I walked all the way into central Manly (around 20 minutes) to buy some "smoked pancetta" that I really like. I have the normal problem of trying to buy Swedish/Danish style, thin sliced streaky bacon. All they have here is the British style "back bacon" or if you are lucky all of it in one go, back+streaky, but those are 45 cm long and still too thick to be nice and crispy. However I did find some of the smoked pancetta in the fridge on Tuesday and was trying to remember where I bought it. I thought Coles in Manly as I could not think of any other place so I hiked out there this morning to buy some more for lunch. Unfortunately I could not find any.
I bought some other stuff I cannot get locally on the north side of the beach, but was a bit disappointed.
When I got home I checked out the packet with what was left from Tuesday and it clearly states "Made for Aldi" at the back. So, it pays to do your research before you go and using the famous Swedish saying "vad man inte har i huvudet får man ha i benen" i.e. if you do not think things through - your legs will suffer" - I now have a choice. I can go back again in 32+ degrees with tired legs - or I can have something else for lunch!
