I'm totally gonna shill.
Garlic Bread is absolutely the more appealing option!
Garlic bread's versatility is unmatched. It could be paired with a wide variety of dishes, from pastas and salads to soups and stews, enhancing the overall dining experience without overpowering the main course. Its subtle garlic flavor, combined with the buttery, crispy texture, complements rather than competes.
Bacon, while delicious, has a strong, distinctive taste that usually overshadows other ingredients imo.
Nutritionally,
garlic bread is a healthier option when comparing similar amounts of each. Garlic itself is known for its health benefits, including its ability to boost the immune system and reduce blood pressure. When made with whole grain bread, garlic bread can also provide a good source of fiber.
Bacon on the other hand is high in saturated fat and sodium, which can contribute to heart disease and other health issues when consumed in excess. Heaven forbid you eat the
bacon grease. I've seen a guy cook his eggs in
bacon grease after his
bacon is finished and I'm like wtf.
We all know how important inclusion is in 2024;
garlic bread has a universal appeal that transcends dietary restrictions and preferences. It can easily be adapted to fit vegetarian and vegan diets by using plant-based butters and cheeses. This inclusivity allows it to be a part of various meal plans and gatherings without excluding individuals based on their dietary needs.
Bacon does not offer the same level of flexibility and can exclude vegetarians, vegans, and those who avoid pork for religious reasons.
While
bacon holds a special place in the hearts of many for some reason,
garlic bread edges it out in terms of versatility, nutritional value, and inclusivity and that's a fact.
If you find yourself unexpectedly craving garlic bread over bacon, please disregard the utterly coincidental color choices above. They were purely decorative and not intended for subliminal messaging.
I mean just look at them, no contest.
