people are very passionate about their bacon and particularly about their bacon sandwiches ,

we are committed to our consumers and wanted to know what technical advice can we give them to help them enjoy our product ?
and i see no reason why in a few years' time supermarkets can' t stock sow bacon as their basic, value range of bacon. they might have to call it something other than sow bacon; it' s not exactly consumer friendly. but it would enormously help british pig farmers if they had a market for their sow meat .
there are currently around 3, 500 farms keeping pigs in denmark. the number of farms has declined significantly over the years, but total pig production has risen as the size of individual pig farming enterprises continues to increase. danish pig farmers are among the most efficient in the world, producing on average around 30 piglets per sow per annum. co - operative farming has a long history in denmark. the first danish pig farmers’ co - operative, where the farmers owned the abattoir receiving their pigs, was established in horsens in jutland in 1887 and remains the model for the danish pig industry today. just two pig farming co - operatives remain, danish crown and tican, receiving around 16 million pigs from their farmer members. the danish pig industry has a longstanding trading relationship with britain and the first recorded shipment of danish bacon took place in 1847. danish bacon was one of the first food products to be advertised on commercial television, which was launched in the 1950s, and subsequently became one of britain’s iconic food brands. a brief history of the danish bacon trade with the british market can be found at this link .

the truth is that we vote with our feet. while i’m a passionate campaigner for british food and farming, as long as they know what they’re putting in their baskets, shoppers are free to buy bacon from denmark, or anywhere else. after all, danish bacon remains popular, it’s inexpensive, tasty and has a long heritage .
mccarthy added :
our main objective is to get the danish bacon audience involved, engage with the brand and to remind them of their passion about their bacon sandwich. we are using new ways to bring this to life, including another viral campaign as a follow on to last year' s very successful' breakfast transformer' !

today the danes are the world’s leading pork butchers, slaughtering over 28 million pigs a year. the danish pork industry accounts for a fifth of all the world’s pork exports, half of domestic agriculture exports and over five per cent of the country’s total exports. yet the weird thing is, you can travel the length and breadth of the country and never see a single sow. (that’s why the author named this chapter danish bacon, or just bacon) .

about the same time john boyd and thomas lunham boyd (a future bacon - and - ham millionaire) (fn. 61) set up a bacon smokery off peter' s lane, building more stoves and warehousing in the courts there during the early 1880s. (fn. 62) they briefly occupied the new warehouse at nos 9–13, later the headquarters of the danish bacon co. from about 1909 (ills 236, 237, 253). by the 1930s danish bacon had greatly expanded what had originally been the boyds' premises behind nos 9–13 (ill. 238), and become the biggest bacon - curer in the area, having nineteen large stoves, up to 60 ft high, on the three - quarters of an acre site, able to handle 40, 000 sides of bacon weekly. links, at nos 78–85, and another company, weber' s, at no. 28, handled 6, 000 and 6, 600 sides a week respectively.

the results of the research, published on the danish bacon' s web site, came down to this equation: n = c + { fb (cm). fb (tc) } + fb (ts) + fc. ta, in which n is the force in newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb is the function of the bacon type, fc is the function of the condiment / filling type, ts is the serving temperature, tc is the cooking time, ta is the time or duration of application of condiment / filling, cm is the cooking method, and c is the newtons required to break uncooked bacon .

academics at a yorkshire university have spent 1, 000 hours working their way through 700 sandwiches to develop a formula for the perfect bacon buttie .
the history of danish bacon goes as far back as the 1800s. germany had traditionally been a large consumer of danish pig products, but opted to ban the import of danish pigs around the middle of the century. denmark then began importing to the united kingdom, where the effects of the industrial revolution left the country ripe for food import. british workers simply needed more food than could be produced by the united kingdom itself. the dutch people' s strategic economic decision to begin exporting pork to the united kingdom lead to a huge pork industry that continues to be a large contributor to the danish economy .
ideally, danish bacon said, 0. 4 newtons should be applied to crunch the sandwich, creating 0. 5 decibels of noise. the formula uses these values: n = force in newtons; f b is the function of the bacon type; f c is the function of the condiment or filling effect; t s is the serving temperature; t c is cooking time; t a is the time taken to insert the condiment or filling; c m is the cooking method and c represents the breaking strain in newtons of uncooked bacon .
however, tougher competition in the global marketplace may yet cause the value of danish pork exports to fall this year .

bacon comes from the back, belly or sides of the pig and is cured using salt, either in brine or as a dry mixture spread across the surface. then it’s often smoked to enhance the flavour, although it’s not to everyone’s taste, so butchers, meat counters and manufacturers make a point of distinguishing smoked from unsmoked products. meat from the back of the pig is, unsurprisingly, called back bacon while the streaky variety comes from the belly or side. gammon (sometimes called gammon bacon) is the meat from the hind legs of the pig removed from a whole side of bacon and cured in the same way, then sold uncooked. lardons are small chunks of diced bacon used in dishes such as coq au vin .

denmark’s geographical location in close proximity of the most dynamic nations of sixteenth - century europe, the netherlands and the united kingdom, no doubt exerted a positive influence on the danish economy and danish institutions. the north german area influenced denmark both through long - term economic links and through the lutheran protestant reformation which the danes embraced in 1536 .
but this is less than half the story. according to john malcolm, chief economist of the national farmers union, three - quarters of imported food consists of foodstuffs that could in principle be grown at home. there is no innate reason why we should raise pigs yet import pounds 500m - worth of danish bacon a year, except that we have done so for a century .
that said, on the whole, british bacon will have travelled far fewer miles to reach the shop so has a lower carbon footprint than its foreign equivalents. and campaigners and high - profile pig farmers, such as tv presenter jimmy doherty, will tell you that choosing british rashers means employment for the people whose work helps keep the countryside the way it is. that’s bringing home the bacon in more ways than one .
