It should be thick enough to stab with a fork.
If you don't think so you are probably a nasty hippyhomocommiepetafag. |

Thick cut is the only way.
Unless the missus buys it, in which case it is thin. I have no idea why, but while likes thick cut bacon, every time she buys bacon, she fails to look for thick cut and always brings home regular cut. |

You forgot about the whole thick, delicious and crispy. Not floppy like a condom

I would say middle-of-the-road thick. I recently bought a 15 pound box of Wright brand bacon at a restaurant supply store and got the "extra thick" stuff. That sounded like a good idea, but the reality is that you get a lot fewer slices that way. Even if they're marginally thicker, we can all agree that more slices of bacon = more happiness (as long as the slices aren't too thin). The biggest problem with thin bacon is that you can't cook it floppy. Everyone knows that crispy bacon is bad.

Thin and medium rare. No one else in my house will eat the bacon I cook.

Cooked so that it is not crumbly or chewy, but breaks off when you bite into it. and sliced around .100" thick.

Poll fail, I like both.
I like the thin kind cooked crisp, or the thick cut cooked tender. ![]() That does it, I'm gonna get the griddle out and make bacon cheeseburgers today. |

Cut off the side like a steak and roasted over an open fire for the win.

1/8" thick and if you can hear it crunch it's too done.
Crispy bacon is a blasphemy to the baby Jesus and makes him want to curb stomp kittens, ![]() |

MEH -Thin bacon on cast iron is better than no bacon at all..... ![]() http://m2.i.pbase.com/o4/72/325172/1/110944882.IWcYA8fP.14.jpg View Quote True. Thick and cast iron cooked. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() but NOT crispy. I mean not raw but... if it's cooked to the point where it's rock hard then it's gross. |

You can slice it any way you want, but you best not be complaining about people cooking steaks well-done if you like crispy bacon because the same thing applies. Crispy bacon is overcooked. Period, end of story. Heck, it event tastes like charcoal because you've cooked all the meaty goodness out of it.

all bacon is good bacon ,I shall not discriminate
![]() but thick is best i suppose |

thick, but not too thick.
Pepper encrusted is my favorite. With a drizzle of honey on it. |

There is no bad bacon. Then there's this: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pink-peppercorn-bacon ![]() If your bacon doesn't have pink peppercorns, FUCK YOU! |

If I'm stuck with sub-par thin bacon I cook it folded over double and cook twice as much. Never crispy!
|
|
Get both.
I use thin cut for sandwiches and thick for eating by itself or chopping up for my mashed potatoes. I even have different uses for limp and crispy bacon. It's ALL delicious! |
|
I would say thick cut if served by itself, like for breakfast, and thin cut on sammiches, burgers and biscuits and such.
Either way, bacon is glory. Bacon is love. Bacon is life. ![]() |

Doesn't matter as long as it's crispy. I see you guys like well-done steaks as well... I like crispy bacon, but steaks I'll eat medium rare to rare. I don't have a huge problem w/ blue rare but I prefer a warm center, and I've had steak tartare which was good. Beef is good rare. Pork should be cooked properly. |

Thick Applewood smoked and with the right balance of chewy and crispy. I like my bacon with equal amounts of crispy and chewy.
