But then what?

@Soossie Ha! I agree with you. I love the old style bacon we used to get. It just doesn't seem to come that way any more. I guess it might from a butcher but I always use supermarkets.

@MethDozer Maybe we are interpreting 'flabby' differently. I'm thinking of the older style rashers that always seemed much thicker.

@fazer1k On it can be thick or thin. When I say flabby I mean with some of the meat and fat left soft and chewy instead of the whole slice crispy and firm.

Thick cut is better to me just because it cooks better.
