I don't have sound but I think this was the episode I'm thinking of

It's a beautiful clarification of why despite the fancier foods being nice to have every now and again for a treat, the fact that a bacon butty is always, always welcome elevates it to the top of the food chain.
Mrs C, I tried not to stray in to the crispy/non-crispy territory in the OP but I do have very strong feelings about bacon being overcooked. It's like eating a steak well-done. It's just not cricket IMO. Each to their own though, at least it's not streaky bacon.
Just cooked bacon is the nuts

I like the fat nice and crispy, though not burnt
btw smoked > non smoked
Brown or red sauce on a bacon sandwich?
Brown on bacon/ Red on sausages
Hate chewy fat!

I would go the other way. Brown with a sausage.
Or if its a big meaty german style sausage, then a really nice grainy mustard.
The liquor store round the corner from me carries this:

bacon beer. Haven't bothered to try it. Its bound to be rotten.
Used to be partial to brown sauce but don't imbibe these days. Always a smear of mustard on my sausages. Can you stll get Porkinsons Bangers over there? Used to take forever to cook as they had a really high meat content, but fabulous.
Crispy bacon to me means the fat crispy other wise I end up cutting every bit of fat away and it's cold before I get to eat it. Can't stand fat on meat of any description.
I dont mind the fat tbh and you can get fatless bacon medallions
gona ruin the thread lol, i hate bacon!
don't like any meat from a pig.
i am a bit odd though, as i love the smell of bacon and makes my mouth water, just cant stand the taste.

Has anyone tried Baconnaise? I want to try a bacon sandwich with some:

I'd be utterly distraught, and not just because they'd put a disproportionate amount of salad on it. (If you're wondering the correct proportions are 100% bacon, 0% salad.)
HAhahahah

OP
Bacon isn't the only thing the Americans have screwed up.
They have no idea how to make sausages, are clueles on Baked Beans (their answer for taste is to put a bag of sugar in a can of beans), and they have managed to make chocolate tatse like a potato.
And don't get me started on the most important thing.
Beer.
I don't mind the beer in the us, the main problem I have is with the size of the glass, they call it a pint at 16oz. That's not a pint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The thing I do like to do in us bars is wind up the bar staff by not tipping after every drink but at the end of the sesh!
