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.

    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. 🥚 🍳

    I don’t care for bacon

    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.
