The story behind this recipe
This is my family recepie that was often made of occasions in my family i.e. for a b'day and especially mine. I would always ask my mum to make extra and then eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner the next day.
Growing up having bacon in my house was only seen on X'mas day or Easter....it wasn't bought often due to the expense, so this dish always had a special place coz my entire family loved it and we'd wait for a b'day just to get a chance to say we'd like to have it for dinner. Brings a smile today to my face...coz now when i can make it often...there's no family left to enjoy it. :( :(..nonetheless...that always has special memories.
