Swine is haram.

depends on my mood at the time. i like both

>>12511266
>Eating pork
Enjoy your coronary heart disease

>>12511266
Thick-cut, burnt nearly to ash.
Thin-cut, extra floppy.

I like a slice thick enough that you get both textures

>>12511280
>this meme will never die
Soft bacon for sure

>>12511280
>t. fatty

>>12511266
Neither

Huge slab

>>12511266
I like my bacon "al dente", mostly crisp with a bit of chew. This is a texture you can only really get with meat. Crispy bacon has it's place, of course.

>>12511266
WHOA DUDE I LOVE BACON
ITS SO EPIC EPIC FOR THE WIN
LOL

>>12511266
generally soft, although cripsy has it's uses.
since you asked, i'll go with soft

>>12511266
Soft for most things, crispy for deviled eggs or salad topping.

>>12511351
>standard food item crossing cultures and millennia is soy
You're a cute one, you are. The pioneer women with blacksmith arms who built the USA and smoked pork belly would demolish you in seconds in a street fight.

It should be toothsome with a good mouthfeel.

>>12511266
Soft. I need that chew.

>>12511266
Crispy all the way. Eating my bacon should make my mouth sound like a Nazi demonstration.

>>12511266
Thick cut, cooked in the oven at 4:15 for 16-18 minutes. You end up with a nice chewy, meaty texture on the meat that you don't get on thin bacon while the fat will have cooked enough not to be rubbery or gross.

>former cook of pan-fried bacon
>former thin bacon lover

>>12511294
me too. the crispiness isn't so much an issue with a slice of proper thickness

Cook the pan off-center so you get both at once.

>>12511351
BACOOOOOOON

>>12511266
Crispy, always crispy.

>>12511266
They both have a time and place. To exclude one or the other would be folly.

nice and soft has more taste to me however thats mainly just eaten as is. if its too soft its gonna be garbage in a sandwich.

Candied Maple Bacon with a glass like texture

Begone snake worshiper

>>12511266
Almost burnt, so crispy.

>>12511266
Thick cut and soft I guess. I like to almost sear it so the dat is rendered and colored, but it's still got some chew.

Chewy unless I'm going to crumble it up over a baked potato or something.

>all these softies
where's my crispy bois at?

>>12511266

raw. that's right, I said it. you wanna fight about it?

>>12512971
Intuitively crispy is the right answer. It's kind of the main defining trait of bacon that separates it from other meats that it can be brought to that texture in the first place.
That said I can't eat crispy bacon. Fucks with bowels too badly having all those hard little bits of crispy residue hitting the ulcers. Used to love bacon when I was younger. That and popcorn are the two foods I miss most.

>>12511476
that turns me on

>The pioneer women with blacksmith arms who built the USA and smoked pork belly would demolish you in seconds in a street fight.
Nah, I would without hesitation put my money on some random male anon winning a street fight with a tough blacksmithing "pioneer woman." People greatly underestimate the strength gap between men and women. It's like the strength gap between chimpanzees and humans pound for pound.
Also there's a reason why the male hormone is literally the basis of all modern athletic performance enhancing drugs. Also just look at one of those random male high school vs. professional women's team matches they do periodically with hockey or basketball. Male high school team has always won in every case I'm familiar with.
Last also, here's that obligatory youtube video of the female firefighter who doesn't have the upper body strength to knock down a weighted obstacle course wall that a random non-firefighter guy busts through with zero effort:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb_WYGtZ7K4
It's nothing to be ashamed of (which you should get from the fact I likened this strength gap to the one chimpanzees have over humans in general). I just wish everyone would stop pretending it doesn't exist and accepts it would be ridiculous to place money on any random guy losing a fight with a random woman, short of the guy having Lou Gehrig's disease or something.

>>12513981
well yeah out of the gate if you take two people (maybe twins, one male one female) and control the way they live so that they end up doing EXACTLY the same things till they have matured and make them fight, the dude would win every time
but if you make the female train harder and build up muscle mass she could beat him no problem.

>>12514314
No. Even a random scrawny guy could overpower most women.

