FabSwingers.com forum: Is streaky bacon acceptable?

Having a domestic here over the viability of streaky bacon. It's getting a bit heated.

Apparently it is not acceptable in any circumstances.

Is this a popular view? In what circumstances is streaky bacon acceptable, or dare I say superior?

I would say with french toast and maple syrup or on a cheeseburger.

Streaky bacon for anything from America. Proper bacon for anything from Britain.

It's great for lardons, in in anything saucy or casserole and crispy fried for salad topping! Not for a breakfast!

Agree with this. It's definitely got its place but that most definitely isn't with a fry up!!

Yes it is.

Place it lattice style over your turkey while you roast it on Christmas day. Keeps the bird juicy and adds flavour to it.

The bacon should be remover about 1 hour before the bird is done and the bacon put between fresh bread with butter

I like streaky bacon fried and then before putting it in a white bread sandwich, wiping the bread around the frying pan to soak up all its fat.
