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.)

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

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.

Yuck, soggy bacon is revolting!

YANBU.

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

It has to be crispy.

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!

Limp bacon??

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

Bacon in general is yuck.

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.

Flaccid bacon? Is this a euphenism?

Can't stand crunchy bacon, it actually upsets me

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.

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).

Soft bacon with all fat cut off for me

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.
