    Does “streaky” mean “uncooked”?

      In other parts of the world, bacon doesn’t have to be crunchy at all. But then it is also vastly better there, too.

        The part of the world this is from has nothing to do with it.

        Some people cook their bacon until it’s as rigid and dry as cardboard for some reason.

          And others of us cook it until it’s actually done, there is a middle ground ya know. It can be crispy and chewy without being rubbery, slimy, cold garbage like we see here.

      Not positive, but I believe other countries often refer to American style bacon as streaky bacon due to the ratio of fat on the slices.
