If you love boiling bacon, but you don't like it too salty I thought I might share this tip with you!
Just cook it in coca cola instead of boiling water and it will take the salt away!

Yes, it is lovely cooked like that! Nigella also has a recipe for sweetcorn pudding (see below) that goes really well with it!
Thanks for reminding me, I might make that next sunday!

I have a friend who used to boil her bacon when we first came into the country because she didn't like the saltiness. But she doesn't any longer.
I think the saltiness is the essence of the bacon, so instead of boiling it I eat it with unsalted scrambled eggs.

Every Irishman worth his salt knows corned beef and cabbage is an American concoction. The proper dish is Boiled Bacon and Cabbage.

Ham boiled in coke is lovely, surprisingly, but then ham is nice a bit sweet. Havent tried boling a bacon joint in it - I usually keep changing the boiling water. One of my favourite dinners, boiled bacon, so I'll give it a try, thanks.

No. I think you've breathed too many vapors. This has got to be one of the nastiest suggestions for cooking I've ever heard of.