>>12514320
>oh anon... i cant get this bottle of soylent open...
you left too much hand grease when you tried to open it, next time just give it to me straight away and ill get it for ya!

>>12514320
>reading comprehension what is it?

>>12514380
Thanks for proving my point, she takes steroids (male hormones).

>>12514383
It's not a reading comprehension issue. It's an actual disagreement. Try going back and reading more slowly.

>>12514380
I could definitely beat her in a fair fight. By fair I mean no holds barred, but we both know when the fight starts. No sucker punches, basically.

She can even try to hit below the belt. I would crumple if she managed to hit my balls. Obviously. I could still overpower her easily. And I have never lifted in my life. I have simply noticed how women are always asking me to carry things for them, no matter how sturdy their build. They're just never as strong as they look.

>>12514388
>>12514393
>>12514394
>more muscle mass
>more training
>acheived it by simply training as hard as possible no steroids
"HORRR HURR I CAN BEET HER IN FITE EEEEEEE"
you are a retard, women just have to train harder than men to acheive the same goals, it is known.
and if someone is stronger than you, unless you know some sort of fighting style that they dont you are gonna get crushed, it doesnt matter how much you think of your ancestors and play the rocky theme in your head.
okay sweety?

>>12514394
Yeah, it's a hard stop power gap, not some arbitrary minor difference women can overcome with a little gym time. Weak and emaciated male will still have a wiry strength that overpowers a heavy woman, because again, testosterone is literally the foundation for all athletic performance enhancing drugs, and women only produce an incredibly tiny quantity of testosterone.
Hell, even when you take a man with a lifetime of natural testosterone production and put him on testosterone blockers and female hormones he STILL ends up massively overpowered (pic related).

>>12514418
No. I would beat her. Even if it's just an arm wrestle. I've been frequently surprised by how weak women are when they appear to be strong. Now I understand my own strength better.

thin cut, always cooked crispy, but not too much

i want the lean parts to be crispy but the fat to just melt in my fucking mouTH GOD

>>12514418
>you are a retard, women just have to train harder than men to acheive the same goals, it is known.
No, it's not just "women have to train harder." This is the kind of idiocy you pick up from all the well meaning but horribly misleading girl power children's entertainment media growing up where the cartoon girl "trains hard" and can beat up full grown men.
You might as well say a prepubescent child would "just have to train harder than men to achieve the same goals." Same basic issue which is that you're treating a massive natural power gap as interchangeable with being a little out of shape but still a full grown adult male.
>fighting style
lol, get the fuck out of here. I bet you think Bruce Lee could have beaten Brock Lesnar in a fight too.

>muh life experience
read a book gramps, you dont learn anything by watching karate kid..
its weird how it went from people now agreeing that there are differences between men and women to "ITS JUST A POWER GAP MEN ARE OP AND ARE SUPERIOR ALWAYS NO EXCEPTIONS REEEEE"
soft bacon, crispy tends to not have as much flavor where i get it

>>12511291
This

>>12514443
It's just reality. Ignoring that is like pretending chimpanzees aren't strong as fuck for their weight. Would you be jealous of a chimpanzee?

>>12514450
these things that you are saying... its amazing how you dont understand, strength is not just being a man, its training hard for it, right? you have to do work to gain more muscle mass and in turn become stronger-so you go to the gym.
Now a woman wants to do the same, but she lacks the same amount of hormones that promote muscle growth so she can
1 train hard, really really hard
or 2 take testosterone and cut corners
both end up in the same place, having more muscle and therefore being stronger with the exception of the second one losing her female frame.
now tell me HOW IN THE HELL will a scrawny dude beat that woman, if she has the same amount of muscle mass as a dude who went to the gym, if he cant beat the dude then he cant beat the chick, its the same thing.

>>12514465
If a woman abuses steroids (male hormones) it'd help for sure. But see:
>>12514420
Exogenous hormones can change things, but they're not the same as the hormones your body is exposed to naturally throughout the course of your development into an adult of one sex or the other.
>HOW IN THE HELL will a scrawny dude beat that woman
Same way a tiny chimp will beat a comparatively larger man.
>same amount of muscle mass
It's not going to be exactly the same unless the woman is seriously deep into steroid abuse, and even then she's still got a female frame, female bones, and a history of female hormones growing up.

