Bacon poll

[a completely inoffensive name]

A great food? Or the greatest food?

[Legosoldier]

“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.” - Doug Larson

[Rhyfelwyr]

Tis a great food to be sure, but its much better with brown sauce in some sort of bread/roll than on its own.

[Thermal]

ummm, great i guess, i like bacon on the condition

-it isnt too salty
-it isn't too fatty

great in a batch/kobb/bread roll etc. with tomatoes

[Hooahguy]

I am American, I have grown up to learn that there is only two choices and that you must pick one and stick with it completely. There is no third/multiple parties choices.

DO NOT WANT.

DO NOT WANT.

I'll just put you down for "great".

[Lemur]

Just this once, I think the lack of "Gah" is appropriate. There is no Gah! when it comes to bacon.

acin, you haven't bought anything in the last 15 years, have you? Try going to a store to buy a pair of sneakers - or just about anything for that matter.

BTW, I'm with Ares on the salty bit, but I figure any bacon is 90% fat, so I don't get the "fatty" issue.

yeah thats the problem i just hate fat on things, the textures horrible, the feel is slimy, it tates greasy and looks putrid, not to mention cause health problems, and choke you if you have a small gullet, the really fatty bits are my worst enemy, same applies to pork chops

I break shoes into two groups. The one I like the best vs other.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Has anyone previously observed a correlation between the food's un-healthiness and its popularity? Not joking, it always seems to be true. More so with Americans, however. I have gotten the impression that they will eat anything that is 1: fried beyond wildest recognition or 2: covered with melted cheese, preferably nacho cheese.

Heck, I have listened to people who said that fried Snickers (the candy bar) and bacon fried in butter and covered with melted cheese are their favourites. Down here where I live, in the South of America, everything is eaten fried, including but not limited to apple pies, chicken, cornmeal, pickles, etc.

The Onion, a spoof news company has a humorous video on this topic here.

Blah. blah. blah.

Stop diverting the subject AP, great or greatest? Pick a side.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[rasoforos]

same applies to pork chops

Never speak bad about pork chops....never...


And I have to agree with Lemur. There is no need for Gah. People might accidentally choose it as an option...

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Disgusting. Swine that should never be ingested.

[Strike For The South]

I put bacon on everything. GREATEST.

[Devastatin Dave]

Instead of coffe, I take shots of hot bacon grease in the morning...

[Kagemusha]

Dont really care that much about Bacon, my genetic heritage gives me enough of heart attack risk that i dot need Bacon to increase that. Moose, Deer,Beef, reindeer or Sheep, beat pork any day of the week as my choice of meat anyway.

A great food? Or the greatest food?

leave room in the poll for "terrible" as an option. this poll is unfair!

I despise bacon, whether pork, turkey, or any other concieveable form. I do not see how anyone likes the smell (like burnt eggs mixed with salt and roadkill IMO), the taste is just..appaling, and the whole appearence resembles some skunk that was dyed pink, and then dismembered and flattened, leaving a strip of fleshypink with lighter, thin pinkish lines in the middle. don't even get me started on the feeling.

I seriously do not understand its greatness..can someone enlighten me? I mean, is there supposed rto be something good about this odious, and unhealthy abomination?

*rant ends*

You're fairly new here so Im going to let this slide, because I'm beginning to like you. I will not tolerate this a second time.

It's...bacon! Nothing more to say...


I agree with you about turkey bacon tho. Terrible. You cannot call it bacon unless it used to go 'oink' in its past life.

Strike maybe more tolerant of the anti-bacon (ers? ites?) but I don't like my staple food to be labeled as pink skunk.

[Vuk]

I hate bacon. :P

[Fragony]

it's ok but I'll have steak over bacon. Bacon can't carry a decent meal, great when wrapped around goat cheese or fish. Just a piece of bacon, no.

[Vuk]

Turkey bacon is great in a fish chowder, and is also good in egg sandwhiches of different sorts, but pork bacon is just gross AND too heavy.

[Aemilius Paulus]

I did pick a side. It is a public poll. You will easily see that despite my predisposition to consume healthy foods, I voted bacon as "the greatest food?".

[DemonArchangel]

Bacon is awesome.

I wasnt speaking bad about pork chops, just pork chop fat :P
