Bacon Ettiquette

Kansas City Star’s Dear Abby fills us in on the proper way to eat bacon:

DEAR ABBY: What is the proper way to eat bacon in a restaurant? — Mother Knows Best

DEAR MOTHER: It depends upon how you like your bacon cooked. According to Emily Post, bacon can be eaten as a finger food “when it is dry, crisp and served whole. If the bacon is broken into bits, served in thick slices (as with Canadian bacon) or limp, eat it with knife and fork as you would any other meat.”

I’d rather not order bacon that requires a fork and knife to eat—except in the case of Applewood’s delicious thick cut bacon.
