Those looked so good, it made me rethink my silly vegetarian ways. So I made them with fakin' bacon (self-link). I readily acknowledge the bacon heresy, but they were still tasty. posted by annaramma at 3:01 PM on February 28, 2008 [1 favorite]

MMM. Put it on a bacon saucer and make a fork and knife out of bacon to eat it with. Also, instead of salad, fill it with...prosciutto! (may substitute bacon). posted by Cookiebastard at 3:54 PM on February 28, 2008

Dude, you don't fill this with *lettuce*. You fill it with *mashed potatoes*. And you put cheddar cheese and sour cream on top of it.
Mmm. Served with a refreshing cup of hot fat.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a vegetarian but never eat animals without wings or fins.
The bacon cups are amazing in their ingeniousness and decadence. Does anyone else remember the picture in an orange-covered (pulp paper) Guinness Book of World Records of the guy with over 100 cigarettes in his mouth, smoking them simultaneously? He had long dark brown hair and aviator glasses if I remember rightly.
I remember a rumor that he died a month after that stunt. That's what I think of bacon cups.

Last night I made meatloaf for dinner. I found a recipe (it actually was Martha's) that recommended covering the top of the loaf with bacon instead of ketchup.

Come on guys, have you ever tasted bacon and arugula together? Missing the “flavor synergy” tag is more like it. posted by ijoshua at 6:19 PM on February 28, 2008

I haven’t scarfed up any bacon since before most of the baconites here were born, and I never missed it until about five minutes ago, when I saw those tasty bacon bowls. Maybe its presque-vue or something happening all over again because I got the taste and mouth feel. Nevertheless its not a good idea to eat pigs nowadays for a variety of reasons. posted by Huplescat at 7:12 PM on February 28, 2008

bradth27: I can tell you from experience that there is absolutely nothing better than a bacon wallet.
So true. I sport one of those as well. My favorite is when people want to sniff it. I got it at the Mütter Museum, a must-see if you have even the slightest macabre streak and you're in Philadelphia.
And, let's face it, if you've been in the city of Philadelphia for more than 10 minutes, you have likely developed a taste for the macabre or run screaming from the city.
And I want bacon cups. posted by nosila at 7:23 PM on February 28, 2008
