Sausage. And because of my high cholesterol . . . turkey sausage. ---

Depends on the quality. Good bacon is best, cooked not too crisp. ---

Bacon, no contest. (Unless we’re talking about pizza. Then it’s sausage) ---

Sausage. Bacon is bacon, wherever you go. Every different region of the U.S. has its own way of concocting breakfast sausage. Philadelphia will be really different from Savannah or Denver or San Francisco. But they will ALL be delicious. ---

My goodness. Just three, four years ago, during the Reign of Bacon, this poll would’ve been something along the lines of: Bacon 567-Sausage 2. I remember a time when Bacon was everything to everyone, Bacon was life itself. Every third thread had “Bacon” in the title. Every news item had Bacon in the lede. Hell, I was almost hesitant to add my Bacon vote in the poll here, because I just figured I’d only be adding to the massive bacon pile-on (mmm, massive bacon pile). But now I see it’s…sausage by a nose. Sausage. I’m shaking my head. Literally, my head is swiveling back and forth as I click my tongue in disgust and dismay. I just don’t understand humanity anymore. I don’t understand \*you people. \* The king is dead, long live the link. I’m gagging as I type that, by the way. ---

Oh wait, Bacon is up 22-20 now. All is right with the world. You mooks had me worried for a minute. ---

Both have to be American-style? That seems unfair, one would assume every country outside of America does it not-American-style. And well they should, by the looks of it. Anyway, I don’t eat breakfast. ---

I voted sausage only to even the poll at 26 all - I would have happily voted for either. ---

Bacon. And sausage. And scrambled eggs. And mushrooms. And black pudding. And last night’s mashed potato fried up. But bacon’s on top, because it’s usually best not to ask what’s inside a sausage. ---
