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.

    Yes, American bacon strips. Once you get to candied bacon, you can get that flavor with candied anything, maybe add some smoke or maple syrup. I don’t think I’ve ever had thick bacon of any sort.

      You can easily find thick cut bacon at any grocery store. It’s far and away the better choice. If you’ve cooked bacon before, you know it’s a nanosecond between “done” and “overdone,” and you also have to stop cooking it before it’s “done,” because carryover heat will continue to cook it after it’s off the heat.

      Oh, my sweet summer child. There’s a restaurant chain in Chicagoland called Lazy Dog. I don’t know where else they are, if anywhere. Go there and get their candied bacon.
