It usually is precooked but we fry it up anyway so that it's cooked better. You can eat it on a sandwich with eggs and cheese and french fries, chips, tater tots, hasbrowns, or home fries the small cut up potatoes. You can have it on a roll, bagel, American Biscuit, Bread, and Croissant. You can have it on a plate will all of that with the read part as a side as well. You can have it along side waffles or pancakes. It's so versatile. It's the same thing as Bacon that way!
