How do you like your bacon?

[Mrvile]

Crispy. Anything else is just plain gross.

 

[Chompman]

I prefer sausage... that sounds bad.

It sounds even worse, coming from me... but it's the truth

As for bacon.... definitely != crispy.

 

[Nebben]

Where the hell is the 'warm' option?

It should be cooked slightly, but still quite chewy. If you cook it until it breaks upon being touched, you suck. Sorry.

Bacon should not be crispy, and steak should not be well done.

Omfg. Bacon. My favorite "food."

I like it when it's on the cripsy side, but still a bit pliable. It should not turn into dust when touched.

Floppy Soft Bacon = Limey Gross Habits! Everytime i leave the states and hit up the breakfast at a hotel... soft floppy, chewy, undercooked bacon... i'm not saying it has to be super crispy, but i AM saying i shouldn't have to bite down and pull to get a bit >_< Please don't equate Steaks to Bacon... seriously, the thickness alone should tell you why. btw i like my steak medium rare, but my bacon crispy.

Agreed, bacon shouldn't be rubber. That just takes the fun out of it.

 

[virtuamike]

In my belly.

 

[Nebben]

Okay, not 'rubbery', but it should have some texture to it. This is difficult to describe. But "cooked" doesn't really explain much in the poll options.

12 minutes at 325F in a convectional oven makes it the way I like it... but that's not very helpful if you don't cook bacon in a convectional oven

My latest grilling endeavor involving bacon

Pork tenderloin brined for a day and wrapped in bacon. Mmmm. I forgot to take pictures of the finished product because I was busy eating it.

 

[Kodiak]

I like it just a bit more than flimsy.

 

[imported_LoKe]

My bacon should always look like this.

Bacon that is black and crispy is gross, but it shouldn't be too chewy either. There's that magical point to where you cook it, in that it's right between the two extremes, where it's perfect.

indeed

i dont eat much bacon though, flavored fat is mostly what it is. occassionally ill have some on a burger, or a breakfast biscuit/sandwhich/bagle but not often

I like my bacon on someone else's plate. It is poison (fat and salt).

Bacon is far less harmful than most of the processed crap Americans eat so much of. But I digress.

Not saying you fall into that category, so if you don't, no offense intended to you.

 

[imported_Mike]

I don't eat bacon

 

[LS20]

i like em all... crunchy... bacon bits... just as long as theyre adequately cooked... un(fully)cooked bacon is the worse

 

[chambersc]

i think i'm weird. i like my meat well done (if it's pink it goes back) but i like my bacon nice and tender. i HATE crunchy bacon...i dont like the taste and the crunch. i love tender juicy bacon....yummmmm

 

[David Brent]

to quote homer simpson... "is the bacon crispy?"...yes...."but not TOO crispy"...nooo!...

crispy but not too crispy =

 

[Safeway]

I like my bacon so crispy, you can hold it parallel to the table from one end without it bending.

you mean floppy, like a noodle pasta?

Eeeeesh.. i can't eat it that "uncooked".. I do prefer mine to be almost crispy, slightly chewy...

but in all honesty, when we're talking bacon, I'll eat it damn near nayway I can get it...

I :heart: bacon....

 

[Howard]

You better make sure it's cooked thoroughly or you could get sick.

 

[Kelemvor]

I like ine so it's nice and crunchy and right out of the pan. Mmmm. I hate soggy bacon.

 

[JoeKing]

Crunchy but not burnt, in a nice BLT with juicy tomatos.


Gah I forgot to each lunch today!

 

[RaDragon]

Crispy. Mmmm... /me craves BLT sammich...

 

[Patt]

Canadian Back Bacon ... grilled while camping ... with eggs ... nothing better.

 

[beatle]

Crispy, just short of being burnt. Good bacon should hold straight when held horizontally at the end.
