Mrs Kirkhams Chilli Beetroot and Streaky Bacon Recipe
Being from Lancashire I grew up on real tasty Lancashire Cheese from the local market. This Chilli Beetroot and Streaky Bacon Recipe is a salad served best with Mrs Kirkhams strong Lancashire Cheese. it is nothing like the mild and creamy supermarket unmatured cheese. You should be able to obtain Mrs Kirkhams from your local deli or larger supermarket. If you like Modern style salads visit our Salads Category or try this Serrano Salad Recipe
