To think that flaccid bacon is the Devil's invention?

[TwigletFiend]

I am on holiday in West Wales and went out for a breakfast this morning. I was really looking forward to it, BUT THEN... It arrived and the bacon was limp.

It just lay there, pale and congealing with soggy white fat. And I thought, does anybody actually eat it like this when crispy golden bacon is such a heavenly experience?

(Yes, keyboard warriors, this is very much tongue in cheek.)

[TinyManticore]

Revolting. Undercooked bacon is so off putting. It's the reason I wouldn't order anything with bacon in a restaurant or cafe - you can just guarantee it'll cooked wrong.

Bacon should snap - anything else is unacceptable

[TwigletFiend]

My housemate for two years at university used to MICROWAVE her bacon for thirty seconds and then eat it



They are hiding amongst us like normal people.

Yabu - bacon is the Devil's invention, end of.

[HelenF350]

Yuck, soggy bacon is revolting!

[sliceofsoup]

YANBU.

Soggy bacon is the make or break of a good breakfast.

It has to be crispy.

[Contraryish]

I love it all soft and juicy, so you can actually taste the bacon. When it's crispy and overdone, all you can taste is salt, it's horrid!

[WorraLiberty]

Limp bacon??

I hope you took whoever cooked it, outside and gave them a good kicking.

[Daffodilliesanddaisies]

My Dp likes soggy limp bacon, it gives me the boak. He's learnt how to cook mine to its crispy perfection.

[FenellaFellorick]

we do indeed walk among you I love soggy bacon. It's great in a sandwich.

[TwigletFiend]

But surely you end up with fat soaked, claggy bread and a sandwich with a uniform squishy texture?!

[VenusVanDamme]

YABU - I hate crispy bacon, it's just burnt. That's the reason I never get a roll and bacon from a cafe, I like it just cooked!

[usualsuspect333]

I hate crispy bacon. I love it limp and just cooked.

[OnlyLovers]

YANBU. It could make me cry. I like bacon you can pick up with your fingers. The fat on underdone bacon is especially disturbing.

[cardibach]

Crispy bacon is burnt. All I can taste is salt and burn. Bacon cooked correctly is soft - don't see why you all think it will be dripping with fat, though! That's inferior bacon carelessly served.

[FenellaFellorick]

I drain the fat off. I don't like bacon that you could crumple to dust in your hand. It's cooked, it's just not crunchy.

like this.

[AuntyMag10]

Bacon in general is yuck.

[TwigletFiend]

Fenella, that bacon is not limp. Therefore it is acceptable, if not how I would eat it.

It's the truly floppy stuff that is grim, when the rind is all pallid and slimy. Bleurgh.

[AlisonBlunderland]

Flaccid bacon? Is this a euphenism?

[ozzia]

Can't stand crunchy bacon, it actually upsets me

[badtime]

I think the even the pro-soft bacon faction would agree that the fat/rind needs to be browned? Right?!

I don't mind soft or crispy bacon, but I cannot stand bacon that has been cooked at too low a temperature to brown the fatty edge. It's foul, and so disappointing.

Some places do this to such an extent that I think they must steam their bacon.

[NashvilleQueen]

Couldn't agree more. Nothing disappoints like flaccid bacon. I tend to ask for it to be well done in a cafe and stand over them whilst they actually write it down. However I always prefer it when I do it myself exactly as I like it (and don't get me started on toast).

[ozzia]

Soft bacon with all fat cut off for me

[SirPercyPilkington]

I keep reading this as The Flaccid Baron is the Devil. And wondering which celebrity has the codename Flaccid Baron.
I bet it's Piers Morgan.

And now I read it properly, flaccid bacon is gross but crispy bacon is also gross. Halfway for me please.
