Growing up, I hated bacon. Even the smell made me sick to my stomach. However, a few weeks ago I started thinking maybe I should give it another try and maybe I would like it. Well, last week I was having a period from hell and I went to IHOP with a friend and I ordered some. OMG it's like a gift from the heavens (if I believed in god or heaven). I can't get enough of it now. I went to the grocery store and was looking at all the bacon they had and the meat guy offered help. I told him I just devolved the taste for it and I didn't know what kind to get. He made a facet hen handed me this maple brown sugar bacon and told me it's his top seller. I made it for breakfast yesterday morning and I can see why. I went back to the store to get more and there was only one pack of it left. And I just got back from IHOP a few minutes ago. Let me tell you, two pieces isn't enough.

So bacon. How you do like it? Do you add it to anything to make a holy concoction? Are there any common foods you just discovered?

I don't eat pork, beef, or any kind of other meat except for turkey, fish, and chicken. I do really like turkey bacon though.

Turkey bacon is delicious too

I don't eat pork. I do eat turkey or chicken bacon tho!

I saw chicken bacon when I was in the store. I didn't know there was chicken bacon before. I did bye some beef bacon to try

Even before I went pescetarian, I never liked bacon very much. I also don't get why the food itself is such a meme and has so much Hot Topic-esque merchandise everywhere.

I did just discover Sushi recently. Man, I had been missing out.

- Bacon is delicious! :D

What I like to do is boil the bacon for a bit to take out some fat. Then, I fry them. I then use paper towels to soak up as much fat as I can. This is the best way I've found to make bacon crispy and less fattening.

Adding bacon to pancakes is AMAZING! Maple syrup and bacon work so well together. I also love adding bacon to lentils. It adds a good flavor.

Potato bread is the best bread ever. It's so smooth and tasty!

I'm the weirdo that cooks bacon in the microwave. It takes a while, but oh, my god, EVERYTHING gets crispy with no burn-y bits. I love a good crispy strip of bacon. =0D I usually have it as a side, but it's pretty awesome in a BBLT, no T. XD ...Before this local joint changed types of bacon, they had the BEST BBLT this side of heaven. The right tangy mayo, tons of thin crispy bacon and the perfect chewy bread. I also find it tasty on grilled cheese sandwiches. nods And I can't think of anything i've discovered lately on the culinary side, unless you count me trying the Lays flavors of this year. The biscuits and gravy and reuben are pretty darn tasty...with the truffle fries tasting like a smokey/odd sour cream and onion to me and the gyro (the one I REALLY wanted to like) is kind blargh.

I have a bacon rack that I use to cook bacon, the fat drips to the bottom of the rack. I only fry bacon in the pan on holiday breakfasts. I know its bad for me so I avoid having it in the house.

Bacon is yummy in Mac and Cheese Its also good in grilled cheese sandwiches

I like my bacon chewy. Wonderful little strips of salty fat. Throw some bacon fat in a cast iron skillet, throw it in a heated oven, and after it's all hot and melted pour in some cornbread batter. It makes the edges nice and crispy.

Tuna patties cooked in bacon fat are also good. Again with crispy edges.

A few months ago I discovered that I love buffalo chicken/sauce. The last three times I've gotten Pizza Hut I ordered a buffalo chicken pizza.

Bacon and pancakes? That sounds amazing! I'll have to do that sometime. And potato bread is awesome!

My family cooks their bacon in the microwave. I've been baking it because I've been getting thick cut and it says not to microwave it. We all love our bacon extra crispy. I'll definitely try it on a grilled cheese.

My sister uses a rack too. I want to try it but she is weird about people using her stuff so I won't touch it. I've been baking the bacon and it's super greasy when it comes out. I made some as a latenight/homework snack last night and put it on a bunch of paper towels to soak up the grease. It's so good though!

I prefer mine crunchy. That sounds really good. I'll have to make that sometime.

Buffalo chicken pizza is awesome! I made a Buffalo chicken dip for a party one time and it was awesome.
