The point of this thread/poll is self-explanatory!

Anyways, I've never tried beef, goat, or soy bacon, but I've tried soy fake meats and wasn't ever content with them.

I'd have to go with Turkey Bacon!

Beef bacon sounds interesting and potentially not possible

You guys have no idea what real bacon tastes like.

Whereas your bacon comes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_pig_farming , in Serbia, farmers leave their pigs in the forest and only come to feed them 4-5 times a month. The pigs will get mostly feral but will (if properly trained) always come to their feeding spot in regular intervals even though they're completely free to go anywhere they want. Farmers are somehow able to recognize the pigs they own, despite each of them having a herd of up to several hundred pigs. Factory raised pigs taste far worse than those raised in the forest. Not that you Americans get to eat anything that isn't factory made.

I hunt wild boar each year at a place called Jack Ranch, but even that's not nearly as wild as what it sounds like you get at.

I will die of cancer from too much delicious processed food and you can pry them from my cold dead morbidly obese bloated corpse.

Also pork bacon, or none bacon.

I love bacon, but the whole bacon obsession is getting out of hand. I may need to take action.

If you find yourself suddenly craving vanilla ice cream with a deliciously sweet topping of ketchup, you'll know why.

To contribute to this fascinating and vital debate, I've tried turkey bacon because I heard that it was better than pork bacon. It wasn't.
