something that I hate, loath even, about bacon

Wally, you're a hoot, but..

Fair point by the OP. I think Bacon needs a new lobbyist.

I like mine crispy.. not cremated.

I will take breakfast sausage over bacon every time.

Sausage is moar betterer.

I had bison sausage gravy on one of the best buttermilk biscuits you'll ever see for breakfast this morning. Bison sausage is a game changer, makes for a very sweet and mild sausage

This!!! Sausage > bacon

Sausage (as a breakfast food) is only good in gravy form, which is on par with bacon if you make it correctly.

wrap the sausage in bacon, then bake

Ahhh the old pigs in a......pig

I'm going to have to ask all the "sausage" people to please step over the left of the lobby. Someone will be along shortly to collect your valuables and guide you to our "reformatory".

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Then you have no bacon.

And good cholestorol.

And all the sodium.

AppleCare farms dude. AppleCare farms.

While I agree that pork (including bacon) doesn't need to be fried to death, I'm not a fan of the floppy, stringy, chewy stuff. I like it in the middle: Still flexible when it comes out of the pan, but holds its own weight when it cools of 10 degrees. Maillard is a good thing.

i really don't care... i like bacon just fine- crispy, please, since it's moar funner to eat that way, and it's also finger food then- but i'm sick of seeing everyone talk about it like it's the greatest thing in the history of ever.. for me, the best part of bacon is the smell of it frying in a pan..

I like my bacon bouncey.

Good bacon, cooked well = awesome.

Crap bacon cooked poorly = gross.

Simple equation really. even if you cook crap bacon well, its still crap bacon. If you cook good bacon poorly, then you've wasted good bacon and you should be shunned.

Pigs have got so much more to offer than just bacon though.

I have found the thick cut bacon (and I mean THICK) a bitch to cook properly (to my taste)

It's true.

My wife does that.

Plus, there is a very nice side benefit- if you line the pan well with foil, there is zero cleanup.

Which makes bacon, essentially, the perfect food.

I'm not sure what it makes Wally.

I need some bacon.

You should see a doctor about that tic you have, it could be the sign of something worse.

The one thing I absolutely loathe about bacon: There's never enough.

We picked up some local bacon in Wisconsin last week. It was awesome. It was pretty much the only good thing about the whole state.

You missed the Cheese. And the 2 great lakes that it has. And all the other smaller lakes. And, uh, the cheese.

I personally love Illinois' biggest state park

In reply to mtn:

We were leaving Superior and Minnesota headed to Illinois, but unfortunately didn't have a lot of time to get off the interstate. I didn't see any local cheeses where we stopped, I was kind of disappointed because they advertised local foods and I LOVE cheese. I bet we didn't see more than about 50 cows from the top of the state to the bottom. There was a crap ton of corn and soy beans though. I'm pretty sure I dreamed about corn that night.

It was outstanding bacon though.

Bacon is all well and good when it's done properly but grilled pastrami has it beat.
