My childhood fave was when dad brought home a slab of bacon (with the "rind" still intact). He would slice it THICK and drop each slice into a pan full of boiling bacon fat.
That came to mind when I read the latest issue of Texas Monthly magazine where they have a recipe for "Chicken Fried Bacon."
I'm sure that goes deep in the heart of many Texans...
