How often do you eat bacon?

Ohhhh, bacon. Just reading the word probably made you think of that smell—the sizzle, the salty-sweet aroma, the promise of breakfast getting very good very fast. It’s hard not to have feelings about bacon, which makes today’s poll pretty irresistible: How often do you eat bacon?

For some of you, bacon is a frequent flyer. Weekend breakfasts, BLTs, burgers, campfire cooking—it shows up often and proudly. There’s something about bacon that feels like a treat even when it’s familiar. Bacon is always a treat!

Others of you keep bacon in the “sometimes” category. Maybe it’s an occasional indulgence, a holiday breakfast staple, or something you cook only when the mood really strikes. You enjoy it, but not all the time, and that makes it feel extra special when it does land on your plate.

And then there are those of you who don’t eat bacon at all. Dietary choices, health concerns, or personal taste mean it’s a hard pass. These days, there are plenty of alternatives, and for some people, bacon just doesn’t have the same appeal it once did.

So what about you? Is bacon a regular part of your routine, an occasional treat, or something you skip entirely? Go ahead and vote in today’s poll—and thanks for chiming in. (Ugh. Now we’re hungry.)

Oh, and if you’re now craving bacon like we are, here are three non-breakfast bacon recipes. Yummmmmy!

When the garden tomatoes are ripe BLT’s for dinner once a week. Rarely the rest of the year.

Pigs don’t eat me, so I don’t eat pigs.

But given the chance they would eat you. Pigs are omnivorous. They will devour about anything…including bodies of large animals.

Unfortunately, I have allergies. But I love the smell.

Strips of bacon, occasionally. But crumbled bacon goes into multiple dishes: e.g., breakfast tacos, salads, mac&cheese.

3# of GFS Bacon will last us a couple of months, wife likes to chop it up and add it to other dishes. Maybe I will have it with eggs, but eggs once or twice a week with Sausage, Smokey Links or Bacon, it just fits in the rotation.

Back and forth between bacon and sausage. Bacon is pricey.

We love bacon but as full time Rvers frying bacon smells great when cooking but leaves a lingering odor. It also leaves a greasy mess that is not good for holding tanks. We solve this problem by keeping a Sam’s size bag of bacon bits in fridge. Great sprinkled on bread for BLT, on salads for a blast of protein or in scrambled eggs or soups. Not quite as yummy as freshly fried, but so much more convenient

Pre-cooked that is heated in a microwave is a good option inbetween raw and pre-packaged bacon bits.

2 pieces, once a week, for our Saturday morning breakfast.

Just sat down with my BLT to read my newsletter and this was the survey! If bacon is on sale, we indulge and my husband usually has bacon if we’re eating breakfast out. Otherwise, we’re baconless!

Very rarely maybe once every other month, but sausage Monday thru Friday one patty. Just like the spices.

When camping, every day for breakfast. But always cooked outside to avoid the smell in the camper. At home, a couple of days a week.

Seem to eat way more sausage than bacon. I guess it’s all those spices in the breakfast sausages I like.

On a rare occasion for breakfast and for BLTs. If in RV, it’s cooked outside on Blackstone; if at sticks and bricks, it’s cooked in an iron skillet on our grill’s
side burner.
