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
How weird am I?
I don’t care for breakfast meats in general. I prefer bacon to sausage, but don’t particularly care for either, and breakfast hams are too salty.
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.
I’d say you’re moderately weird. I prefer sausages to bacon for breakfast. But not adding it to sandwiches? A BLAT wouldn’t be the same without it!
Give you a good, thick, juicy how weird are you? What is that, code?
Silence, Canadian!
I somehow edited out “piece of sausage or ham.” I blame Ottawa.
Bacon is alright when I cook it myself, but restaurants almost always do it poorly.
Bacon is okay, but its almost fetishistic elevation as a topic of pop culture puzzles me.
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.
I had to go with the second one. Even with the disclaimer, I couldn’t say you were normal. That’s just too much of an insult.
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…
Piggy, Piggy, it’s the belly. Wiggly, Wiggly, Pork Jelly.
I use bacon salt on baked potatoes. It gives a little bacon flavor without the millions of fatty bacon calories.
I agree about the Baconnaise being weird, though.
I’ve never been a to-die-for bacon fan. Or sausage, unless I’m having breakfast away from home. Truth to tell, I’ve never been a big pork fan.
Besides, I hate, hate, hate salty things. I’ll have potato chips every once in a while, but otherwise, ewwwww.
I’m indifferent to bacon. It’s too greasy for me to love it, and I find the stringy texture it can get on a sandwich extremely offputting.
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.
Call me a baconista. I love bacon. I love everything and anything that comes from the noble pig but bacon most of all.
Bacon burger, yes. Cobb salad with real bacon bits, yes. Bacon chocolate, amazing.
When I die wrap me in bacon. 
That’s OK, more for the rest of us.
Bacon is not a perfect food. But it’s still pretty darned good.
