So Harry, Ron and Hermione eat bacon sandwiches. I think. Are those just bacon between slices of bread or do the English eat something else they call a bacon sandwich?

English bacon or streaky bacon? English is like canadian, streaky is like American. I bet those tools eat english bacon.

There is a VERY fine line between crispy and chewy bacon...and the most spectacularly cooked bacon walks that line with its eyes closed.

Great point. I am sorry but if I have to literally grasp my bun, crush it and pull with my teeth, just to snap off a piece of bacon...that my friend is chewy.

Just say no to chewy bacon.

He'll most likely never find this though as DCR misspelled his name and his vanity searching will turn up a big ole NADA!

As an aside, I would never grasp and crush the bun. I'd simply allow the entire freaking piece of bacon come off the burger, and I'd slurp it into my mouth like so much fatastic meaty ramen noodle.

But then the burger is without its bacon, you'd counter.

And I'd retort that obviously that particular piece of bacon wasnt meant to be enjoyed in a burger at all, but simply was crying to be enjoyed on its magnificent own. And frankly, if your burger suffers from missing a piece of bacon, its probably not all that good a burger to begin with. In fact Id imagine that the problem lies somewhere in the fact that you most likely slathered a bunch of ketchup on it you big dummy.

If the burger was just as good without the bacon, why add it in the first place?

:nono:

There is a reason that bacon stretches across the entire burger. Look at it this way, if a burger were a symphony perhaps it's bacon would be the Oboe. And an Oboe is best enjoyed scattered throughout a musical piece rather than in one big solo during the overture.

Sure Bach would still sound good without an oboe, but when the oboe hits it sure is sweet.

This question completely ignores the obviously baiting-intended inflammatory remarks of the rest of the post. Whats wrong with you?

I thought you've figured me out by now.

Bacon doesn't "stretch" across an entire burger. Its stuffed in by glutinous Americans.

Bacon aint no symphony, jack. Its a swirling mess of spiked bracelet wearing punks at a GBH show at The Metro on 7th and Camelback in 1985. Sheesh, by the way you describe it, I imagine you blotting the corner of your mouth with a linen napkin after each bite, too.

It is kinda gross. the idea of slurping bacon. But then the sentence ends with "bacon" and I go right back to "Mmmmmmmmmmmm Bacon."

What's the joke -- Hell is a French engineer, a German cop, and a British chef.

Canadian bacon is ham, not bacon, and in its proper place -- between a perfectly poached egg and a toasted (English) muffin, drowning in real Hollandaise, only Canadian bacon will do.

But on a BLT, anything other than 'murkin bacon is sacrilege.

Recently discovered that baking bacon at 400-425 degrees on a stoneware cookie pan in the oven is about the best way to prepare it for sandwiches -- stays flat, less shrinkage, crispiness can be perfectly controlled.
