There could be some confusion here due to the different cuts of pork which are called "bacon" in different countries. It appears that you're Scandanavian and appear to be using "full" bacon whereas Americans only use the small strip bit at the end. The two types of bacon demand different cooking strategies.

I can go on for hours about the wrongness of American bacon, but I don't want to get too distracted right now. Anyway, as an Australian that bacon there looks delicious to me.

Wikipedia to the rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon#Cuts_of_bacon

Unfortunately I have to confess that that was indeed streaky bacon (which would be better served crispy), not back bacon (which would not). But then again, this is just my opinion...

Anyway, I think we can all agree than bacon is delicious?

I agree. It's also brilliant marketing. If you hadn't mentioned bacon, steak and whisky in your headline I never would have clicked and become aware of your product. And yet, here I am, discussing bacon, steak and whisky.
