I overheard this discussion at work and thought it was quite funny, so I'm going to ask it here...



Which is the superior pork product, bacon or ham?

    Bacon. So sweet, so quick to make, have it crispy or chewey, or a little of both.

    This question reminded me of a Simpson's quote:



    Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?

    Lisa: No.

    Homer: Ham?

    Lisa: No.

    Homer: Pork chops?

    Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.

    Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

    All your suggestions are nice...



    But some of you aren't answering the question.



    I'm asking, out of bacon or ham, which pork product is superior? (And why?)

    Dilemma solved: Wrap a ham in bacon!!



    Hmm, I live in the South now, kinda surprised I haven't seen it yet already!

    They have every other possible pork product known to man down here....

    bacon is a dime a dozen.



    how often do you eat a nice cooked ham?



    well-- i like mine cold the day after (thickly sliced on a sandwich-- a little butter)

    Depends on what you want. If I get a hamburger, I like bacon on it. I just like the taste of it, and the crunch. By the way, at the market I buy bacon and ham without nitrites, etc.



    If you want nutrition and protein, bacon is worthless. Get ham. I like ham and eggs for breakfast, the eggs poached lightly. (So much for my raw food diet.)

    Snoop, I like where you're going with this.



    But it's just based on overall superiority. The nutrition factor gives ham some points, but bacon is hard to beat on taste.



    I still need more debate.

    Bacon offers a super knock-out punch of flavor in a small package.



    Bacon can be used to wrap other delicious foods.



    You can cook other food like homefries in leftover bacon fat to spread the love around.

    Once I ate about a half pound (pre-cooked) of bacon in one sitting. This was back when I used to run ten miles a day and needed all the calories I could get. But it was difficult. Even eating a quarter pound of bacon can be difficult. Ham on the other hand is a meal.



    Anyway, I really like Amish country ham. I suppose that overall I would find ham "better" than bacon, but since I can have both I will continue to have both.

    What would you consider "Amish Country Ham?" the man from Lancaster County, PA said.

    Oh, and I have to go with ham on this one too. I'm not really a fan, but still.

    More or less a leg of ham that has been butchered and cured by people in your region. Obviously, there are probably different tweaks, but the ones I've had (all from PA) have all been similar and tasty.



    The basic characteristic is that they are salty and not sweet. I'm not a giant fan of sweetened ham.

    I had bacon wrapped banana a few weeks ago for the first time. Man, was it freaking delicious.
