[a completely inoffensive name]

A great food? Or the greatest food?

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

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.

Does booze count as a food?

Beer does.

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?

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.

[Togakure]

I love bacon and think it's a great food. But it's not good for me, so I eat it sparingly. Nothing like eggs sunny-side up, buttered toast, bacon, and half cantaloupe filled with Fage Greek yogurt sprinkled with berries, and a mimosa or three on a Sunday morning, opposite a lovely lady with whom to converse and share the pleasure.

[Reverend Joe]

Bacon? Great food, but not the greatest. I'm afraid the distinction of "greatest" food, at least in the category of bacon, falls to scrapple.

Sure, bacon may be more malleable in its uses, but a good, well-cooked scrapple will always be the ultimate breakfast meat dish.

Edit: and I'm willing to bet all y'all who hate bacon have never had a properly-cooked slice of bacon. In my opinion, at least, bacon should be cooked until the fat becomes crispy; not burnt or hard, but definitely crispy. It completely changes the flavor and texture of the bacon.

I think your more dixie than me :eek:

[I of the Storm]

Bacon's great with eggs, provided it's fried crispy, as the Reverend Joe stated so righteously.

Not everyday food though. Should be served on special occasions only.

[Subotan]

I'm afraid bacon is merely a great food then, alas.
