What does undercooked bacon taste like?
Chef's answer
Raw, green bacon -- cured, but not smoked -- tastes like dense pork. There's no getting away from the "porkiness," but other than that, it doesn't have much in the way of other flavors. In texture, it's much like prosciutto, but fattier. ... Smoking adds another dimension to the flavor -- smoke..
