Bacon or Sausage? Which do you prefer?

[Purc]

My vote would be Yes. Both are very versatile, but I always like sausage with scrambled eggs, either/or/both with fried eggs. I can't see me having a SLT instead of a BLT and I want a sausage cheese dip not a bacon cheese dip, bacon crumbles are great in a salad but not sausage, etc. So, for me, it is a tie BUT if I had to choose just one, it's either.


I have friends that eat only bacon, friends that eat only sausage and friends that eat both. I can say with a clear conscience that I proudly stand and agree with my friends on this important vote !

[Hulagn1971]

I eat bacon more than sausage, so my answer is bacon.

[gboss]

Why don't we have both?

[Chuck in Charlotte]

I prefer bacon-wrapped sausage.

[Panhead John]

Best answer yet Chuck! 😂

What’s the most successful pick-up line in history?
"I’ve got bacon."

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

some would even say a sign of success is bringing it home, no one brings home the sausage (well ok maybe some people do, but most societies frown upon that)

[Sweaty Paul]

I voted bacon. However, I'm a big fan of the "Yes" vote. I wouldn't be upset if I was served one-or-the-other and didn't get a vote about what I wanted. I would relish both. That said, when folks say "bacon or sausage" I always think breakfast sausage which isn't fair given the panoply of sausages that are out there to be enjoyed. When considering the veritable cornucopia of various sausages that choice becomes much harder.

[Spinaker]

Yeah, we rarely ever get a vote that we want these days.

[Sweaty Paul]

Spinaker, I do love the concept of the vote. I read and reacted. Then I started thinking about it. Fun exercise.

[ssennott]

It depends on what I’m making but a slight towards Bacon.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

is that a Panhead John super duper rare fancy square plate surrounded by boring blue or cobalt plates and cups accented by a pitcher of not-your-mama's lemonaide?

[Sweaty Paul]

Beautiful centerpiece!

[HawkerXP]

BACON!

[RichieB]

I can't. Each have their own place for me.

I love bacon, but what's the line from City Slickers? "He ate bacon every day. You can't DO that!" Thus, I love bacon, but the nitrites in there try to take me out every time. Bacon has become the stuff I wrap stuff in when I'm smoking :-)

And I would argue that homemade sausage (no nitrates/nitrites) made into homemade sausage gravy made with whole milk from a local dairy and fresh spices from my garden, put onto homemade biscuits, is about the best @#$% thing I have ever put into my mouth. So I vote sausage with the idea that I am not dissing bacon one iota.

If I ate bacon everyday and I became Curly, from City Slickers, it would be 100% worth it. Love that movie.

[barelfly]

I love me some bacon…but if I had my choice for a greeeeeeeezy spoon breakfast, I get sausage. If it’s a breakfast burrito and I have a choice, it’s sausage. Something about the flavor of sausage that just can’t be beat! Or huevos rancheros with some greeeezy sausage and green chile!!!! Or red…or christmas!!!!!!!

but..bacon…yummmmm. Especially when it’s homemade bacon!

I also think when I go out to eat and have a choice, most places serve bacon to dang crispy for my liking. I like it a little wavy and chewy and you can’t get that the way I like it done, thick cut bacon with some chew!

so I voted sausage!

[Huskee]

I'm with you on all of this!

[Spinaker]

I am also with you 100%. The flavor punch is unmatched.

[Finster]

Bacon is what you use to make other foods better.
'nuff said.

[RonB]

I have been known to add sausage to a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.

[Huskee]

I wish there was a "Depends on the context" option, because to me it definitely does. On my plate with eggs = bacon. On a salad = bacon. On a breakfast sandwich = sausage. On a burger = neither. Eating by itself = neither.

[mnavarre]

Yes, but chorizo.

[Huskee]

Mmm, good stuff.

[Spinaker]

HUGE FAN! My SIL makes it from scratch.

[Andrrr]

Any chance you can get/share the recipe Spinaker I made some from scratch awhile back that I thought was ok but I think it could be better.

[snowswamp]

I prefer bacon and most places make it under cooked and rubbery or over cooked and brittle. I like bacon to be in the middle where it bends some and then it snaps so it’s both chewy and crisp. Sausage is a safer bet if eating out.
