Do you even like bacon?

[Peloso]

I do, but not so much that I couldn't give it up. There's some colon cancer in my family, and I've had some scary symptoms, so I don't eat cured meat anymore.

The only thing I miss is BLT's. I used to make the best BLT sandwich. The secret is to not layer everything together; some mayo, a little lettuce, a tomato slice, bacon, more mayo, then maybe more bacon, a little lettuce, mayo again, more tomato, more mayo, bacon, and so on. Don't forget the salt and pepper, and if you really want it to be killer, butter the toast a little.

I like everything about bacon. Makin’ bacon, eating bacon, smelling bacon.

 

[Vannie]

Yes.

Breakfast is my favorite meal and I like most all breakfast foods except for hot cereal. The meat I have a majority of the time is turkey sausage and after that pork sausage.

Bacon and ham usually only if I am making an omelet.

I used to love BLTs but I forget about them. I can't remember the last time I had one at the moment.

One way I don't like bacon that seems to be popular is on a hamburger.

What a silly question. Of course we like bacon?

I don't dislike bacon on a hamburger, but I find that the bacon's flavor gets lost, which makes it a waste of good bacon (and of calories).
If, for some reason, I'm served bacon on a burger, I just take it out and eat it separately.

Even vegetarians like bacon!

This is true.

Bacon draped meatloaf.

[backagain]

I can't resist it as well as others.

 

[MusicMan321]

I use have it but now I don't

 

[Kahaih]

Small doses. More of a seasoning here and there. It's good in creamy soups that need a little extra fat.

And, I have a rather small mouth, so I don't even try to eat club/stacked sandwiches. Give me a salad bowl and fork.

Ahhhh! I never thought of it like that before until I read this.

It has been a while now that I can only have one piece of bread as a sandwich and it has to be open. My mouth can't fit around a sandwich with two pieces of bread.

When I go to Five Guys to get a hamburger now I cut it up like it was a steak before I eat it.

 

[Kahaih]

/\ I think one of the best things about making my own bread is that I can slice it super thin.

Bacon is off my plate, probably for good. A major factor is both health reasons, but I'm just disgusted by factory farm practices and their impacts. Maybe I'd be tolerant of bacon that comes from a real farm--the kind that was the only kind great great grandparents knew--but if I could even find something like that, it would be unaffordable.

Even when I still ate it, I wasn't that excited by it. It was mainly something I'd buy as an ingredient for something else. I might fry it as plain bacon to finish it off--but I seldom bought bacon just to have bacon.

I did have it more offen when I was growing up. Although, as a teenager, I had my first round of disliking it on health reasons--I was creeped out by the trichinosis talk in biology... While cooking fixes the problem, I still cringed. And it didn't help that my teacher said he totally avoided any and all pork products due to trichinosis concerns.

 

[TickTockMan]

It is okay, but not my favorite. I really only eat it on chicken and bacon pizzas (with a white sauce) or a couple times a years on sandwiches.

There is bacon and sausage like that to be had, usually from organic food stores and sometimes from farmers' markets. Yes, it's pretty expensive. But not only is it more humane, it's higher-quality food.

I expect to live a shorter life because of bacon, and I am pleased with the trade.

I'll be waiting for you guys on the other side, and not haunting the earth, since I'll die happy.
