Which do you prefer with (for) breakfast? Bacon, or sausage(s)?

For the purposes of this thread, bacon shall be defined as American-style rashers [like these](http://www.grillingwithrich.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Bacon3.jpg). Sausages shall be defined as [skinless links](http://images.sodahead.com/polls/003955175/2118174955_breakfast_sausage_answer_2_xlarge.jpeg), [links with casings](http://cached.dakinfarm.com/RS/SR/Product/32/145_R_17f8a52f.jpg), and/or [patties](http://img.foodnetwork.com/FOOD/2003/10/28/tm1c15_sausage_patties_lg.jpg).

Both. When I don’t have that option I alternate. However, if I’ve had neither for a while I’ll choose bacon.
