Squishy or Crispy

[Bird]

This thread reminds me of many years ago when a cousin of mine was still a teenager and went on the wheat harvest one year. In those days, a crew with trucks, combine, etc. started harvesting down south and worked their way north, going from farm to farm, and wherever they were working, the farmer's wife usually did the cooking and fed the crew. And my cousin said he couldn't eat the bacon on those farms because it was "raw". Of course it wasn't raw, but at home, he was accustomed to his mother always having crisp bacon.

I like mine more on the crispy side....evidently one of my wife's chihuahuas does too. I usually give both of them a little piece. The other morning the red head got up and fixed me pancakes and bacon (don't know what got into her...lol :confused2: ) and I wanted to watch the morning news while I ate. I sat in my recliner and had the tv remote in one hand and one of the pups jumped in my lap. He sits there while I eat, hoping I will drop something for him to scarf up. I look around for a second and looked back and that varmint had grabbed the bacon which happened to be sticking a little too far out from the plate :drool: I'm like WTH ? The bacon was bigger than he is. He doesn't sit in my lap when I'm eating anymore. Ever fight with an angry chihuahua over a piece of bacon? Yeah, you ain't getting it back! (she had some extra so I did get another piece)

The culprit!

Funny story, last year while back visiting in the Philippines, my wifes sister tried making me BLT's. She ruined it big time with almost raw bacon, not much experience cooking bacon there as its too expensive for filipinos to buy. Yes, I did eat the BLT!

Good bacon is good any way it's cooked, but, I prefer it just before its gets crispy.

On a side note, I work with this tubby little asian guy who wear's a shirt that says "Body by bacon". I love that shirt and he ain't lying.

During cold weather, I like to visit the local mom/pop store about a mile from the house and pickup a nice slab of pork side meat. Very fatty and hard to slice but makes a great sandwich with mustard on it.

I prefer mine on the crispy side but not so crisp that it fractures when you stab it with a fork. That said, I will eat any bacon on my plate except for soggy British breakfast bacon that is essentially just heated up in oil while the eggs are cooking. Nasty.

I like crispy . I don 't know about the health debate . I do know I've got my vertical chest scar from a quad bipass, multiple stents in my abdomen, one in my heart, right carotid surgery, and just had my left carotid done last Friday . I do know this thread is makin' me hungry and tomorrow its off to the Waffle House I go . Some of you may not know what the Waffle House is .
