@Alistair Dabbs, Re Cooking.
If you're going to use all four rings, may I have a plate of "Floppy Bacon" please?
("Cooked but not Crisp" is another way to call it. As long as it doesn't go crunch it should be fine.)
I hate it when folks turn bacon into charcoal. What is it about bacon that prompts an otherwise talented cook to utterly ruin what amounts to a hunk of meat? If you went to a restaurant & ordered a steak, and the thing that was eventually laid before you were cooked like that bacon, you'd send it back as inedible & probably refuse to pay for it. But the moment it goes from beef to pork, it becomes ok to do unspeakable things to it?
Dang it, cook the bacon the same way you would cook Filet Mignon: tender, juicy, and delicious, not burnt, crunchy, & the gustatorial equivelent of gnawing on your galoshes!
*Shakes a palsied fist*
Danged WhipperSnappers! Bring me my floppy bacon & get off my Lawn!
