Crispy or floppy - how do you like your's?

I'm a crispy bacon lover. I love how the fat gets all hard and crunchy and the grease sort of caramelizes - there's nothing as good as crispy bacon.

HOWEVER, my husband and 3 children like what I call "floppy" bacon. I have to take their portions out before I finish mine (I cook the bacon in the oven). How do you even eat floppy bacon? You can't pick it up without it flopping down on your wrist. My bacon stands alert.

This is floppy:


This is crispy

though for me personally, this bacon does not have near enough fat on it.

Floppy, but not TOO floppy.

I don't like my bacon to break into a million pieces when I eat it. I like to have some juiciness to it.

(I also like my French fries floppy!)
