On a breakfast plate (like the one pictured below), how do you eat the bacon?
With knife and fork (or just fork)?
Or with your own digits?

One of the most expensive steakhouses in Toronto orders maple syrup candied strips of bacon, which are served as a finger food
much like this
Knife and fork.
It’s only finger food if its a breakfast sandwich. In which you need lashings of ketchup or brown sauce.
Of course, I’d be using back bacon, rather than streaky (American style) bacon. But the principle is unchanged.

Finger food. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone eat bacon with a fork.

The eternal question.
To answer my own question, on a breakfast plate like the one pictured, the bacon is the perfect “utensil” to dip, stir, and delivery vessel to consume the runny egg yolks.

Once the yolks are about 50% depleted from dipping or eating with the hash browns, I’d probably slide the eggs onto the toast and eat that with my hands. The sausage being fork and knife or with my hands would largely depend on whether I am home or in public.
American bacon (streaky) is finger food. Back/peameal/Canadian bacon is fork or fork & knife food.

It depends on wherecI am dining. If eating outside the house, say in a restaurant, a fork and knife is required. At home or in the backyard, the mitts prevail.
Toast is to dip into the yolk.
Bacon gets picked up.
