Eh, close enough.

I've tried a few experiments in cooking of bacon. In this case the typical store bought you find in Canadian grocers.

I've found an iron grill pan in the oven at lower temps is the best way. Its not crispy dried out, nor chewy. Has a real nice colour as well.

I prefer thick-cut and Panetta. Pea meal is nice as well.

Bacon is best in combination with other foods as part of a prepared dish. Bacon bits in garden salad (not the fake bits in the shaker from the grocer). Cover a roast chicken with strips of bacon, removing the last 30-45 minutes to crisp up the crust. Very nice on a dry brined roaster.

I had a friend who loved bacon and peanut butter on toast. Must say, not too bad actually.

Sadly a large portion of humanity misses out.

Acrylic actually.

If you've never had bacon, then cheesy pigs in blankets will blow your mind.

EDIT: if you leap straight to the garlic version, you'll probably have a crisis from how epic it tastes.

Bacon butties are the reason to not go vegetarian.

strain the bacon fat after you cook bacon n store in fridge until you get 1 to 2 cups of it, then confit (poach) chicken in said bacon fat. make a sammich or burger or rub it on your nips for all i care, but it's so naughty it should be illegal.

yes you can touch me, i am real.

This. Half the reason I buy bacon is so that I have tasty fat with which to fry many things. A grilled cheese made with bacon grease is the only way to do it.
