I can confirm that US ham is not at all what we call Bacon. Ham is something else.
We have both in the UK, but I don't think the US has.

Eating a Bacon roll right now on my way through the midlands.
I'm so home.
This is what properly cooked bacon looks like
Exactly. Not sure why the OP posted an image of ham and called it bacon.
Bacon is just cured cuts of pork, there is no right or wrong. American bacon is traditionally from the pork belly so that's why it looks like that
For real. WTF is with that burnt stuff above? That's how it's done, chewy with a bit of a crunch on the ends.This is what properly cooked bacon looks like
I'm not going to let this fly. I just spent like 3 weeks in London and I had plenty of that kind of Crispy bacon in the bottom right picture. The meal wasn't even labeled as American style.
Also, good bacon in America is not that burned mess. It should still be somewhat jerky/chewy.

They are both good. Stop hating.
Although the cooked American bacon you post is a little overcooked for my taste.

No, it isn't.
It's back bacon which isn't the same as ham.

Looks like crispy fat with barely any bacon.
Both taste great, bacon is bacon.
Now biscuits, that's where you have the second war for independence.

1. The final picture in the OP is not properly cooked bacon.
2. I've had both "American" bacon and "real" bacon.
3. "American" bacon is wonderful and superior.

Well it tastes like bacon as opposed to tasting like crispy lard.
Depends what you prefer.
We have different cultures so we eat different things. They are both inferior to pork belly and pancetta anyway.
Both are good and have their place. UK style works well when it's the primary component of what you're eating (like eggs Benedict), US style when it's just there to give some taste (like in a hamburger).
Back bacon should just be called 'Backon'. Done.ITT - people who don't know what ham is and don't know what bacon is
and what's the head? Ham or bacon?
I respectfully disagree with the former and agree with the latter. Crunchy bacon is amazing.

What you mean is, UK Bacon is so tasty it can be all you have and it's amazing:
Whereas US Bacon can take a $15 Burger and be the worst part about it:
Why would anyone want to add burntness to their meal?
I was given bacon and eggs and it was just eggs with a side of crispy.
American bacon is literally garbage. Totally wasted meat, disgusting.
Also, "that's ham" has to be the most annoying response ever. No it isn't. It's literally bacon. Ham is a different thing.
