Fans of Maynard will be delighted to read his further adventures in bacon curing. The last of the traditionally-apprenticed bacon curers, the author regales and inspires his readers with tales of
visits from the health inspectors
his colourful customers and work colleagues
his tips on curing, smoking and selling
the burglaries, bungled deals and triumphs
his growing reputation in the field
travels to learn how to make parma ham
and much more.
This book is the same addictive concoction of humour, tragedy and plain common sense, told in Maynard's disarmingly frank manner.
