If you are following EE the only thing you would need to syn would be the wine

If using lardons - shouldn't they be syn'd as they have fat on? if using rashers then free as long as the fat is removed

Pearl Barley is def free, i've been putting it in everything, stew, curry, soup ect to make things more filling x

Yes you are right well spotted !! Lardons do have syns, best to just use bacon with fat removed
