Burned. I’d eat it, but be a little sad for how great it could have been if it hadn’t been overcooked. ---

Very slightly burned. But only very slightly. ---

I have lettuce, tomato and mayo that will go well with that. ---

Done more than I prefer, but hardly burnt and perfectly edible. Though I might eat that and make another batch to get it right. ---

Mostly well cooked but a few pieces are burnt around the edges. I’d still eat all of it though ---

An involuntary exhalation… “Oooohhhh!” Set that in front of me and it’s gone! Gobble gobble! Crunch yum! Thank you! Heaven on a plate. That picture was exactly the way I like it best! ---

I like my bacon crispy, but there’s a fine line between crispy and burnt. And it’s tough to tell without actually tasting it, but that picture looks like it’s over that line. ---

I saw one piece that was burnt, but most of it is fine. I want it a bit crispy. ---

Looks like bacon to me. I believe in erring on the side of overcooking rather than undercooking bacon. ---

What a bad, bad poll, Mr. **Idle Thoughts**. The most common answer in the poll is “Ew,” but among posters in the thread it’s, “Overcooked but I can definitely deal with it.” It’s hard to tell if the posters are a noisy minority or the same people voting for 'Ew." An important function of a SDMB poll is to show the feelings of those who don’t feel compelled to compose and post an individual answer. This poll fails. This isn’t some kind of manipulative push-poll… is it? Anyway. I feel the bacon is overcooked but I could definitely deal with it. Having that bacon would be so much better than having no bacon. ---

I wouldn’t call it ‘perfectly cooked’, but it’s darn close. I’d eat it in a heartbeat. ---

Slightly overdone but almost perfect. A great deal better than the floppy barely-cooked kind.
