I don’t care for bacon, it doesn’t have much flavor and is often just used for salt, or fat. I leave it out of almost all recipes that call for it and haven’t missed it yet.

    I don’t care for bacon

    That’s fair, everyone has their own tastes

    it doesn’t have much flavor

    Uh… what? 🤨 I think this is just objectively wrong

      It doesn’t, it tastes like the artificial smoke that’s added, if that flavor even survives cooking until crispy.

        artificial smoke

        Hmmm. So you’re eating low quality bacon and saying it tastes low quality.

        Alright.

        It sounds like you’re just eating bad bacon 🤷‍♂️ splurge on something from a butcher and then get back to us - it really is totally different.

        there’s unsmoked bacon out there which very much does not have the taste that you’re describing (I know because I specifically avoid that smokey taste).
