Gotcha
Probably has stupidly high levels of sugar and salt, too.
I had a nice lunch yesterday; fresh lettuce and beef tomato, two rashers of lean, dry-cured bacon in a focaccia bun. Drizzle of olive oil & black pepper on the tomato. Fresh coffee, and a nice live yoghurt.
Healthy, too. (well, apart from the coffee; the way I make it, it's probably got a better octane rating than what's in the car)

Re: Gotcha

I thought it was rather clever, but then I'm easily amused.

You don't call them rashers? Wow. Consider me duly educated.
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

Attrition, I'd think
In my yout, I encountered this proper-word from -- a time before Muricans figured out, kicking & screaming, that the breakfast er break-(that 8 hour)-fast of pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, 3 eggs, fried potatoes etc. prior to a sedentary day of paper-shuffling: just might have something to do? with all those ailments.
(OK, for some.. this is still News.)
Still, with the 700K - 1M+ English words extant, I'd expect rasher of bacon to be among the outliers in '05.
(And only the esoteric might recall a murder of crows .. or maybe just the wags ;-)
Engrish - Use It or lose lots of it, all the way down to Bush-speak or Nintendo-speak, as one's means of grunting approval or dis.

Yeah...here we call them "slices" -- HTH!
Hence, the term, "sliced bacon". The term, "rashed bacon" would be a marketing nightmare!

Whenever we go to the Original Pancake House
for breakfast, it is appropriate to ask for a rasher of bacon.
Here is how it goes:
"I'd like two eggs over easy, hash browns, wheat toast, a rasher of bacon and a large orange juice, please."
The rasher of bacon is four slices of the best bacon you ever put in your mouth.
Yum!
