I don’t care for bacon, it doesn’t have much flavor and is often just used for salt, or fat. I leave it out of almost all recipes that call for it and haven’t missed it yet.

That’s fair, everyone has their own tastes
it doesn’t have much flavor
Uh… what? 🤨 I think this is just objectively wrong
It doesn’t, it tastes like the artificial smoke that’s added, if that flavor even survives cooking until crispy.
It sounds like you’re just eating bad bacon 🤷♂️ splurge on something from a butcher and then get back to us - it really is totally different.
artificial smoke
Hmmm. So you’re eating low quality bacon and saying it tastes low quality.
Alright.
I do not eat animal products anymore, but when I did there was a salt cured smoked bacon we drove into VERY rural Tennessee for, where I swear I smelled crosses burning, and that is bacon like no other. The smokiness is so intense. It can be shipped anywhere in the US and if you want to give real bacon a try it’s called Benton’s.
I like it, when it’s useful. But does anyone remember the 2012ish bacon craze that everyone fucking had. I think that was one of the first marketing over-reactions to an internet meme. Fucking bacon ketchup. Just add salt to my salt please.
You’re buying the wrong bacon.
doesn’t have much flavor
Are you just getting Oscar Meyer “bacon?” Cuz good bacon overpowers everything you put it on usually.
The crispy crunch is what I preferred to the actual taste of bacon. I’ve been trying to cook up sliced mushrooms for a similar texture, but I’ve been really unsuccessful in my attempts thus far. My omelettes have been woefully squishy ever since getting bacon out of my diet completely. Spicy pork sausage tho, I’ll have to look a pig in the eyes to give that up.
I like almost all types of sausage. If you want crispy, try toasting some panko. You won’t get any big pieces though.
Hey, I picked some up on a whim after remembering your suggestion and am now enjoying a pretty damn good omelet thanks to you. Cheers!
Assuming you’re referring to the Panko, happy to hear it worked out. 🥚 🍳
