People have gone so bat sh*t for bacon, I kind of feel like a loser admitting that I love it. Bacon explosion! Baconnaise! Other Bacon stuff! I dunno! Stop talking about bacon - you're ruining it for me!

This right here is something that I don't like about the web - Bacon Enthusiasm Overshare.
Bacon is a delicious meat. It can make a wedge of iceburg with a drizzle of buttermilk taste fabulous (ahem, dinner last night). It's good with figs. Really, it's good with a lot of things.
But can you not prepackage it in bottles mixed with mayonnaise? And get a book deal about it? Can you just render a little pork fat for your risotto and remain calm like the rest of us?
I'm giving bacon a high rating because it's delicious, but I have had ENOUGH of all this bacon hoo haw. Please don't send me any T shirts.
What did you think of this review?

I agree with you on the bacon hype. Bacon keychains and wrapping paper kind of annoy me. I do get a kick out of the Wake N' Bacon alarm clock though.

Well, the good news is that you're not alone in having had enough.

Haha! I totally agree with her. Bacon Chocolate sounds nas-tee. (Candied bacon is a whole nother story, though. Try it with smoked eggs. Mmm.)

I don't think I'd ever even heard about candied bacon until six months ago. It sounds pretty amazing to me, but I just haven't come across it yet. If you are so inclined to write a review on the stuff, I can guarantee a built-in audience of at least one.

Try and tell me one dish that has bacon in it that you do not like. Vegetarians excluded!!

An awesome meat with a salty taste which goes well with sandwiches, eggs, pancakes, and other traditional breakfast foods. Best when cooked crispy. Don't go nuts, though - bacon is one of the fattier meats, and you get little nutritional payoff.

Bacon, it goes great in sandwiches, burgers, a side item at breakfast or in omelets and quiche. How can one food item be so great? It's salty, crisp and tasty. It can also be bad for you, so much so that it has been taken out of the "Meat" group and placed in the "Other" group which is sort of like food hell where chocolate bars and KFC's Double Down reside. Also with bacon! If a pig was a supermarket, … more

The tastiest thing ever, when it isn't hard and brittle. It belongs in everything.

About this food
Bacon is cut from the meat on the sides, belly or back of the pig, and sometimes is cured, smoked or both. Other meats can be cured to resemble bacon. Bacon can be prepared fried, baked, grilled or as a flavoring agent.

The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; other cuts and characteristics must be separately qualified (e.g., "smoked pork loin bacon"). If bacon is USDA certified, then it has been treated for trichinella, a parasitic roundworm which can be destroyed by heating, freezing, drying, or smoking.
The names of rashers or slices differ depending on where they are cut from:
- Streaky bacon comes from the belly of a pig. It is very fatty with long veins of fat running parallel to the rind. This is the most common form of bacon in the United States. Pancetta is Italian streaky bacon, smoked or aqua (unsmoked), with a strong flavour. It is generally rolled up into cylinders after curing.
- Back bacon comes from the loin in the middle of the back of the pig. It is a lean meaty cut of bacon, with relatively less fat compared to other cuts and has a ham-like texture and flavour. Most bacon consumed in the United Kingdom is back bacon.[6] Also called Irish bacon or Canadian Bacon.
- Middle bacon is much like back bacon but is cheaper and somewhat fattier, with a richer flavour.
- Cottage bacon is thinly sliced lean pork meat from a shoulder cut that is typically oval shaped and meaty. It is cured and then sliced into ...
