video as always mate
Cheers Dan
Bacon grill
Definitely one of the best things that were in the old ration packs

Hope you and your family are well thanks for the comparison, I've never had bacon grill before but I'm willing to try it .
To get them out when they don't want to, I've found that just punching a hole in the bottom of the SPAM can with a strong kitchen knife lets enough air in for it to just slide out on its own
I so love spam! Goes with everything
Spam had it all my life gaz probably why I have 15 tins of it in the cupboard 👀🤦♂️😝
Cheers pal good filler
Another great review gaz! All the best mate

Another good video :) Thank you!
My father did all the cooking, so maybe once per month we would have Spam, or some Luncheon meat. Occasionally diced up, fried with onion and mixed with rice... flashed from a distant memory.
I haven’t eaten it since I was a teenager... but can still remember the scent and taste :)

I have Spam and egg barm with brown sauce every friday in our workshop :) Perfect way to start the weekend :D

Brought back early memories of 'spam' burger on a hamburger bun with egg, onion and tomato, sweet and sour pickles and lettuce. Really nice actually.

Yes can't beat it camping 👍👍
Never had bacon grill, always spam but will give it a go next time I am shopping.
Great review as always. Love your channel 👍❤️😄
Cheers 👍
I've only ever fried bacon grill & never thought to do it in the air fryer. Gotta give this a go sometime.
Love your show so relaxing thank you 🙏
You're welcome thank you
Used to love my dad bringing back UK Ration Packs home and having the bacon grill, so salty and good!
Excellent as always. Looking forward to the 23rd. 😀
Cheers Paul
I remember the Monty Payton sketch about spam. Spam sandwich and tomato with brown sauce. Awesome.
When I left the army, I moved to Macclesfield and every Saturday there was a market. The bacon grill was to die for. Love the video
Cheers Helen.
Hi Gareth,I used to like battered spam,chips and beans from the chip shop,yummy, don't eat it anymore,dietary reasons. Thank you for the video xx
Cheers Nicola I've reviewed the battered spam Fritters be in Iceland playlist 👍👍
I like both the spam and bacon grill . I dont have spam often cause of the price. Like you I have to put brown sauce on them . Great review 👍
Me to but it's got to be the bacon grill at half the price
Cheers Sara
Sad times when we have to worry about the price of Spam
Nice crocodile dundee reference lol good job on the video.

Bacon grill for me wins every time that's what I call spot on.

I always preffered the Bacon Grill over Spam, it had a funny texture. The clear winner, however, will always be PEK and chips. My Mother's special.
Mine too ,with pickled onions & beetroot lol
I agree the PEK tinned pork (Polish in origin) is the best. Always have a tin in the cupboard. Just have to wait for it to be on special offer.

ASDA Bacon Grill is a guilty pleasure, I always have a couple of tins in the cupboard for when I get a craving. I prefer it to Chopped Pork & Ham, but they are both great.

Yes John, I did after that video lol
When I was in the T A we used to strip all the 24hr ration packs put every thing in 1 pan and make a stew everything went in was heaven

I have Asda bacon grill sarnie every day. But done in the frying pan with a tiny bit of oil. Love smoked bacon but this is quick and easy.. and cheap

Ello mate, enjoying your vids subbed, we have both but prefer the bacon grill 😋 with fried eggs, beans, mushrooms, etc. love a bit of burn on them
Thanks for the sub! all the best pal
Putting an order in for asda on sunday so will try the bacon grill
Enjoy Stewart
even in my grief you still make me smile x
It's the least I can do, hope your getting through things.
