Bacon, 9 times out of 10.
If bacon were to disappear, I’d miss it sorely.
If sausage were to disappear, meh. It gives me acid reflux anyway.
Bacon is overrated. Sausage forever.
And yet it still all tastes like bacon with slightly different spices. Look, I make my own bacon from time to time, so I like it well enough. It doesn’t hold a candle to the wonderful varieties of sausages there are out there.
Look, I love sausage, too. I know it comes in greater varieties of spices than bacon does, but it all tastes like sausage with different spices in it, no? Granted, sausage can be made from a variety of meats, but when the spices don’t dominate, it usually just tastes like a grease tube.
Really, I just think your statement sold bacon short. It does have variety, even if it’s always the same cut of the same animal.
Yeah, we’ll just agree to disagree here. It’s not spicing, there’s just a whole wide range of sausages even with the same spicing. To me, bacon all tastes pretty similar. I’m not trying to be contrarian. I really don’t get the obsession with bacon. Even BLTs I don’t get. I actually don’t like BLTs. I feel like they need something else on them, like turkey. It’s just such an unsatisfying sandwich. Even bacon on burgers turns me off. The problem with bacon, for me, is that it just makes everything taste overwhelmingly of bacon. I understand that for most people this is a feature, not a bug.
But I do like bacon as an ingredient for frying onions in and stuff like that. I’d say if I can just buy bacon fat in jars, that’s what I’d go for. That’s my favorite use for the stuff.
Impossible to answer… it depends on my mood, and where I am. I’ve had both amazing bacon and sausage. If I’m going to the generic buffet I’m more likely to pick the bacon… If I’m going somewhere that I’ve heard has some kind of unique duck sausage I’ll be first in line to try it. I guess what it comes down to is I’ve never have very bad bacon, but I have had some awful sausage… but on the positive spectrum, I probably prefer the best sausage I’ve had to the best bacon.
How’s that for a wishy-washy answer.
In order,
Meaty bacon, preferably cottage style, but quality streaky (what you call American style) works too.
Sausage with casings
Cheap streaky

oooh, yeah…I see. I probably eat a bacon sandwich (no L, no T, possibly mustard) about once every two weeks. Same planet, different worlds. More for each of us, I suppose.
It’s odd how I think bacon makes most foods better, but, when it comes to breakfast, I’ll pick sausage over bacon if I can only have one. I think it’s because sausage is much more spiced, and thus goes better the bland eggs.
Both. Today’s (Saturday’s) brunch was an omelette with cheddar, sausage, bacon, potato, cracked pepper, garlic and paprika.
Well, woman is the sweetest fruit
that God ever put on the vine.
I’d no more love just one kinda woman
than drink only one kind of wine.
Same goes for breakfast meats.
Bacon, of course. It’s best not to ask what goes into a sausage.
Well…it depends…Killed a ferral pig number of years ago and had the butcher make breakfast patty sausage, hands down the best I have ever had. Not killed a pig lately so out of sausage so its bacon, stater brothers or Von;s butcher cut thick bacon solomente!!
