How do you like your eggs bacon in the morning?


Crispy


Non-crispy


Raw

I've noticed it's another America - Europe thing. America tends to crisp the everloving smurf out of bacon whereas for me that middle picture of bacon is the best. That being said I do know plenty of Brits who love hard crisp bacon like my dear old Dad.

I don't like bacon. It's greasy and fatty, and I can't really stand the smell that it brings while cooking on the pan.


No thanks.

I've been raised on burnt bacon, so it's only until recently I've learned that bacon can taste good. I prefer crispy without any black edges at all. The top picture looks perfect.

[fire_of_avalon]

I like bacon with floppy parts and crispy parts. The top picture looks ok, the middle looks underdone, but the sweetspot is somewhere in between. Mmmm bacon.

[arenzi]

I don't eat bacon but when I have I didn't have a preference either way.

[Shorty]

Floppy bacon. Give it to me.

[Ergroilnin]

I have changing opinions about bacon. There are times when I am absolutely in love with it and then there are times when I can't even smell it.

But when I go for it, then either raw cut really thin or somewhere between first and second picture.

Crispy but not burnt. All day long.

Must be low-sodium bacon though. Regular is just waaaayyy too salty for me.

I love the big huge thick slices. Takes a million years to cook them, and a pack is really expensive (like $15 or so) but omg. Get in my belly. I especially love the black pepper crusted kind.

And yes, in true Southern fashion, I save my bacon grease.

[fire_of_avalon]

And use it to season your green beans?

[Bubba]

FOA has the right idea.

The thick part should be a bit floppy with the small end bit crispy.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Yeah, the combo of crispy and floppy sounds about right to me.

Also relevant to southerners and using bacon grease as seasoning or a flavor adder like has already been mentioned.

[noxious.sunshine]

I use it for that and other stuff..

Make biscuits & gravy, tamales, tortillas, there's a ton of stuff you can do w it.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Bacon. Yes.

I like my bacon in any bacon form.

Give me bacon.

[Colonel Angus]

Totally agree w/ FoA. You need to find the perfect balance for the perfect bacon.

I know this is a blasphemy, but I'd like to throw my hat in for turkey bacon. I didn't think I'd like it, but man is that some good trout.
