Bacon was the first gift from the gods. It's the divine food, and exists only to comfort us during this weary mortal existence, and serve as a small taste of the riches that await us in the afterlife.
This is the most awesome thing I have ever read.

dark-chocolate bacon cheesecake
That's... a real thing? I can't decide if I think that sounds awesome or ridiculous - I mean, dark chocolate cheesecake by itself is fantastic, and bacon is, well, bacon, but I'm not sure you really need to mix them together.

Granted, if I had either of those on hand I'd be trying it for myself right now, but I still think there are foods that don't need to be "improved" by adding bacon - not a lot of foods, but I'm sure they exist, somewhere.

I like my bacon a bit crispy, having a solid feel, but with a bit of give and softness. Something I can bite through along with my burger without pulling the whole strip out. This reminds me of the best sandwich I ever made: Hot dogs(thats plural, hot dogs, three in one sandwich), bacon, and a massive slathering of BBQ sauce. It made me feel kind of fat, but it was so freakin' worth it.

Bacon's gotta be chewy for me. Don't get me wrong, all bacon is good bacon; but when I make bacon it is chewy. No exceptions.

I mean, I'm a vegetarian and never had it, so I'm really asking, what's so great about it?
The smell and taste, and the texture.

So, um, everything.
Really? That's all the reasons I find it so nasty. Personal taste is a funny thing.

That's okay. I've had bacon and I HATE it!

*brings some food to the bunker*
Can I join? I don't eat bacon and these people have some really big pitch forks.
Sure, bring some drinks!

Isn't it, though? Everyone obsesses over coffee and booze as well, both of which I can't stand. Huh.

Oh well, I still have bacon.

It's Lipitor's greatest enemy. It's salty, its juicy, its crunchy, and I can't describe it. It's just.. ohhhhhhh bacon.

My state fair just did a chocolate-covered bacon thing. I had to take 4 bottles of Lipitor before I could take a bite without worrying about my heart completely stopping.

Someone else can have both our allotments of booze. *pours myself a cup of coffee* Wanna a piece of toast to go with that bacon? Maybe some cheesy scrambled eggs? We've got a nice little breakfast going on.

If you ask me bacon isn't bacon if it's not crunchy, but that's mostly because floppy bacon (At least the few times I've had it) tends to be quite hard to chew which has caused me to chock on at least 2 different occasions.

Why does magic smell like bacon? Cookie for reference.

OT I like mine crispy, so that when I bite into it I hear a loud crunching, resembling the bones of my victims.

I blew it with my anti-thing bazooka.

I like it in between, leaning towards the crunchy side.
I just love crunchy stuff.
Fuckin' love it.

Definitely in between, cooked enough to have a distinctive texture, but not crunchy.

Apparently, according to chow.com, there's only one right way to do bacon:
