Customer Reviews
More stories, few recipes - Rated I am a great fan of Maynard and love his stories but I was quite disappointed by this book. I was really hoping to read more about bacon curing, instead all I got more stories and anecdotes. Although charming and engaging, if you want to learn more about bacon curing you would be better off waiting for his next book which I gather will be a detailed guide to the art bacon curing. Pass the salt please - Rated A warm, heartening tale that reassures us that there are still good people out there. Maynard's story is not one of rags to riches, rather that a sensible, honest and ultimately optimistic outlook will prevail, and bring home the bacon. The story of one man's efforts to make his way in the world, overcoming his chronic dyslexia on the way had me riveted from the start. If you like country tales buy this book. Do not expect perfect prose, but there is emotion aplenty, a few good, literally industrial scale piggy recipes, and a lot of humour - I even had a lump in my throat at the end and was left wanting more. Another excellent book from the Merlin Unwin publishing stable.
