I don’t care for bacon, it doesn’t have much flavor and is often just used for salt, or fat. I leave it out of almost all recipes that call for it and haven’t missed it yet.

    I don’t know I’ve had anything other than American “grocery store” bacon. I’ve never found bacon to have much flavor once its cooked until crispy. It tastes like salted nothing. I make a carbonara that has pancetta in it, but other than the texture, even then, I’m not sure how much that adds to that dish with all the other things in it.

      I feel that once bacon is crispy it’s ruined, I prefer it still bendy/chewy. Nothing beats a good BLT.

        It’s a fine line. It should be stiff enough that you can pick it up with a slight bend, but once it is crunchy then it’s just a big bacon bit.

        I think an .LT on good bread with a good tomato is just as good.
