When you stay away from bacon fat, it's silly to even bother with the
rest of the rasher. Even when it's cooked "well done", there's still
a lot of fat left. It might be brown and crispy, but it's brown and
crispy fat. I've been buying deli style Black Forest ham from the
refrigerated section and when it's fried up, it's a good substitute
for bacon.
