Great question but I have to disagree and say fried tastes better although grilled is nice. If I'm pushed for time I do it in the microwave....scandalous! You dont get the same waft through the house.

Has to be fried; only in its own fat or a little spray of oil if needed. Done on a hot plate and pressed often the rind gets crispy.

Weather you like bacon or not, your father will always love you.

My mum used to cut the rind off and give it to me raw to chew when I was little, different era, loved it though, same as dripping on bread, loved that as well

Thin strips of smoky, streaked bacon. Fried to a nice crunchy crip and a bit of the leftover fat in the bun for some moistness.

Coronary st#angler? Perhaps,but oh so divine....

Who wants a bacon butty? I'm making some now!

Grilling removes moisture thereby intensifying flavours.

Frying does lead to a better textured bacon.

Im speaking from past experience.

Not had bacon in years.

It doesn’t

I fry mine low and slow so all the fat renders down, great for popping a slice of fried bread in

I actually microwave bacon - thick cut, 2 mins, then into a toasted bagel with a bit of brown sauce
