Bacon poll

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.

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.

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.
