Audrey Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I like my bacon medium crisp. I don't like it so crisp it crumbles into dried out little bits, but I don't like it floppy either. I do like bacon. We even raise our own hogs and my dh has the most wonderful smokehouse where he will cure and smoke all kind of pork. But I'm kind of grossed out by the trend I see on US cooking shows of bacon-ifying everything. It starts to become such an overload. I watch a lot of UK and Aussie cooking shows, too, (and Canadian ones, of course) and I don't see the trend there. I don't know quite why it has become such a trend. That really puzzles me. I have a hard time understanding the point of some of the dishes, unless the point it simply to consume as much bacon as possible in one dish. I saw one show where they made a bowl of bacon and filled it with a bacon macaroni and cheese that had at least as much bacon in it as macaroni. It was then topped with bacon curls. The sight and thought of it made me want to hurl, despite the fact that I do like both bacon and macaroni and cheese. So, I am a bacon moderate, I think. Bacon as a modest side with eggs or waffles is good. Bacon as a flavouring to other dishes or even wrapped to encase a modest piece of chicken or such is fine, but eating pounds and slabs worth of bacon? No thank you.

Onceuponatime Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'm with Audrey. Yesterday on facebook someone posted a picture of a "gluten free salad." It was a bowl of bacon. I get that it's a joke, but the joke is getting old. When I have them, I like bacon and eggs together. The bacon should be chewy but not flabby. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmiraGulch Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Now you're just trying to steal my thunder. Bacon always beats eggs. I do love the bacon, but I like good bacon. Some of it is gross. I also like it best on a sandwich, with tomato and mayo. Preferably white bread. In fact, I've just decided that's what I'm having for dinner tonight. I don't get the trend of bacon on every single thing. I do like it as a salty complement to non-salty food. Bacon-wrapped dates? Yes, please. Bacon with soft white bread? Indeed. Bacon on a burger? Not for me. Too much salt. I like complementary flavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like good Bacon as well that is why I love living in the heartland! I am always shocked to hear from city people who drive out to my teeny tiny town just to visit the butcher and buy Bacon and other meat. But I have to agree that the Bacon is wonderful! I have never had or even heard of Bacon wrapped dates. I generally do not have teA on the first date but I have never had a date wrapped in Bacon.

Pawz4me Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 What Audrey said -- I don't really get the obsession with bacon, either. We have BLTs once every two or three weeks. And when we're in the RV and have time we do eggs and bacon on the grill for breakfast. But that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Eggs. In my defense my girls lay really, really great eggs. Bacon takes too long to cook, and I'm pretty happy with a nice egg and a bit of toast. When I have bacon it needs to be really crisp.

MistyMountain Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I was a vegetarian for a while but I now eat poultry and fish at times. I do not eat pork at all so I don't eat bacon but even before I was a vegetarian I did not like bacon. I can't stand the texture or the taste of it. I did end up liking turkey bacon because the texture is very different. I am not big on breakfast food but if I had to pick a breakfast food and english muffin with a fried egg that is not overcooked would be my choice.

jewellsmommy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Bacon. Fully cooked but chewy-ish, not crumbly/burnt. ETA: if I'm going to have eggs, then I want them with cheese, spinach, and garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I love real pork bacon but rarely eat it these days for health, budget, and environmental reasons. I mostly use it as flavoring for split pea or other bean soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenvneck Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Everyone except me in my house is vegetarian, but I don't like bacon even though I eat meat.

Chris in VA Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I love bacon! But I agree with limiting it. We didn't get any bacon for 3 months last summer while living in Israel. Guess who cruised thru an entire package of it upon returning? (Had help from dd...) I like it crunchy. My dad used to take a piece of bread and dip it in the bacon fat in the pan--eww.
