don't know - unless they are trying to say that twilight air is really crisp - (they must live in a different time zone than I do!)

It's an inappropriate comparison, to say the least. Bacon can be crisp (crunchy) and the air in the evening can also be crisp (cool and dry), but it's not the same kind of crispness in each case. I think it's a statement made for a slightly comic effect, just a play on words.

This is a strange simile.
Sure twilight air can be "crisp," but that usually means clean, cold air.
Bacon frying might be crisp, but it's very hot, not cold.
And who eats bacon at twilight, anyway?
I am deeply disturbed by your question.

For some odd reason, the author decided to get all intelligent in describing cooking bacon. What book are you reading? LOL It's just a description.

Where the hell do you lot get these phrases from? In all my years I have never heard anything like that phrase.
