I love both, they're just different
although the brits do sausages a lot better than our bacon. There's just an incredible amount of VARIETY of both here in Europe making it almost impossible to generalise.
The americans seem to have mainly german legacy sausages or italian legacy sausages, with polish, spanish, and jewish forms in a minority. Very very few UK or french varieties seem to have made it over there. American bacon seems to me to be a single kind cooked in a single way i.e. suspiciously straight streaky fried or baked until you can crumble it. It's weird.
I had an American gf who always claimed the drycure thick sliced smoked Wiltshire back bacon with rind I was eating was 'ham' but I converted her in the end. All she had to do was eat it really. It was easier to convert her to Cumberland sausage with mustard mash, onion gravy, and HP Sauce though
