Poll: Bacon: Chewy, or Crunchy?

[Thatguyky]

100% crunchy is the way to go. If it's all chewy it feels all weird and slimy... which is awkward.

 

[Lexodus]

Crunchy bacon is far too often burned/overcooked bacon, therefore chewy.

I couldn't care as far as the meaty bit goes. So either. Prefer chewy I suppose but to be honest I go no where near bacon if its got fat on, and once you've got rid of all the fat there is hardly anything left anyway.

So I go for sausage. Bacon is overrated.

Chewy. It lacks substance imo otherwise. But not too chewy hey, let's not exaggerate.

This. Truly chewy bacon is properly cooked but not slimy nor stiff.

I couldn't possibly sum it up better than this way.

Crunchy if in a sandwich, "chewy" otherwise (although I wouldn't call it chewy, just not fully crisped).

 

[Spinwhiz]

It has to be crunchy. When I make it, I make sure it almost breaks just by touching it!

Bacon must be extra-crispy. Then it must be covered in maple syrup unless it is being placed in a sandwich or crumbled up as a topping.

 

[captainwolfos]

I can't stand crunchy bacon. It must be soft and chewy.

SOFT. AND CHEWY.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Crispy, just has to be!

 

[noxymoron19]

If in long strip just a bit chewy. If in small chunks with perogies or something its all about crunchy. So ultimately i say chewy

 

[pepitko]

Exactly as it was in the Simpsons. Crunchy, but not too crunchy. Damn, now I need some bacon.

 

[TheBoulder]

I like chewy bacon, cooking bacon to make it crunchy makes lose all flavour.

 

[Gaiseric]

I love all bacon, unless it is charred and blackened to the point of being a chunk of unrecognizable carbon.

You are a trooper.*Salutes*

I agree with what he said but I do prefer it chewy.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Bacon should be crunchy, with a crackle to it, but should maintain a meat and not ashburnt consistancy.

In general, a crispness with the tooth feel of jerky is best.

 

[Fangv2]

A mix between the two!
For if it's Crunchy then it's way way too hard for me. On the other side if it's Chewy then it's like a raw boot-strap.

CRUWY ftw!

 

[sunburst]

Chewy dosent mean slimy. You are thinking of FAT. A good lean bacon is delicious chewy.

Lean bacon? You're doing it wrong.

I don't like it soggy, but I definitely like it soft. I don't eat bacon so I can have chips, I eat it so I can have amazing-tasting meat. Plus then I can pack more of it in my mouth at once, and more bacon is never a bad thing.
