hwagan Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Why do you think Bacon is the best food ever? Here are 3 reasons I personally love bacon, in all it's bacony awesomeness; 1: It takes mere minutes to cook, and with the combination of bread and other peripherals, it is possible to create one of the most satisfying meals possible in about 6 minutes with minimal effort and very little washing up. 2: Due to the simplicity of cooking, Bacon sandwiches can be constructed when utterly, completely and irrevocably wankered. 3: Bacon is the most versatile meat ever. It goes well in a burger. It goes well in a sandwich, a salad, or even in the skin of a jacket potato. So, let's hear everyone's reasons for why Bacon is so unbelievably perfect in every possible way. I love you, Bacon. Link to post Share on other sites

bladerunner168 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I usually do 4 rashers (fried to crunchy crisp but not burnt) and a fried egg on 3 slices of cheap, supermarket sliced white bread (thick cut). First level will be bacon smothered with HP sauce, second level will contain the fried egg with Ketchup. Obviously the bread will be lathered in thick layers of butter.

FireKnife Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Why are you asking, just eat it and that will remind you how amazing it is. But it must be smoked, not that dumb unsmoked. Wait I can see smoked V unsmoked becoming bigger than atheists V religion, hold on boys it is going to be epic. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Smoked Bacon, fried egg, ketchup, and Baconnaise. on fresh crusty buttered bread. Dee-frickin-licious. Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I like both smoked and unsmoked but prefer unsmoked. I don't hold anything against people who prefer smoked but judging by what usually happens, I'm about to come under attack for my preference of unsmoked awesome. Also it's a proven fact that bacon, and even just cooking bacon, cures hangovers! It's an elixir of god like proportions in pig form! Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I thought I came here to discuss this: I was disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Back bacon, as opposed to that streaky yank pish. I can get the streaky yank pish in Bahrain but its rubbish compared to some Danish back bacon. I love bacon. Just a shame I am in one of the few countries in the world that Pork is illegal.

hwagan Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've found Bacon tortilla's to be frikkin' awesome - Several rashers of slightly crispy bacon, chilli mayo, a few slices of Tomato and some grated Mozarella... Also, I'm pleased with the success of this thread, clearly Bacon is a popular topic. And it should be. (As for smoked V unsmoked, I prefer smoked but I'm not fussed either way) Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The streaky stuff is only good when its well crispy. Or in the form of a bacon weave. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 So this seems like the right place to ask: Am I the only person in the known worlds who cooks bacon in the oven rather than a frying pan? PS Smoked bacon tastes like ash, yuck. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The streaky stuff is only good when its well crispy. Or in the form of a bacon weave. Agreed; Streaky bacon is also good for Pizza. So this seems like the right place to ask: Am I the only person in the known worlds who cooks bacon in the oven rather than a frying pan? PS Smoked bacon tastes like ash, yuck. I generally fry it for ease, but grilled/oven cooked bacon is always good. Best bacon I've ever had was stuck on a fork and held over an open fire for several minutes. It went a bit black, but damn did it taste amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I grill it, not fry. But anyone who sullied it with the filth that is ketchup is a pleb. Plain and simple. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Have you not tried M&S Ketchup? It's basically just *fruitcage* annihilated Tomato, in the form of a paste... It's also a million times better than any other ketchup ever! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Smoked bacon is the tits. Mostly any meat tastes good smoked. After watching man v food I want to try smoked hamburger. Link to post Share on other sites
AceOfSkulls Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Unsmoked danish bacon , but don't mind smoked. Crispy fat , grilled / ovened Daddies strong brown sauce and butter Are we talking drinks too, or are we atleast all agreed on tea? Also my favorite burger recipe: Venison burgers, rapped in danish bacon, poor on some Newman BBQ sauce, top with cheese. Oven bake and put in a bap. Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Middle-cut. And I'm going out on a limb here. Microwaved! Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Microwaved! You make me sick. Microwaving is the second worst thing you can do to bacon (first being binning it/not eating it). Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Microwaving is the second worst thing you can do to bacon. Not the way I do it. It's deelissh. On the cusp between soft and crisp, browned but not too brown. And *zero* washing up. Grilling is good too, so long as the rashers under the grill are reposing on slabs of bread, so that all the rendered fat drops down and is immediately soaked up by the bread, that's becoming instant toast as it does its sponge act.

scorch Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 That sounds good. Microwaving doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Unsmoked, wrapped in tinfoil, placed on the exhaust manifold of the car. Drive. Retrieve bacon, apply to buttery (north east Scotland thing) or in the absense thereof, a croissant. Eat. Profit. No ?????? necessary. *edit* Also: http://www.amazon.com/Marinis-Candies-Chocolate-Covered-Bacon/dp/B005YHG6KM/ Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Right. Attempting that on my motorbike on the way to site tomorrow. Also, maple glazed bacon is delicious. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Microwaving raw meat is not only disgusting but it is also unhealthy. You go and study how microwaves work and you'll quickly realise that in a microwave the temperature fluctuates massively, to kill teh germs you need constant high heat for a good few minutes. (Industary standard is min 75deg for min 2 minutes.) Link to post Share on other sites
Avenger96 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I love it because it tastes good. Also, for Bundesweher guys who don't have time to cook it, Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Microwaving raw meat is not only disgusting but it is also unhealthy. Smoked bacon isn't raw. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FACTSheets/Bacon_and_Food_Safety/index.asp Click on "Safe Cooking". Link to post Share on other sites
