      Nothing more IT-ish to ask than "what bacon is your favorite?" We've recently discovered an amazing brand of bacon that I'd love to share (just the info... not sharing my bacon!), so what's yours?

      Here's mine...
      (http://www.petitjeanmeats.com/Peppered-Bacon/productinfo/45/)

      I' have to say...$42 for bacon is a bit much.. Even the 'Thick cup, 4 1 pound packages is a bit much.. I balk at $8 a pound... but that's still less that PettiJean

      ...and worth every penny.

          My grandfather used to get bacon straight from the butcher and smoked it. My father-in-law is still smokes his own bacon. No brand of bacon comes anywhere close to these.

            I'm really not that into bacon... I get whatever is inexpensive at BJs.

              I concur but some bacon is just bad.

                That is VERY true.

                  Yeah we eat it very slowly. Worth the money but you don't go through it fast, that's for sure.

                    Peppered bacon? Why would you ruin perfectly good pig. Best bacon EVER? The ones that are fed nothing but dairy products for 2 months before being processed. I don't know of anything being sold in a store, but it's like bacon candy.

                          It actually isn't bad... my Sister-in-law is a vegan and most of the imitation stuff isn't too terrible. Not meat by any stretch but not bad either.

                            I preferred it to the nitrate infused "real" bacon even before I became a vegetarian. It's delicious.

                              Most vegan diets are actually horrible for me being diabetic. I'm much better off getting my calories from fat rather than carbs. So I've got a slight phobia about fake meat. Still, it's better than no bacon!

                                To be fair, most non-vegan diets would be horrible for you too. It's not that they are vegan that is the issue. It's that you need a very special diet.

                                My dad is diabetic and is basically a vegetarian now. Took him years to make the switch and he's not 100%, but it makes him feel so much better that he avoids meats now. Took over a decade of me, my wife, all his grandkids... being vegetarian for him to come around to it being an option, but he's much healthier and happier now.

                                Trust me, I can get plenty of fat as a vegetarian 🙂 Now we are real vegetarian (ova-lacto-pescatarian in the new hipster world of food eating names) so we have plenty of fat and protein sources, unlike vegans who have to work super hard to get that stuff. My protein intake is actually higher than before I went veggie, rather than lower. Mercury poisoning is a bigger concern.

                                  Anyone recall back when Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath? Sure, they kept using the name, but there was nothing the same about it after that, and it for darn sure wasn't as good as it was before. Apply the same archetype to bacon/veggie "bacon" (yes, they should have to put it in quotes on the wrapper!!). They kicked out the meat and the flavor, but they kept using the name. Anyone who has a clue knows it's a sham, but there's always a fringe group of weirdo's out there that think that Ian Gillan did a great job.

                                    Ozzy joined that new band, the Kardashians.

                                        Hey, it was @art_of_shred talking about reality television stars. Ozzy and the Kardassians are all the same to me... people that do shows on cable television that I've never seen but everyone mentions.

                                          This is one of my favorite brands of gourmet bacon.... expensive, worth it.

                                            @scottalanmiller well, Ozzy used to have artistic credibility, but no kardassian ever did. I can't sign off on calling Ozzy a "reality tv star" when I weigh his musical achievements in there, because Black Sabbath.
