Crispy/well done bacon is worse than softer chewy bacon.

r/

Most people are aghast when I say this.

I can’t stand crispy bacon, its not a texture thing so much but a taste I guess.

Chewy softer bacon still tastes like im eating meat, like a joint of meat almost.

Whereas, to me crunchy crispy bacon can taste different and I dislike it.

    I agree entirely. I also prefer back bacon to streaky.

    British style rashers should always be chewy. The typical “bacon” should always be crispy. I will die on this hill

    I agree so no upvote. I dislike the bacon turning into a million pieces in my mouth because of the crisp and would like a bit more chewiness

    Hey chat, do I upvote or downvote if I disagree?

    100%. The upvotes will come from Americans who like their bacon to feel like cardboard in their mouth

    I like a happy medium… it has to be nicely browned and the fat rendered but if it crunches when you bite it… it’s over cooked,

    i know what you mean, i like my bacon to still have a little chewy to it. it gives it a better sensation than just straight crunchy. and the flavors… omg

    if it shatters like glass when the fork stabs it then I’m not going to be happy putting those triangular shards (somehow) on the end of my fork and into my mouth.

    Downvote for you, I am a picky eater and really don’t like the texture of crispy bacon so I agree.

    Then you will love Korean samgyupsal. They cook it to medium. I always have to tell the ajuma, I want to cook my pork more.

    I dont mind a slight crisp as long as the soft chewy fat is still there but it should definitely be bendable without breaking. If it instantly shatters into a 1000 pieces when you bight it you might as well throw it away.

    So I dont think it’s unpopular I know many people that hate burnt bacon even though it seems like a lot of people do like the burnt nastiness
