Bacon is one of the two reasons I fell off the vegetarian wagon.

The bacon show. If there was bacon flavored milkshakes, I'd drink them.

Ever since getting peanut butter, bacon, and honey sandwiches at Peanut Butter & Co. in the Village, it's hard to eat peanut butter any other way.
OK. Not that hard. But still...

I have an idea for a Bloody Mary with a hard boiled egg and a slice of bacon. Toast on the side. Tomorrow morning I will try it.

It's called a pig. Insert the turkey, insert the spit, have yourself a roast.

You're saying this like it's a bad thing? Or are you lauding the clever, judicious, and economical juxtapositioning of food groups? Now what are those other food groups...crunchy?...orange?

My sister has tried this brand of chocolate (Zotter) before and claims its insanely good, but also insanely expensive.

We had bacon martinis and bacon bloody marys at the last NYC meetup I attended. I've repeated my assessment many times: they're about as good as you'd expect.

Maple bacon ice cream here. Also, I'm lobbying my boyfriend re: getting married at Voodoo Doughnut pretty much entirely on the basis of 3 things: the bacon doughnut, the cruller chandelier and the black velvet painting of Isaac Hayes.
You can get a 2-pound bag of real bacon crumbles at Costco/etc. Put 'em on *good* vanilla ice cream and Oh. My. God.

Oh my... I love bacon; I know that certain cow strains have similar striated fatty deposits in the belly area similar to pigs. Is there a reliable way of obtaining smoked cow-bacon?
I've always wanted to try bacon dipped in molten chocolate but the best I've gotten my lazy-ass to do is dip them in maple syrup. Hmm, I'm going to have to try (very) thick-sliced bacon, crispy, in melted aged cheese (ancient chedder?). Cheese melted with dark beer (Newcastle? Kilkenny?. And a few slices of jalapeno. And a handful of chopped garlic. With cilantro. Maybe a small pinch of cumin.
Everyone knows to cut notches in the fatty side every 1 or 2 cm apart and 1 or 1.5 cm in so bacon will fry flat and straight, and evenly, right, so it's evenly - all over - just-crunchy and not-even-a-little-bit-burnt where there's still some fat on the white parts and it just melts in your mouth as soon as it touches your tongue and then there's the meat that disolves as you put your molars on them into sweat mouth-filling shreds? Right?
