Not limp, not crispy: TMI!I like it cooked just not crispy. Not limp but not crispy either. A nice in the middle cook is good for me. We always have to tell them at restaurants not crispy. I didn’t think non crispy bacon wasn’t fully cooked.

My favorite common bacon is Farmland. It still has some rind which adds texture. What ever happened to Oscar Mayer bacon is most likely of Kraft being acquired by the Buffett conglomerate. Plus the Farmland is typically saltier which IMW is a good thing. Don't eat bacon often, but when I do I enjoy the heck out of it.

Appleton Farms is good stuff. Their Maple chicken sausage patties are very good too.

I worked at a hormel plant for a while. They make a cob smoked layout bacon better than anything else on the market. I'm not sure if what is in the package is the same as that was.

https://www.goodchop.com/?&c=KU-HAW...5D1KXMVkWjp0pkTl891L25SKitO0aTyYaAmkuEALw_wcB We buy locally directly from the farmers. Steak House quality at grocery store prices.
No idea what kind but my wife buys some bougie bacon at Whole Foods. It is good. Last night, she made BLTs for dinner. She made one package of the regular bacon and one of beef bacon. I told her first of all, it's beef, not bacon. It tasted ok. Nothing special. Sort of a combination of bacon and beef jerky. It was good on the sandwich though, the two meats combined.
Bacon cooking tip I learned from my friend who's a chef... Do bacon in the oven at 400 on a cookie sheet on a piece of parchment paper. Set it and forget it. No flipping, no nothing. Only drawback is you don't get the pan of bacon grease to cook your eggs in.

I'll break from the thread and post my least favorite bacon.....that's the cardboard bacon commercial food companies use to wrap scallops with for wedding receptions. That stuff isn't worthy of contempt.
I doubt a hungry dog would eat it.

Mine would. He'll eat anything.

I only eat bacon after my tomatoes are ready. Then I eat a ton of BLT's. This year I should have plenty of lemon boys.
Black label for me.

Usually Smithfield or butcher shop slab bacon near my place
Canadian bacon, but I don't fry it. I just slice it and put on sandwiches like any other cold cuts.
