Brutal question. Slices for me. The technical name is "rashers", but I've never heard the word with my own ears.

If you sliced it, it would be slices. So, I sliced the bacon is sufficient. I would cut or chop it into pieces. Lardons is a French word for bacon pieces which are rich in fat. I understand it's also in the English dictionary, but I've never heard an English speaker use the word.

Rover_KESlices of bacon are quite often called rashers in BE. HERE they are.Yes, I have an ancient cookbook that has such instructions as "take a rasher of bacon".
I have to have a unabridged dictionary handy to make the recipes from it because the terms are so old they are not used in modern (American) cookbooks. It still may be used in England, though.
