A lot of interesting things are advertised on Gumtree – from an entire flat of furniture to in-home yoga lessons.

However, this person has listed a product priceless in the eyes of many a meat eater.

They have offered a lifetime supply of bacon. The seller claims it’s free. But nothing in this world is ever free.

Here is the full description from the Hampshire-based vendor of pork:

‘I have the life time supply of bacon, I’m desperate to get rid because I need to shed a few piggies.

‘I know it says it’s free however I would like something in return. ;) (The wink gives it away).’

Just tried this for breakfast a few minutes ago. Excellent!

If only I had some ricotta cheese on hand I would have made a nice cannoli filling. Oh well, had to 'settle' for bacon. :-) Thanks for the recipe.

[Slings and Arrows]

So true!

EVERYTHING is better with bacon! Mmmmmmmmm

That would be the last straw ;-)

Yes, I recently made this by request a few weeks ago and it was excellent. I wrapped a fried piece of bacon with parmesan cheese, mozzarella, a slice of bourbon ham and filled a chicken breast with it. I then wrapped it in bacon slices until it was completely covered and deep fried it in bacon fat. Then I broiled it until it was a little more crispy on the outside.

That sounds incredible. I’d wager that would be good grilled.
