I've just bitten into my bacon roll and got a mouthful of pastry, and no bacon. So I've looked at the roll to see if the mountain of bacon is inside.

I'm so disgusted with this effort by Truffles, that I've taken it apart and taken a photo to post it here. There is less than 1 square inch of bacon. The bit top right is the attempt at bacon, and it's 90% fat.

You shouldn't have gone to the Truffle of buying it.

Cut backs to the back bacon, told you you should have insisted on streaky.

This may seem a 1st world problem, but it smacks of Tory-ism and is in fact the state of the nation personified. Honest hard working families being fobbed off with greed-driven capitalist chancers selling less than satisfactory products. I can only applaud calling out such shambolic fair. We shrug our shoulders and put up with this derisory skimpflation at our PERIL!

Tories OUT!

Should have gone to Greggs. You might not have got any bacon at all but at least they’d have made up for it.

It was actually a generous gift from the Mrs. She's now distraught and feels like a failure. I'm off to buy her flowers.

While I feel your pain you have reminded me that I have a whole pack of dry cured streaky bacon in the fridge and bought a large loaf of chewy white yesterday.
I'm feeling better already

Without Liz Truss, the pork markets have gone into terminal decline.

Sorry I have nothing witty to add here.

But absolute f***ing state of it.

I get very excited when I see pictures of bacon. Gives me aright lardon. I can't get cured.

On a serious note ( not that I'm suggesting you are not being serious), that is disgraceful and warrants a complaint to Trading Standards (if it still exists) and to the CEO of Truffles.
