Bacon Would Be Delicious On...
We at AOL Food strive every day and in every way to say "yes" to bacon in its myriad, munchable forms. From tippling bacon martinis at Las Vegas' Double Down Lounge and evangelizing about Vosges' bacon chocolate bar to candying it and churning up our own bacon ice cream, we've taken bacon in almost every way imaginable. Still, we can always dare to dream...

A Vegan Tofuburger
Some of the seitan and soy-based versions we've sampled actually aren't all that bad, and even taste only just a teensy bit like soggy drywall. Bacon would really up the yum factor.

Movie Popcorn
Yes, we're well aware that movie popcorn is, short of drain cleaner and black tar heroin, one of the very worst substances one can possibly put in one's body. It's also one of the most delicious, so imagine how yummity it would be with wee cracklings of bacon strewn throughout. Just make sure to sit close to a speaker so you can hear the film over the low din of your rapidly clogging arteries.

A Whiskey Glass
A recent article in Food & Wine magazine detailed madman mixologist Eben Freeman's (of NYC restaurant Tailor) attempts to infuse brown liquor with the subtle, smoky redolence of bacon -- minus the fat. We're thinking Nobel Prize.
We know for a fact that Bacon Salt on the lip of a margarita glass is the stuff of bibulous heaven.

Well it's sitting right there on the table anyway, right? Crumble it in with a l'il swirl of maple syrup and thank us later. And if that sounds a l'il decadent, hey -- we just read on the side ofthe box that the oats are supposed to be beneficial for scrubbing "bad" stuff out of your system. Consider this dish a level playing field.

If we said that this was all the rage at swankity skiing chateaux in the French Alps, would you believe us? Okay, it was worth a shot. We're thinking it's a cross between pork bouillon and cocoa -- "Boucocoa," if you will. And if you won't, we'll just have your cup, too.
