I like BLTs minus the lettuce and tomatoes, lol.... And the bacon has to be crunchy!
Never had any luck finding decent bacon (or any bacon / sausages) in california. We brits know how to work the pig (food wise)
nothing to be sorry.they never looked appealing to me, and in hte past 15 years i haven't eaten meat.
i found imitation bacon bites at walgreen's. they are made of soy, and had no animal ingredients, so as curiosity i bought one pack of it (sounds gross, but wanted to try). i'll ask someone who knows (or remembers) how the real bacon tastes, and if the imitation is close enough to it. if not , i won't still try the "real thing".

Its as close to the real thing as soy gets to meat.

a big , fat, PORK based sausage. Denny's sausages were quite bad, but they filled my need, when nowhere else seemed to sell em. shocking!

It is, in fact, referred to as "streaky bacon" in the UK. It is a different cut of meat. UK bacon is called "back bacon". A friend of mine from the UK at first thought the US bacon was horrible... all fatty, etc. Now he can't stop eating it!
Here is a poem about streaky and back bacon. Poem link
And for you literal (as opposed to literary) minded, an nice summation with pictures of different bacon types. BACON
And wowser, just go to a farmer's market where free-range meat is butchered. They'll have great sausages of all types.
Handy bacon recipe: Buy a double bacon cheeseburger. Feed the buns, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, meat, and dressings to the pigeons. Eat the rest.

I have to admit, the smell of bacon being cooked makes me ill. I don't eat meat either, and have found that the Morningstar or Lightlife or whatever other soy bacon products are equally unappealing to me.

That's pretty funny but I would have to say, at least for myself, that there is no bacon (except maybe imitation tofu bacon) worse than the carbonized, shriveled Fakin' Bacon they use on your average double-bacon cheeseburger. Not that I would know, of course. I'm far too health-conscious to ever eat something as loathsome as fast food.
