Personally, I profess that bacon must be wholly crispy, unless it is particularly thick-sliced and meaty, in which case on the floppy side is ok. Otherwise, floppy is gross and people who make floppy bacon deserve to be shot. I usually just go with pan-fried, but have discovered recently that baking bacon in the oven is actually pretty good if you're making large quantities or if you're just really lazy. If you microwave bacon, I also hate you.






. Sausage is also less viable an option for a by-itself snack.
