    Pork Bacon by Preferance, though turkey bacon will do in a pinch. Thick cut is best, by far, and peppered can be good. Hickory smoked also very important. Most important part is crispy, not quite crunchy. Floppy is only good when its buried in something else like a Philly Cheese-Steak.

    I must disagree with Terrence. There is no substitute for Floppy Pork Bacon!!!
    I like it so floppy that most would call it undercooked. Hickory or other hardwood smoking is good. I like the maple cured as long as it is not too sweet.

    I like it a half way between ultra floppy and crisp. I liek the fat portions to be cooked and a little crispy bat the meat parts still pliable. I love pork bacon hicory smoked and dredged through maple syrup at times, but mostly on it's own.

      I like Pancetta used in recipes but not really on its own.
      Side pork and Salt pork also have uses in recipes but not as stand alone bacon products.

        I love it pan-fried with just a little sugar on it. I like it crisp. The best bacon I've found is the West Virginia Bacon.

    Ooh ahhh..my kind of tribe. Yes, I confess..I'm a bacon junkie. If I could only take five food items to a desert isle (deserted? or desert..I never got that...), One of them would be BACON!! Bacon bacon bacon.

    There is a review of various brands of bacon in Cook's Illistrated this month.
    I don't remember the details, except that Niman Ranch is supposed to carry one of the ultimate types. It is expensive..say $8.99 lb for twelve ounces.
    I'm sure you can order it online. Anyone with me???
    Let's do our own bacon review.
    BTW, What is a good brand of applewood smoked bacon and where can I buy it??
    RE: crisp or floppy..eeew... I prefer crispy, but shamelessly, will eat just about any bacon that comes near me.
    MMMMMMMmmmmmmm, bacon!

      Annie i think i love you. Bacon, should be crispy, not crunchy. Floppy bacon is like a limp dick...good to look at, but that's about it.

                    okay, everybody put your clothes back on now, and cum answer my bacon confessions thread. You guys should have plenty to confess...
                    and we'll just have to wait and see what level of gluttoney is necessary in order to achieve bacon flavored pussy....I'm sure Samiam will let us know if he finds it?
                    What's your worst bacon indiscretion? Were you the sibling who'd put a fork in your sister's hand if she tried to sneak the last piece?
                    Where has your bacon addiction led you? Confess.

        As one who has eaten raw bacon (well, the meat anyway, toss the fat in the pan), I disagree completely.

        I actually like eating the spectrum of done-ness, savoring the different flavors that bacon takes on at it's different stages, but when I'm just wanting bacon, rare is where it's at!

      At a Chinese restaurant; crab meet wrapped in a slice of bacon.
      Suprisingly good.
