I don’t have a particular aversion to pork per se but I don’t get big love that bacon gets. It’s too salty and the fatty bits are nasty – or it’s overcooked and dry.

    Definitely an unpopular opinion. I would suggest trying to crisp up those fatty bits. It’s still going to be salty though.

    That said, i rarely eat it because it’s seriously unhealthy for you, but it is not gross and it is delicious.

    I know a guy that won’t be around a kitchen that is cooking bacon. Makes him gag. People are weird.

    Bacon and chicken wings. Both are overrated

    I came to this conclusion myself recently. When added to other dishes, it usually overpowers everything and gives it a processed taste. Wrapping things in bacon rarely results in the optimum quality for the bacon or the item that’s wrapped. Also there is such a wide range of taste in the cure and smoke flavor in the common store brands, you never know what you’re going to get.

    I’m starting to feel the same way but I think it’s because I’m turning the grand old age of 38 this month and should really start thinking about my health a bit more.

    Don’t worry, that feeling will soon pass, probably by tomorrow lunchtime as we usually have bacon rolls for dinner Saturday 🙂

    You’re wrong.

    I HATE pork, but I make an exception only for bacon.

    I don’t like American-style bacon at all–it’s far too fatty…it’s essentially pork belly, which I don’t enjoy–but I do like English-style “rasher” bacon. The American kind just isn’t worth eating, in my opinion.

    I wonder if there’s any food, that never has been called gross in this sub

    Bacon is meat candy. You don’t like candy.

    I loved bacon as a kid but would eat around the fat. I loved chicken and turkey, but only white meat, and every time I got a piece of cartilage or a vein, I would be off it for a long time. I always hated organ meats. Could never eat anything off the bone. Hated wings. Went vegan at 16 and almost 23 years strong now.

    All meat is gross. That’s the real unpopular opinion 🙂

    Sounds like you have been eating shitty dollar store bacon.
