American bacon sucks
 

American bacon sucks, yo.

I'm assuming you're gonna be defending some British thing with cow hearts and toad spleens?

American bacon is one of the greatest foods of all time.

And boiled.

It's pretty good but quit putting it in everything you fat ****s.

I will weave a rope with bacon and hang you with it! And it will probably break because the bacon will be so damn crisp!

I thought bacon was just bacon? You cut it off the same part of the pig no matter what country we're talking about. Denmark is known for it's bacon exports, but I'm not sure it's any better than American bacon.

Back bacon is from the back.

American bacon is the streaky stuff, think it's from the belly.

Their bacon is fattier, ours has more meat.

I like both.

Guess I learned something new today!

Couldn't one just fry the American bacon a bit longer to get more of the fat out, or do I just demonstrate how little I understand cooking?

You stay the **** away from my fat!

Wait...

:D

They are different cuts of meat mate. You could cook it for longer to get the fat out but you'd lose volume the longer you cook it. It would be a bit like saying grill a chicken leg for longer to get the fat out and thinking it will end up the same as a breast. They are different parts of the animal.

I don't know how food works, I just eat it. Cooking is a magical and mysterious discipline.

Cow heart is really good you know. If you like steak, I would recommend it highly.

The tongue is great as well <3

Get the **** out of here, you gross, island monkey mother****er.

Cow heart?

****ing cow heart?

Bitch you know the proper term is Beefheart.

bacon is gross

We have that bacon but we call it slab bacon and it is bought from a butcher. I don't buy regular bacon anymore. Slab bacon has more meat with less fat.

I do like turkey bacon too. It doesn't shrivel up as much as that other crap.

I like vegetable bacon..

Honestly, I might prefer the meatier bacon than the fattier bacon.

No you don't.

Yes, bacon is delicious, but it's not healthy so I pretty much stopped eating it years ago. Also, it's unkind to pigs, people who live near pig farms and the environment in general. (I'm sorry to remind people, but Pigs Make Methane, which is a greenhouse gas much worse than CO2.)



^ Watch a few vids like this and you may end up agreeing with the OP* too.

* Edit: Not limited to American bacon, of course; I'm sure good old British Bacon is just as damaging.

k sori

Beefheart.

Sounds like you're on about wet cured here, that's the stuff you find most often in supermarkets. That stuff shrivels up. The dry cured stuff doesn't, it's a bit more expensive but much better imo.

Both have their place I think.

If I'm eating it as part of a breakfast or in a bacon butty I prefer the back bacon, for BLTs, burgers, pasta then the belly is better.

In my opinion of course :cool:

Now explain to the nice Americans what a "butty" is, before they get the wrong idea! :laughing:

Bacon sandwich.

Grilled and smoked >>>

I was thinking more along the lines of a fat pig's ass.

I am an authority on this subject.

My credentials:
I have devoured breakfasts throughout Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and continental Europe. Thus I have tasted every variety of bacon imaginable.
My country, Canada, has its own variety of bacon. Thus I am an disinterested third party in the dispute between British and American bacon.

American or "streaky" bacon wins. Hands down.

Spencer has spoken thusly, thus the debate is thusly ended.

If I'm making a BLT, I'm using thick cut American peppered bacon. Canadian bacon is just Ham, and that British stuff is just the byproduct of someone who has poor depth perception while holding a knife.

Streaky bacon doesn't work with everything though imo.

Canadian bacon is better in a breakfast setting, imo.

Is that like gammon?

Back bacon is better than streaky for the full breakfast. I've used streaky when I haven't had back bacon, but the latter is better.

This is just my opinion, imo.

Basically, yeah. It's Ham.

Eggplant Bacon

lol

How is it? Asking both in terms of how good it is if you eat it expecting regular bacon and how good it is if you eat it without prejudice or expectations.

Amazing if you like eggplant. Awful if you expect it to taste like real bacon. It does make a fine replacement though for BLTs and such, taste difference aside.

I've never much liked eating any kind of bacon alone unless it's candied bacon with brown sugar and chili powder.

Bacon is overrated.

Because I'm Mexican, I take peppers and cut them in half, spread cream cheese in them and then wrap it in bacon. Then I put it in the oven for about 25 minutes and it comes out incredible.
