My preference: 3, or 4 (probably closer to 4 than 3)

 

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Definitely 4. That fat needs rendering, can't have it all white and chewy!

How do you get it to sit between slices of bread that way?

4. Nothing but 4.

[Syman_a]

 

MMMM Bacon seeds

 

Number 4 for me!

[bald_pig]

I'd say somewhere between 3 and 4, I want my fat to be just rendered! Edited July 31, 2019 by bald_pig

I'd say somewhere between 3 and 4, I wan't my fat to be just rendered!

 

Same here - A 3+ but not quite as much as 4. Cooked, but not incinerated

[mikeprice]

I'd say 3 - but the one in the picture does seem a bit uncooked on the bottom bit - other than that

3 is just fine

 

4 is OK

 

1 is basically still in the packet

 

6 has so much graphite it could be used for writing

[LeMarchand]

4, though 3 and 5 are acceptable.

[Davit2005]

3 to 4 either between white toasted or untoasted bread with ketchup. Is it lunch time yet

[RobD]

4 for me, has anyone read the article on the bbc good food website about how bacon can be bad for you if not eaten in moderation? Made me pretty upset, I love bacon. Clicky

[FishCustard]

I'm veggie now, but before that the answer would have been 3.5-4

[DJ-1701]

I'm veggie now

 

Shouldn't you change your name then?

Ehhh should've said pescetarian, I eat fish too.

Surely not news?

 

This made me laugh from the above article:

 

What are your top tips to cut down on bacon?

 

1. Swap bacon for lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, peas, butter beans, baked beans or haricot beans.
   
   
2. Try bacon alternatives such as turkey, tofu or tempeh rashers.
   

 

WTF??? No-one would say to someone who wanted to try something different to lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, peas, butter beans, baked beans or haricot beans that bacon might be a good shout!

 

The only vaguely sensible replacement would be the turkey rashers (not tried tempah, but tofu is not even close). I have tried Facon (Quorn do a "veggie bacon, as do most supermarkets) and it's tolerable but hasn't got the texture.

[HarryMonkey]

Somewhere between 3 and 4 for me.

 

Meanwhile, I must get back to my Peppa Pig jigsaw puzzle.

 

[Disease]

Well for a start that is not bacon that's just fat and the fact that Americans consider that bacon annoys me every time I go there!

 

This is bacon!

 

And I would have it cooked to no4

I could see them being used in a dish in place of bacon lardons...