>>12514465
I wrestled a woman who trained really hard once. I won. It wasn't arousing and I didn't get to fuck her. It was humiliating for her and she never wanted to see me again. But I beat her. I never trained a day in my life. I just work physically on construction sites. Carting barrows of bricks around and dragging packages up stairs and stuff like that. It's not that physically demanding, really, but obviously the bitch I pinned three times in a row despite her rigorous training regimen would have had more trouble with it.

>Previous studies have identified over 3,000 genes that are differentially expressed in male and female skeletal muscle. Here, we review the sex-based differences in skeletal muscle fiber composition, myosin heavy chain expression, contractile function, and the regulation of these physiological differences by thyroid hormone, estrogen, and testosterone.
>Studies of vastus lateralis biopsies show fiber-type CSA to be larger in men than in women. Specifically, type-I fibers are 19% larger, type-IIA fibers are 59% larger, and type-IIX fibers are 66% larger in men than in women (normalized to total biopsy section analyzed)

>The women were approximately 52% and 66% as strong as the men in the upper and lower body respectively. The men were also stronger relative to lean body mass.
>Data suggest that the greater strength of the men was due primarily to larger fibers. The greater gender difference in upper body strength can probably be attributed to the fact that women tend to have a lower proportion of their lean tissue distributed in the upper body.

>Pound-for-pound, chimpanzees are 1.5 times stronger than humans at pulling and jumping tasks, according to new research published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This strength is not the result of the chimpanzee’s physical form, its range of motion, or a newly-discovered dedication to bench presses and deadlifts, but instead, the product of how the fibers in chimp muscles are distributed.
Can't just exercise your way into a completely different muscle fiber structure. You can make what you have better, but you can't make yourself male.

I remember thinking how weird it was when I was a freshman starting out on the track and cross-country teams and realizing the slowest, worst shape guys on our team were running far ahead of our best female runners, every time we all ran together. It just wasn't even close.

>>12514515
I imagine it'd be pretty difficult to perform a surgery where your male muscle fiber distribution and male skeleton are replaced.

>>12514616
But I know I'm a woman and physical reality has to match my imagination or it is racist.

Never understood soft bacon. What's the point? Might as well just get ham.

The best bacon is baked on the back of a turkey. Deep fried is also great.

>>12514314
i think the science shows that at the average, a male has five times the upper body strength and three times the lower body strength of a female. that's not the kind of strength increase you can realistically train into someone naturally. the actual overlap between men and women is very small and you'd have to actual seek out outliers at both ends to find a woman that's stronger than a man

>HOW IN THE HELL will a scrawny dude beat that woman
Because as scrawny as he is he's still at least not a woman. Different muscle fiber composition and frame still even if the woman weighs more. Would you rather get shot with a small bullet or a larger paintball?
>>12511266
Crispy obviously.

This is based and all of the retards desperately trying to deny this is cringe. There’s a huge physical gap between men and women, there’s also a huge mental gap, but let’s just pretend we’re all equal while women work as cashiers and waitresses while men work construction.

They ended up tougher than shit if they survived child bearing. The weak were culled during that act. You and the other neets itt simply can't conceptualize the amount of physical labor a homesteader on the prairie performed daily, sunup to sundown. Because of that, if the husband wasn't a good for nothing drunk, they ate better than we do today.

>>12517660
I'd cope by shitposting too if I was such a manlet that an average untrained woman could beat my ass.

>>12517660

Psychologically maybe. Physically, read the thread. Women can only work with what they got, which is completely different in literally 3000+ different ways that collectively blow the fuck out of any physical training you try, be it laboring on a prairie or any other approach to strength building.
>The weak were culled
That's always been an overwhelmingly male phenomenon, not female. You literally have twice as many distinct female ancestors as distinct male ancestors. Women are the sexual selectors. Men are the products of their long term selection enterprise, hence the huge power gap between men and women. It's really women's own fault for selectively breeding their men to be that much larger and stronger than they are.
