In my opinion, bacon is alright once in a while but it is definitely not this super amazing food that so many people make it out to be. I'd much rather have a thicker, juicy piece of meat, thank you very much. Not to mention most bacon is salty as hell (even the versions with "less salt added"). However, it can taste good when added to other things. I just think bacon has been elevated to such a high status because of EpicMealTime and people have just jumped on the bandwagon. In my opinion, bacon is overrated. What are your thoughts?

The hell with that, bacon is awesome. And being thin makes it better. It's all surface area, baby. There's nowhere for the flavor to hide.

I've only seen like one episode of Epic Meal Time. And I don't jump on bandwagons.

Bacon is just awesome :3

I agree I defiantly far prefer other meats far more then bacon a good piece of bacon every now again is nice though. I think you can chalk it up to having developed a meme status on the internet where its elevated to a godly status like chuck norris jokes.

I love bacon. Rather than by itself, I think (also my preference) it is a wonderful addition to many foods, like salad, pasta, sandwiches, even just using the fat to sautee something. So yes, it is that good.

It's good once in a while if it's cooked just right. Don't like it crispy as it has no flavor at all then, don't like it too under-cooked as it's just kind of strips of grease then. It has to be done just right.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]Or don't cook it enough. Bacon is supposed to be crispy.Zeviander
Cooking bacon properly is a labour of love. In order to get it to that "perfect doneness" one must tread a precarious edge that could at any minute give way to black nothingness. In a pan (I have never tried baking large amounts in the oven) over medium heat, with constant supervision and consistent flipping is the only way to get it right. Also, it tends to firm up more once it's starts to cool, so one need not bring it to a perfect crisp in the pan. There is a point during cooking when it heats up to the point where the flesh begins to brown, and it is this color, on the entire surface of the meat, that is the desired outcome. And another thing I often didn't get early on when I started, is that each piece cooks at a different time, depending on thickness, length, fat content and position in the pan... so one must remove each piece when it is done and not wait for the others. -- If it wasn't obvious already, I'm sure it's pretty plain to see that I've cooked so much bacon it's not even funny. When done right, it is glorioisus. I often cook more than I need, because I'm always eating some when it's finished.

You are my kind of guy...in a totally non sexual way of course....lol

When cooked right, it's one of the best foods out there. The problem is that it's very difficult to cook just right. Very often, people over or undercook it.

I've never tasted it and I really don't think I'd like it since I despise any sort of fats coming from animals. However, I'm almost fanatic about other kinds of cured meat.

It's okay. I prefer sausage to bacon though (especially in regards to biscuits).

On it's own it's pretty good, but I think the appeal comes from it's ability to enhance anything. A grilled cheese sandwich is good, with bacon it is godly. A cheeseburger from Checker's is pretty tasty, with bacon it's a feast for the ages!

I enjoy it on most things, if you don't then that is your problem and I feel sorry for your life of not loving bacon.
