I know how Mefi loves bacon. Here's a tasty-looking appetizer for all you crafty types who want to combine your love of pork with your weaving skills.

SLBS (Single link bacon snack) - though I'm not sure if this classifies as a snack or an edible challenge. Perhaps this is the no-carb alternative to the Fool's Gold Loaf.

And if you're wishing you could be bacon-wrapped, there are many bacon scarves available (as a bonus, the last two come with eggs).

If you slice it into 6 servings and eat 1 serving then you are only consuming 2 pieces of bacon. That's perfectly acceptable.

Wrapping stuff in bacon is inefficient. So is adding bacon flavoring to food. What if genetic engineers could alter human DNA so that our tongues were made of bacon?

How about stuffing it with a cheese omelette? If you live in Ontario, you owe it to yourself to try Cherry Pink Farms bacon. It is incredible and often actually works out to a better deal by weight than the cheaper stuff. I'm still salivating over the pile I ate new year's morning.

The smell of bacon cooking smells like someone dropped a slimy old boot wrapped in feces laden pig intestines in a vat of boiling leper smegma. Seriously, the basement cafe in my office building sometimes makes a batch of that that wafts up into the lobby. I should sue those bastards for all that olfactory abuse. It really smells like post-coital bubonic plague sufferers.

a friend of our made this at a party, and had various girls rubbing up against him while we were all waiting for the dish to finish baking, each of them blatantly using their feminine charms to get first in line for the awesomeness. That alone was, I think, more worthwhile to him than the finished product.

Seems goodness abounds! My 25 y.o. nephew decided to try his hand at a bacon concotion At the local pork store where all kinds of fresh cuts of pig goodness are available they sell big slabs 'o bacon. Seems these slabs were taunting him every time he went in. What could they be used for? Not being one to ask questions of the locals, nephew decided to purchase a big slab and grill it = bacon steak! Procedure: Place slab on grill and cook on low for an hour, maybe two. Watch pretty closely, seems to be shrinking and gaining some translucency. Keep watching, ooohhh, dandelions... over there..... come back to find grill aflame. Rescue baconcharsteak and cut off most of offending burnt stuff. Eat. Mainly salty. Something like very, very salty fried chicken cooked in old oil. Pork wins round one. Round two will encompass soaking slab 'o bacon in water first. Maybe will resort to broiling in oven to prevent flame-up.

Ah, bacon on the internet - it almost never fails to disappoint. Being from the UK, every time I follow a link about bacon - only to discover that it features what I would call streaky bacon rather that proper bacon (Canadian bacon to N. Americans, I suppose) - my heart drops a little. That said, this looks delicious. But it could have been so much more...

First, to martinc6: SCRAPPLE!!! Also from MD, but live in Pittsburgh, now, and man... I had no idea that scrapple was a Maryland thing. I thought they'd have that stuff everywhere. So many people don't know what I'm talking about when I mention scrapple. Stores have it, sometimes, but, well, sigh. 2nd, the end result, Step 5: Roll immediately reminded me of this.
