Can't believe no one has posted the memest of all meme foods yet: Bacon.

Why did bacon become such a meme?
It's honestly not even that good.

Why the hell do people like it so much?
Ok, i'll say its fine on its own once in a while but it taste is so strong it block out anything else its cooked with and turns it into BACON GREASE
The only thing I can take it with is collards because the collards are so dank it actually matches the bacon's flavor in strength.

Overrated foods

Bacon is the current king of meme food

Also very true.

The Hamburger Sandwich is pretty definitively American, as are hot dogs. Apple pie we totally stole as our symbol.

The Chili-Cheese-Fries are also super American.
Hell, Chili as a whole (meaning the stew of spices, beans, and potentially meat) is pretty much just us and Mexico.

While that is recognizable as "bacon' to us, we use the belly bacon (Also know as streaky bacon, and, for a foreign purist: thinly sliced and cured pork belly) meaning it has a higher fat-to-meat ratio, and is generally darker in hue, from the curing.

Here's what cooked bacon is expected to look like in America.

Fellow /ck/, is it time we move to 7+1 chan? 4chan is becoming a shithole of vegans, sjws, etc.

What we normally eat, Brits would call "streaky bacon" I believe.

When I make beans, I like to add bacon. It tastes great when fresh. But, the next day, the bacon has a putrid taste.

Any way to fix this? Is the putrid taste a sign that I shouldn't be eating it in the first place?

This board needs a thread dedicated to the greatest food on earth.

Bacon.

Hi /ck/

Is there any way to avoid flying grease when you fry bacon? My stove is getting messy. Also, general bacon advice.

Thanks

>bacon is the food of the gods
>bacon is so fucking good
>everything needs more bacon

Why the fuck do people keep saying this? Are they trying to be funny or some shit? I mean, bacon tastes pretty good now and again, but it's not that amazingly good. It's just okay. It's just fucking okay. Are people saying this because it's cool to say, because Jim Gaffigan told a joke about it?
