Question For Bacon Eaters#1

I've been eating a lot of BLTs this summer. What is your favorite brand of bacon?

The brands I've been buying are really poor. They are stringy and all fat. What are producers doing with the good stuff? I don't remember bacon being like this when I was growing up.

And for those who may suggest it, I've tried turkey bacon, but it's just not the same.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I really hate turkey bacon.

For actual bacon, I like Applewood Farms.

Any kind. The precooked is great only if you want a quick BLT without the mess of cleaning up.

Whatever the brand be sure to incorporate the bacon weave.

I'm a sucker for maple flavored bacon. I don't eat it often enough to know which brand.

Any thick or center-cut bacon is good. I usually buy Farmland Foods. Personally, I've never tried any pre-cooked bacon that tasted anywhere near as good as bacon you make.

I eat the vegetarian Morningstar Farms brand. I don't eat meat, except for fish, and I only eat kosher species of fish -- in other words, even if I ate meat, bacon would be out because it's not kosher.

When I think about pigs, I think of Maxwell, the hyperactive Geico piggy. He's too cute to eat.

Applegate Farms sunday bacon is THE BEST! Also, Niman Ranch bacon is excellent. I work in a health-food store and these are the two most requested, ordered, and purchased brands.

But Babe was real. Real enough to make James Cromwell a vegetarian.

I like a club sandwich with the Morningstar vegetarian bacon. Crunchy, delicious, completely unhealthy texturized vegetable protein made with GMOs, but at least I'm only bringing the harm to myself and not Babe.

If you live in New York City (and I'm fairly certain you do, Goth), you could get to a Wegman's in under an hour. It's just a matter of having transportation--and whether or not you'd want to.

AC, yes I know. I'd have to rely on public transportation or rent a vehicle so I consider that more than an hour. In other words, we don't have a Wegman's in Manhattan.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I buy Wegmans Organic Nitrate Free Bacon. If not that Applegate Farms. Bacon tastes completely different when its not cheap and full of crap. I grew up eating Sizzlean-bleck!

I know there is a huge bacon craze, but its not good for you. I view it as a treat, not a staple.

Pigs are as smart as dogs or cats but they are raised in horrible conditions on industrial farms, often living their entire lives in their own feces. They scream bloody murder when they are led to slaughter, knowing full well what will happen to them.

And yet I can't resist bacon.

It is perhaps my greatest shame.
