14. It is the most food-centric orgasmic taste you'll ever discover
First, the Bacon is cold. And cold bacon not only is salty but has that build-up of fat deposits that give Bacon the extra 'ooo-so-yummy' taste to it. The cold bacon is then dipped into a fine milk chocolate that encapsulates all that grease and salt.

Since I've had not one but TWO slices of this - it's an amazing experience to the mouth when you bite into the chocolate sweetness but encounter the savory, salty flavor of the bacon. Your mouth will scream out for MORE after trying a piece of this.

57. we make that all the time..
just cook the bacon first about 75% complete and then chop in little pieces. Then add to the pot with your brussel sprouts in it and cook the sprouts however you like them!

Personally, bacon has the opposite effect: adding it to things generally makes me want to barf.

I can just imagine the cool strips of savory, salty goodness warming to the temperature of her soft globes of goodness, the first droplets of moisture beginning to appear dotted all over their limp CRISPY! surface. The drops of grease, that must be licked. OH!

'Scuze me. I think I hear the toilet running....

Does wrapping bacon in bacon make bacon taste better?

Such a conundrum cannot logically exist and would therefore snuff out the universe in a puff of illogic.

Reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons where Lisa becomes a Buddhist:

Homer: So you think you know better than this family, eh? Well as long as you're in my house you'll do what I do and believe what I believe! So butter your bacon!

Bart: Yes father.

Lisa: Mom, dad, my spiritual quest is over!

Homer: Hold that thought... Bacon up that sausage, boy!

Bart: Dad, my heart hurts!

25. I'm honestly trying to think of something
And while I personally probably would not eat most of them, I still would not find them objectionable.

Bacon goes well in salads so thus it pairs well with most raw veggies.

It goes nicely with sweet and savory breakfast foods, so that covers the pancake/donuts and all of the egg-based dishes.

Soups? Can't think of one that would be offended by bacon.

Bacon enhances many cooked veggie dishes. Same with pasta dishes (although I've never thought to add it to a red sauce, but it wouldn't ruin the dish)

And of course bacon plays nicely with beef, poultry, seafood, offal (liver in particular)

I suppose desserts is really the only category where there might be candidates, but again, I can't really think of one that would be horrendous if bacon were added.

What an odd and glorious food.

27. This is an insult to bacon, and things bacon gets put on.
Bacon is only good for two things.

1. Bacon. Just by itself. Often with breakfast.

2. BLTs. The only thing that makes bacon better than just bacon itself.

Everything else is crap.

Take a bacon cheeseburger, for instance. The bacon covers up the more subtle flavors of the cheese, beef, bun, etc. thereby ruining it. And all that extra stuff just dilutes the flavor of the bacon itself, which would be better by itself.

The Great Oz has spoken.

41. Tiramisu. Don't go there. Ditto lemon meringue pie,

coconut cake. But seriously, I can't imagine bacon being good in pot roast, chicken and dumplings, with pork chops or ham (overkill, pun intended), in veal Marsala, etc,

You can't go wrong with BLTs, though, or grits and bacon.
