I'm a firm believer that by frying one's bacon to the crispy point you give up alot of that wonderful bacon taste. Just MHO. Really I'd have to say a point between limp and crisp is my true favorite but it does have to be thick.

I like it thick and crisp, but not flatened like if someone put an iron on it....I like it all crinkly

I can feel my pipes hardening just talking about bacon LOL

There are several serious medical dangers that one can face with improperly prepared bacon. There is the danger that one would have to consume it all by one's self. The danger of dripping hot grease on yourself and the danger of biting a finger in a rush to consume the evidence. Limp bacon being similar to the finger. Preparing bacon to that glorious crispy perfection and aided by a hot cup of black java may shorten my life but it will be a happy gastronomic existence how ever long it is.

I said thin and crisp, however the crisp is the key for me. I only said thin because it seems to cook more evenly in the pan. In the oven it doesn't matter. Canadian Bacon, fried with some caramelization. I have to go and make bacon now.

What? I cannot select all. What kind of poll about bacon doesn't allow you to choose all?

Cooked just enough to make it safe to eat,and slightly browned.(first time I had it that way was in Italy...but it wasn't "bacon" like we are used to either. More like prosciutto ham)Thick,thin or pieces...it's all good! Any way but burnt is good. Dottie though likes it kinda' burnt.

It really depends on what you are doing with it. Is it going on a BLT....a cheeseburger....a salad? Maybe alone on a piece of toast....or just alone. In mac & cheese, maybe? How about in a bloody mary?

You know you can lure 2D out of his lair if there's bacon in the title of the thread. Now, what do we use for Ken?

Gotta have it thick and chewy for me. My favorite camp breakfast would be to cook in the cast iron skillet 1lb bacon and 1lb sausage, then make gravy with the grease while cooking some biscuits in the dutch oven. Mmmm...nothing better than biscuit and gravy w/ side of bacon.

side note:I am still young enough that I am banking on there will be a medical breakthrough to clean my arteries by the time I get old enough it matters, lol

This talk is enough to make me want to switch teams. (Bacon's my kryptonite.)
I should have never looked except I couldn't resist seeing 2D being reeled in.
It's like slowing down to gawk at an accident and before you know it, you're in one.

I vote All of the above..........
Note, for those that haven't tried bacon that hasn't been "processed" a lot of the taste is in the smoking or seasoning.
It will taste rather bland.

Thick & Very Crisp! When cooking the bacon I look for it to cook down until a foam of bubbles form around the pieces but just before it starts to smoke. If you drop a piece, it shatters...

PERK * & Surprise, Subway has breakfast ???????

Bacon Horders Unite - Every June I have a Wild Pig Roast and with that a bacon fry as well of wild boars both myself and the gun shop customers have gotten, My bacon is smoking as we speak and there will be approx 70 lbs of hicory smoked bacon and 3 approx 140lb dressed out smoked pigs..... some folks bring bushels of sweet taters and yet others some corn......and yet others bring sweet things.

We always have avail the taboo Yard Darts (Jarts), horseshooes, blanket traders, crafts, woods walks with challanges and people set up their tents or just hang out on the land and stay a few days.

Like I said, June, I will announce the actual dates in early May sometime.

Well, goodness. You're in the hospital. If your bacon is smokin' ask the nurses for some medicine. At least a glass of water to put it out.

Alright, we have to have a bacon eating contest at the next Jamboree!

And in other news......

Hospital authorities report that six members of a wilderness group are recovering after becoming ill in a bacon eating contest. After pumping their stomachs, doctors estimate they recovered the equivalent of a 300 pound pig.....FROM EACH PERSON!

LOLOLOL... well the bacon has been smokin for about 3 weeks now.........

I showed one of the fun nurses this thread and all she said was DAYUM, y'all need to cut out some of the pork fat, even if it does rule...... all I have had here is this dang turkey bacon and honestly, it is pure POS.... bad....nasty stuff.

Well some of the guys usually get into a take a shot of beer and throw a knife contest.....most get to about 30 shots or so and they start mssing the entire 800 lb pig target made outta plywood. The beer we have is usually home made and strong LOL

Well, even the nasty all knarled up and rancid bacon grease has about 10% Nitro in it and to render it out, all ya have to do is boil it and filter the grease over ice into a few redundant cheese cloths.....then scrap the nitro crystals off into something made of glass when the crystals are still wet.....once dried, do not even fart around it......had a guy last year put wet crystals into a soda cap lid and placed it down the range on top of a log cut off..... about an hour later, he took a pellet gun and stood about 10 yards away and shot it with a bb tipped pellet. The resulting explosion shattered the log it was sitting on and totally knocked him on his arse...... Gotta love bacon parts that actually explode....... PORK FAT RULES.... B A M
