Bacon Overrated?

[Psycho]

Everyone seems to LOVE bacon, whether it be BLTs or bacon by itself. But looking at bacon - it's gone in like 2 bites, and its texture is hard and crumbly. Do you think people rate bacon too highly?

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...]

bacon is nice.

I never cared for bacon that much, and it always overpowered whatever it was on, so it was pointless to be in a dish where you wanted to enjoy the other flavors with it, like a chicken sandwich. What’s the point of chicken if all I taste is bacon?

I never cared much for steak either and I’m truly perplexed by people who say it’s their favorite “food.” I always told people I’d rather pineapple than steak.

Anyway, I’m vegan now.

Depends. In certain Muslim countries it´s quite underrated. Somehow nobody seems to like it. Also it count as not very kosher. And certain others dislike eating meat in general. The other extreme. Usually a good middle ground is the healthy approach.

Also You can get much bigger slices, and then grill it. Or do a roasted pork belly, which You cut into slices after it´s prepared...

I stopped eating pork a long time ago.

Bacon is the one and only thing about it I miss. Even still, it'll tempt me.

hard and crumbly bacon is just too dried up, freshly cooked bacon is godly

I knew it was a wrong thread to read with empty fridge.

Yes. Brisket is much better.

Sausage is better, And pork-chops. And ham.

Bacon is like flakes of cereal, where sausage is like a full loaf of bread.

A medium-rare dry-aged bone-in ribeye is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. Add to that some roasted brussels sprouts with bacon lardons. And a dirty vodka martini with three olives.

Bacon is not overrated in my book. I love a bite of sizzling crispy bacon in the morning.

smoked fried hot sausage

[Incarnate]

It's fried fat. Basically the crappiest cut of meat off the pig beside the feet.

I agree it sucks, but I think we're in the tiny minority. People love crispy, greasy crap.

Never Shame On You!

just a little, little too salty, not enough meat

but with egg and bread it is ok for breakfast

bacon is also awful to cook. And it curls and all sorts of non-sense.

Sasuage and everything else is easy, And filling. Bacon isn't filling.

It depends on the kind of bacon and how you prepare it. Honestly a large portion of the world do not know what they are missing.
