Never eaten bacon, but a lot of people pretty much worship it, so yeah, it is overrated.

Bacon Is Too Overrated. It's Just A Piece Of A Pig, Nothing Special. And Most Of It Is Fat.

Down With Bacon's Godlikeness!

Yes. Bacon is terrible.

Did I just read that bacon is overrated?! Who's the slimy little Communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker who just signed his own death warrant?!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Of all the fine creations of God, BACON is the third finest after women and booze. One of the best feelings in the world is dipping your fist into a bucketful of hot crispy slices of bacon and munching that fistful down with lard trickling down your cheeks.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.

Christians don't, of course, but then Christians couldn't even be bothered to ban cannibalism. Although they do have a curiously odd insistence that humans taste like dry wafers.


A Western heresy, I can assure you.

Orthodox Christians use proper leavened bread rather than dry wafers when consuming the body and blood of our incarnate deity.


But why do you worship a god made of bread? Is Jesus the Pillsbury doughboy's distant ancestor or something?

I just don't like the saltiness of it. Also, it's very oily.

Bacon is the closest thing to being God and still being real.

Yes, dont get me wrong I like bacon. It is nice as a source of extra flavour and texture or on its own.
It can easily get too much for my own taste though.

What's the difference? Aren't they all bacons? :p


They legitimately are different. I remember visiting the UK as a kid and eating bacon from a breakfast buffet on the island of Jersey and being confused because it was not like any bacon I had ever seen in the US. The American version is more thin and crispy, and the British version is more meaty.

Isn't it because the slice is thicker? :p

Really, they're not.

Having consumed bacon on every permanently inhabited continent, I can vouch for the fact that they're not the same at all. American bacon cooks differently from bacon in most of the rest of the world, and even tastes different. American bacon is only cut from the belly (there's a greater range of potential cuts in other parts of the world), so tends to be very fatty, and is generally cured differently - and because of the amount of water commercial American bacon contains, it tends to shrivel up more when cooked.
