I don’t dislike bacon. Really I don’t. It’s reasonably tasty. But it’s never, ever my first choice for a breakfast meat, and adding it to hamburgers and other sandwiches seems an utter waste of effort. In short, I simply do not understand the passion of some Dopers’ love of bacon. Gimme a good, thick, juicy
I’d say you’re in the minority, at least on this board. I’m like the dog in the Beggin’ Strips commercial, only for real bacon. Give it to me for breakfast, in a sammitch, or on a cheeseburger. The more bacon, the better.
Yeah, this. I don’t hate bacon, but I only really like it in a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. I won’t eat it as a side for any other breakfast food, and I feel puzzled when people talk about it like eating it is the next best thing to an orgasm.
Bacon’s all right, wouldn’t want to live in a world without it, but (probably because I’ve caught a dodgy rasher once or twice too often), I’m more likely to select sausage when I eat breakfast out. Or Spam if they have it, and corned beef hash often enough to not feel deprived (and infrequently enough that it doesn’t spoil me).
ETA: I voted for the last option, largely because I’m predisposed to think of you as a wise man anyway.
Same. I like bacon a lot. With scrambled eggs, on burgers, a BLT, it’s got it’s uses and it’s fantastic in those uses. Bacon salt? I don’t get it. Baconaisse? Gross, WTF? Not everything is improved with bacon and I’m a bit mystified by the perception of some that it’s some sort of food panacea. It’s like a food turned meme and it’s weird.
I avoid bacon because it’s greasy and it doesn’t taste all that good to me. We were out to dinner the other night and I guess I screwed up by not reading the menu carefully, because my salad showed up covered in bacon. Fortunately, I was able to scrape most of it off.
I don’t get the manic obsession with the stuff. Each to his own, I guess…
The occasional strip of bacon is ok, I guess. I usually take it off any hamburger or sandwich I eat though. I don’t like BLT’s, either. Ugh. And the smell of stale bacon grease. Ick.
