My limited experience of shopping for food in Zurich leads me to believe that I'm (again) moving to a bacon desert. True?

How much can one bring in across the border, assuming there is a limit (I vaguely remember reading something about it here)?

A bit slow tonight, friends have used it but not me.
I'm not associated with it.

IIRC, it's a 500g per person over the border.

Despite not being able to get thick cut organic Wiltshire bacon, you can get Canadian style smoked streaky bacon in Coop.

Thanks folks!

/me drools over bacon photos

My solution to the lack of back bacon thus far has been to pick up a chunk of "Rippli" in Coop, slice that as you like it and voila. Looks like bacon, tastes like bacon, I reckon you can call it bacon

I found COOP useful too... still miss my bacon butties after the 9th hole on the morning round of golf...

Thumbs up,

very good. . . .

--10 years here and it's the best "english bacon" I've had, nuff sed - -

I'v heard it said that Migro offer 'English Bacon' on their home delivery website... or perhaps its the co-op. Thats another price we have to pay for living in CH. No decent 'Greasy spoons'.

It is pants

Oo! www.le-shop.ch via Migros. And the whole thing is in English, too. "British bacon (made in Switzerland)"

Gawd, I hope not. The last thing I need is the neighbourhood mutts sniffing around my nether regions.

Thought it might be... probably wafer thin and tasting of old car tires.

I've some Brit bacon in the freezer from my last jolly back to blightly

Send your offers on a postcard, no time wasters please...

Don't forget we need the HP Sauce as well - just to give it that British taste - as most of the Bacon in UK is Danish !!

Surely we need Danish Bacon for the British (Made in Switzerland)

Ah ha. I have some of that as well.

I'm enjoying this thread....

if you order from this "over the rainbow" how do they deliver and how long do deliveries usually take ( I'm having visions of week old sausages in the post )

I've never had a problem with their products, service or delivery....

I'd rather enjoy a bacon sarny

Anyway, having been out of the UK for over six years I've forgotten what decent bacon tastes like, so I guess even the stuff that tastes like "pants" will be heaven.

me too, just placed an order
