I’m with Karen, bacon should be crispy, not burnt to a crisp, but also not limp: i.e. – when you pick up one end, the other end shouldn’t droop. And salty! I’ve spent time in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand…and what they call “bacon” is definitely not the American style. It’s a different cut of the hog. You can fry the bejeezus out of it and it won’t crisp up.
Of course, for the health-minded, the Kiwi’s used to fry their bacon in butter…

The only good way to eat bacon is when it is so crispy, it’s just about burned. Otherwise, it’s like eating a piece of Van’s tennis shoe rubber (not that I’ve eaten that, but that’s what it would be like if I had).

I love bacon! It should all be crispy, not crunchy hard and especially not under cooked and limp.

I don’t like crunchy bacon. I like flacid bacon, and the most important quality in my opinion is how cured it is. I like really salty bacon, which doesn’t happen much with modern curing methods.

Agreeing with Erin, the last thing I want to hear when I eat Bacon is a crunch. Absolutely it should be cooked to a temperature safe enough for consumption, but after that I want that thing to be as limp as Stuart Smalley’s wrist.

Being a vegetarian, I think Morningstar Farms got the texture and taste down perfectly. Try it!

Oh, I beg you, I have to follow the formula every time before taking bacon up? It’s foolishly :) But information is taken into consideration!
