Cut bacon into small pieces and brown in a heavy skillet. Stir in flour. Add water, sugar and vinegar. Cook slightly to thicken. Pour over lettuce that has been torn into bite-size pieces. Let set for a minute to wilt the lettuce. Serve hot. This was always a special treat when served with hog stomach.
