Yeah, the skin is gross too, and I quit eating pork because there's so much fat on it, which has the grossest texture ever (also, I don't really like the taste of the meat). Everyone thinks I'm a Muslim, but I'll eat BBQ pork if the fat's been cut off!

I don't mind the skin if it's ultra fried and not grody. Pork is usually pretty nasty too, and yes-- especially the fat. I damn near burn bacon before eating it. Have/had you noticed bacon tasting off with a lot of brands? There's a couple that don't have "the taste," but with the problem ones there's something just.. gamey? I don't even know how to describe it. I wonder if you would have liked the BBQ pork we got the other day. It had all the fat trimmed, tasted incredibly, well seasoned, smoky(ey?) and even had a fewbits that were crisped slightly.

Same! :P I literally tell people to burn it; it has to be black. For some reason, I like bitter food, and burnt bacon is sufficiently bitter without being inedible or gross.

I don't eat enough bacon to be able to tell the difference.

Sounds nice.

I don't go full black, I get it to where the fat is completely browned and crisped. That little bit of bitterness there is nice though, I just can't handle it being borderline charcoal levels of burnt.

Hormel Black Label is a no-go, and iirc Hormel is just gross with bacon across the board. The publix brand Greenwise has some organic that tastes pretty nice and doesn't have the nasty flavor.

LOL, that's how I like it.
