Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2020 Yes I like bacon. Thick, thin, doesn’t matter. I practice bacon acceptance. I’m also a Whiskypalian but I’m not sure they’re related. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 25, 2020 Depends what it is going in. Thinner for a BLT but thick as a side. IT has to be a little crispy when cooked though. ..and no sweetness like maple. That is just gross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Popular Post Share #7 Posted January 25, 2020 I just had my first slice of bacon since August. I was buying bacon during tomato season for BLTs and the last package I bought was never even opened because the garden quit producing tomatoes. My wife asked if we had any bacon this morning. I checked it and it didn’t have an expiration date on it. I cooked it nice and crispy just to make sure it was safe. My wife ate two eggs, two slices of bacon, and a piece of toast this morning with a glass of chocolate milk. She is going to surprise everyone when she has to go off hospice care because she doesn’t need it anymore. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 25, 2020 I buy it by the slice at the LGS at work...cos I only buy it for a specific dish now and then...might have bacon once or twice a year at home...I do get it with breakfast when I am out! The stuff at the LGS..is a thicker cut I think... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Share #9 Posted January 25, 2020 I like it more on the thick side but not so thick it chews like jerky. I do not like it crisp because that's too often burnt. No flavors, just bacon. I also like my bacon diced in lots of foods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted January 25, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 25, 2020 Bacon - yes Other meats, thick. Wife invariably will buy thinner (i.e. cheaper) cuts of pork chops or beef for me to grill and I call them "grilling challenges." While I don't want to ridicule her grocery shopping and she hasn't take nthe hint about thickness when grilling, thinking about establishing a rule - If I am grilling it, I am buying it. The problem with that is - she buys for the week with weekly meal planning, but I buy for the day (and don't have to defrost) which lays the groundwork for it to be considered a criticism - Can't win either way. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fun buying fresh stuff (lots of fresh produce from my Amish neighbors). This year I will be getting a lot of frozen stuff I suppose. I’m going to try to combine my doctor appointments with grocery shopping when I have already hired a care giver to cover for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted January 25, 2020 Share #16 Posted January 25, 2020 There is a local smoke house that makes an applewood smoked bacon that has ruined me for big brand bacon. They sell it sliced any way you like it, but the pre packed, vacuum sealed packages are fairly thick sliced. A friend buys it by the chunk and cooks it on a fork over a fire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted January 25, 2020 Share #19 Posted January 25, 2020 I like it thicker and just at the edge of crisp. WoW cooks it in the air fryer to cut down the grease. The place that used to sell jalapeño bacon went out of business. Looking for a new place for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted January 25, 2020 Share #20 Posted January 25, 2020 I like the thick bacon but only eat it occasionally. The thin stuff with "smoke flavor" added is not good, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Share #21 Posted January 25, 2020 Thick, in the pan. Pour the grease over the dogs’ food, cook the eggs in what’s left. Applewood smoked btw. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low salt regular bacon was on sale Thursday at Wegman's so I got it. It's going in the Haluski I'm going to make next week: fried cabbage and noodles and onion - to which I'm adding bacon and peas. Our family's expert-Polish-food-cook, cousin Eleanor, says I should try it without the additions first to see it I like it, but I don't see how they can hurt. It's supposed to be buttered but the bacon grease will take care of half of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted January 25, 2020 Share #26 Posted January 25, 2020 The one strip of bacon I cooked for myself this morning was thick. It was good, I don’t eat it very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted January 25, 2020 Share #29 Posted January 25, 2020 Walking through the local Navy Commissary and Exchange today as newly eligible with law that took effect. Was only on a scouting trip price comparing but it took every ounce of willpower to drag myself away from the bacon with it's excellent pricing, $3.50 and looked nice. Other items not so much and you really have to know competitive prices where you normally shop. In retrospect, I should have bought at least one item to make sure the registration, completed yesterday at Patrick AFB was DOD wide. Felt strange to be back on an AF Base yesterday...and when I saw the medical facility next to the Exchange reminded me how often tried to get stationed there. Will test it next week when visit mother in Tampa General Hospital as MacDill is very close with both on/in Tampa Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
