Do u cut the fat off bacon?

there are options in the database for 'lean only' for most meats. Not sure about bacon though. Would there be anything left if you trim the fat from bacon?0

I'd rather go without than suffer through a serving of Turkey bacon or Canadian bacon, which is really just a slice of ham
I've made the decision to cut out bacon entirely for now because I was eating too much too often, but if I were making it still I'd leave the fat on because that is the best tasting part.0 -

When I eat bacon I just eat bacon...I've been getting a nice thick center cut lately that's only about 100 calories per 2 pan fried slices.
I do. I don't like chewing on bubbles of fat. I cook my bacon just this side of burnt, and I tear off any bubbles of fat that didn't render.
Why not? It's my thing. I don't go all over the PB2 people, even though I think that's sacrilege.
Maybe I'm like this because I am Canadian.0 -

Canadian bacon doesn't have much fat . . .
As a Canadian, I eat many American and Mexican products, like Avocados, Oranges, and...American style bacon. I find American style bacon fatty, so I will tear off the big fat globs of fat.0 -

But the question is do you eat freedom fries or are you québécois?0 -
What the heck are Freedom Fries? I had to google that.>>>>google search<<<<<< Oh. Vive la France. Boo Poutine. Too fatty.0

Oh, and P.S. Don't you think now maybe that Iraq was a mistake? I say subdue those countries that manage to garner world-wide disdain (i.e. UN resolution). I am thinking now the US was tricked in to getting embroiled in a very home-grown (Saudi Arabia vs Iraq) dispute that has more to do with historical hatreds and greed.0

I'm embroiled in my cocktail while sitting next to my pool in mid-70s weather. What was the question again? Oh yea, are you going to eat that bacon?

It's 11C (that's 52F to you) here. Not too shabby this far North. Yay global warming.
We don't bother buying bacon any more. I have yogurt and fruit with my pancakes. I'll have a BLT once in a while, but those bubbles of fat better have been rendered to nothing or I'm tearing them off.0 -

Okay. But just so you know, I'm eating the last piece of bacon. And, since you're not eating it, pass the poutine0 -

I could see that...I was picturing someone trying to trim the bacon like you would trim a roast before cooking...0 -
I usually overestimate on my food anyways, and round up whenever possible. I'd say just log the amount of the full meal, by doing so, you lessen the error factor between calories in and calories out. But that's just me! xo0

@sunnybeaches105 if it were you, me, and the last bacon on earth, I'll make a play for it.0

Hold on. It just dipped down to 74. Let me put a sweatshirt on first. It's getting a bit nippy down here

Smart thinking, enjoy the bacon!

Ick. I feel bad for turkeys who end up as bacon. There is no glory in dying when your afterlife is lived as a strip of turkey bacon.

What is a medallion? Sounds very Gen Y, like a participation medal.0 -
I am having a hard time to even cut bacon because it is so good. however I don't see how you can cut the fat off the bacon0
-
Not to get off topic, but this reminds me of when I was younger older girls who would pat their slices of pizza with napkins... Then seeing the movie Along came Polly and the Phillip Seymour Hoffman character saying it was the best part and adding the dripping grease from Ben Stiller's to his slice - lol0

Different cuts of pork in different countries. The Aussie one you can pretty much peel the bulk of the fat off the slice before cooking.0
