Poll: Bacon: Crispy or chewy?

[DasDestroyer]

Crispy or Chewy?
Crispy AND Chewy!
If it snaps in your hand, you're doing it wrong. If it droops to the side while you hold it up by one end, you're doing it wrong.
But nobody ever said that doing it right is easy.

Chewy! I have always loved a chewy piece of bacon. Which sucks cause I'm the only one in my family who DOES like chewy....I get jipped a lot.

Crispy.

If the fat is chewy then the bacon has failed.

I should be able to snap it.

Nothing worst than undercooked bacon, on buttered bread.

I hate butter with my bacon.

There must also be ketchup.

Odd not mr English food man if you ask me all typical American ketchup is very sub-par, it is more sugar than tomatoes half the time. What doth thou have in your land?

But i have to wonder why any one would attempt to butter bacon, fat plus fat = nonsense most of the time

Branston Ketchup is for manly men.

From the people who brought you...

Ordered, it best not taste like Heinz. Fuckin tomato flavored HFCS that shit is. but it is Branston I mean fuck it is nor only the "Mainstream American" AKA utterly tasteless but a brand that honestly is not shit.

Crispy Fat but firm but not crispy meat itself.. it takes skill to do it like this... if the whole thing is crispy it becomes inedible to me.

 

[Psykoma]

basically crispy but not burnt
chewy is yuck

Soft, Chewy and, dripping with grease. I don't mind crispy but I prefer soft. I loves me some bacon regardless.

 

[Samurai Silhouette]

Both. Chewy fat and slightly crispy edges. Great lingering after taste.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Half crispy and half chewy, I always have smoked bacon so no fat (I hate fat). The best of both worlds.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Honestly i'd like to have a nice crisp slice o bacon on my plate. However, in the grand scheme of baconness it shouldn't matter because it's BACON!!!!!

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Crispy.

basically crispy

Crispy every single time.

You are all wrong. The correct answer was chewy with crispy edges. Go sit in the corner.

Eh....in trying to answer this I think I've just come to the conclusion that I just don't think I like bacon anymore.

I mean, I've always been pro-crispy. Chewy to me just means it's not fully cooked, which is gross.

But lately I've had a hard time eating more than a couple strips of even crispy bacon.

I want the combo others have mentioned.

Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. Good stuffs.

Here's the one person who got it right all along. Bacon should be both crispy and chewy. Done right and you've combined the best of both worlds. That's why I do my bacon on the BBQ, keep a close eye on it and you will consistently get the best tasting bacon of your life.

I just like bacon, give me it now, any way at all >.>

 

[Cabisco]

I like mine where I think it will no longer kill me, just.

If I could just throw it against a radiator a couple of times and be sure I wouldn't get food poisoning I would.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Neither. I prefer my bacon Canadian.

 

[Redryhno]

Crispy? You ruin the fatty goodness that makes bacon the amazing piece of pig that it is.

Chewy? Who cares? As long as it isn't fridge cold, I'll eat it.

 

[ReinWeisserRitter]

I like it a little bit of both, really.

Not a huge fan of bacon in general, though.

 

[Nexxis]

I like it either way, but I'll go for the chewy kind most of the time.

 

[soren7550]

It's gotta be wiggly dude!

 

[wintercoat]

Doesn't matter, ate bacon.

I can cook my bacon to be both chewy and crispy. Suck on it losers.
