Who Wants to Raise City Chickens With Me?
I'm the person that Dorrie mentioned with the live streaming video camera on my backyard hens. So, if you can't keep chickens, but love them, you can watch mine. (www.hencam.com)
As far as keeping chickens in the city - anyone with even a slice of a backyard used to do it. The Biggle Poultry Book, published in 1895, remains a useful resource. Mr. Biggle called it the "urban hennery." I love that term.
Some hotels used to keep their own chickens, too. I've got a postcard from about 70 years ago, of the "Poultry Farm and Garden on the Biltmore Roof - The Providence-Biltmore." They even had a restaurant up there, so you could dine next to the hens.

Crispy AND pliant, please!

As Vincent Vega so eloquently phrased it in "Pulp Fiction":
"Bacon tastes goooood..."
Either way...crisp or plient...bacon is magical in any form!

Gorgeously crisp, with a nice fatty streak that melts in your mouth. Mmmmm. No wonder there are so many "bacotarians" (vegetarians who make an exception for bacon).
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
I like my bacon crisp, but with a little give to it. I usually buy from the local farmer's market so it's a thicker cut.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Pliant - but cooked through. Heaven on a BLAT!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
i'm going to be 'that girl' here and say in between. i don't like bacon that is so crisp it crumbles, it's got to have that little bit of chew so it doesn't fall apart in a blt!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
It depends on what the bacon is for - if I am making it to crumble over my salad then crispy. If it is simply to go with my eggs - pliant
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
count me in for crisp!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
OMG, I adore bacon. When I was pregnant with my daughter that would sometimes be what I had for dinner :D Crispy, please!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Although I can't speak for it personally, one of my best friends once dredged cooked bacon in maple syrup, covered it in pancake batter and deep fried it...definitely a heart attack in strip form!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crisp if as a side with eggs. Pliant in other dishes!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Ohhhh baconbaconbacon! I love my bacon when it turns that crispy, melt-in-the mouth reddish brown with that beautiful fringe of translucent fat. I may in fact *require* the BOTM club, but I'm not sure.

Baked off in the oven - Crispy on the edges and plant in the enter.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
I like it a little chewy and were the fat just melts in your mouth!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
I love mine crispy and on everything!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crispy for breakfast, pliant and chewy for sandwiches.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
I like my bacon both ways - bacon is delicious is all its forms. A single piece with both crispy and soft parts is the ultimate piece of bacon.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
I like my bacon extra-crisp and smoky.
Occasionally I like my bacon extra extra crisp, so a single bite turns the whole strip to bacon bits, but that is probably just because I'm not that good at cooking bacon, so I've had to get used to slightly burnt kind. A BOTM club, however, would force me to cook it well....
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crisp on the edges, chewy but not greasy in the middle.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crispy, crispy, crispy, even on a BLT. It makes for a little messier sandwich, but the "almost charred" flavor, married with mayo and a good bread, is to die for.
