Personal Notes:
I found this recipe while putting together this cookbook in a cookbook Janice Feyen gave me when I was in New Zealand in 1993. I had totally forgotten about it, and I'm so happy I've found it again!

Hint: you can substitute cooked bacon (if you ever have any left over - ha!) for the raw bacon.
