Why is bacon so beloved?

It's alright, but as breakfast foods go it's one of the worst.

I can't speak for everyone, but I like it because it's such a useful ingredient. It's pretty boring just to eat it on its own, but that's missing the point. Bacon renders out a very tasty fat you can use to add flavor to other foods by sauteeing them in the drippings. It also makes a fucking fantastic roux for gumbo. The bacon itself can be used to bard roast gamebirds, or to wrap other lean meats. A small amount of it, chopped fine, makes a great base to add flavor to other dishes. Hell for many things you can even leave it whole, like tossing a chunk into a pot of beans or greens.

Fun fact: no one ate bacon for breakfast until the Beech Nut Packing co. hired a physician to write a short paper about the benefits of a large breakfast of bacon and eggs versus the traditional muffin/coffee/orange juice, then had it published in a lot of the big newspapers and magazines of the time.

I agree with OP, but one thing you gotta admit is that bacon smells delicious. I think for a lot of people it just has a Pavlovian thing that makes you think of a big-ass breakfast.

How do I know that is real? Anyone can make a website and publish fake articles in this day and age. Washington post isn't a reliable news source these days.

It was rare, is the point. A typical breakfast in the 1920's was coffee and a pastry. What DeBeers did for diamonds, Beech Nut did for bacon.

The guy responsible for this also made smoking popular among females. Don't remember his name.

no it wasn't rare. breakfast bacon was somewhat less popular in the cities in that era due to the success of the food industry hyping sugar frosted cereal as health food, but in the countryside bacon was always a breakfast staple. Mind you at that time something like 75% of the population lived in the country.
You'd have an equally solid claim that nobody in the US ate beef before the 1990's Beef Council "Beef Its Whats for Dinner" ads, and be equally wrong.

>hurr durr someone wrote an article saying people were fooled into eating bacon by marketers
Completely false, tard gobbler and easily demonstrated to be a lie by examining any 1800's settler writings where they cure bacon and mention cooking it for breakfast. Fug, my ozark raised great grandmother talked to me about butchering hogs, curing bacon and hams and eating breakfasts with bacon in the early 1900's. Even Huck Finn in Twains classic written in the mid 1800's cooked bacon for breakfast. Additionally, "side meat" (essentially uncured pork belly) is mentioned throughout frontier writings. Stop being retarded.

I like maple and brown sugar bacon.

Because it's smoked meat. Smoked meats are fantastic, and bacon is the most widely eaten one here in America. The smoke flavor gets into the meat and the fat, which is why bacon grease is tasty for whatever you use it for.

Here's a question for you, why is bacon cooked in the oven so much better than bacon cooked on the stovetop?

[Nicholas Parry (Orlando, FL) No.10909120]

making bacon from pork belly instead of buying from the store is so much better.

neither are as good as bacon deep-fried in a dutch oven full of bacon grease.

It’s like Texas and beans in chili. The earliest writing of the Chilli Queens as they were called, the street market lunch service near the military men, served chilli with beans in Texas...

I'd rather have a few nice sausage links instead of bacon.
