I have no idea about Irish bacon, never had any yet. I do know that Danish bacon is much better than ours because they don't just let the pigs gorge themselves on slop. They "starve-feed" the pigs, meaning they feed them a bit, let them go until they get very hungry, feed them a bit, and repeat. It produces a long, lean pig and I kid you not, the ratio of fat to meat on Danish bacon is just about the inverse of typical American bacon. My cousins have come over here and seen ours in the stores and can't believe it is even for sale.
