bacon: do you like it crunchy?
I like my bacon well done and very crisp.
In the UK the bacon I had was very greasy and limp.
I buy this fabulous bacon from Niman Ranch, from happy pigs that led a great life and are dispatched, cut up and smoked with real wood smoke. No nitrites added, thank you.
Bacon is wonderful. It is said to be the undoing of many a vegetarian. I eat about half pound quite often. I'm having some now.

I love it very crunchy and slightly thicker than normal. There is a restaurant near me that does the best bacon cheeseburgers in the world. The key is big, flavorful pieces of crunchy bacon. Not the limp, hard-to-chew pieces that are commonly thrown on top of cheeseburgers.
Having spent a year in Britain, I grew to also like their bacon, but not as much as the crunchy stuff. We even found a local pub that would cook it crunchy for us Yanks...

The only food I like to be cooked until it's burnt is bacon.

I prefer it kind of ham-like and moist, which is the way they usually serve it in the UK.
However, a crunchy piece of bacon is quite pleasant too.

Chewy...I have pretty sensitive tastebuds and hate that burnt taste that's prevelant. Perfer the salty, chewy taste.
Same thing with grilled stuff, I don't like my hotdogs black.

I like my bacon to kind of fall apart when I put a piece in my mouth. aka, very crispy.
I eat the stuff about twice a year, usually when I'm on vacation and now because of this posting I want some. Oh, I feel winter fat coming on!
