I had a BBB A Bacon, Bacon and Bacon Sammich once...

Good stuff

I one time ate bacon and it made my belly hurt. It was awesome cause i was on a date with this hot girl and she dumped me cause i didnt make it in time. True Story

I had fried bacon one time.. Definitely not the best in terms of taste, but so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh.

Wow, what a coincidence! I just had some pretty sweet bacon about 10 minutes ago. Really it was a little salty.

BACON EXPLOSION!

http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/

Made one of those bad boys my senior year.

Anytime I have had bacon is my greatest experience. I love the stuff. Especially on a jalapeno cheeseburger from White Castle.

My favorite bacon related experience would have to be when my girlfriend bought me bacon chocolate chip pancake mix for Christmas. The combination of the sweetness of chocolate mixed with the saltiness of bacon made for a culinary delight.

Bacon wrapped hotdogs or the Baconator from Wendy's

I was in the UK all of last week. I ate a lot of bacon for breaky, lunch, and dinner.

My office once spent a day trying to figure out the best way to get some (kosher!) bacon-aisse. Bacon flavored mayo. They also make salt flavored like bacon.

It was only ok once we finally got it...

I'm not sure if it was my best, but polishing off a double Baconator was definitely the baconest experience I've ever had.

Anyone have Bacon chocolate? It sounds really disqusting but in essence its the most cunchy and eleborate choco mix to date.
Freaking expensive though..

One time I ate bacon and it was gross. Turns out It was for dogs.

Maddy's: A Ribs and Blues Joint, in Atlanta's potato salad. I still dream about the little bits of bacon in their potato salad. Soooo good.

Just eating bacon is greatest bacon-related experience.

At East Side Marios, stealing a friend's "bacon bits on the side" for their caeser salad and taking it like a "bacon shot"

It would have to be pig candy. It is bacon rubbed in brown sugar and then smoked until it is done. It is delicious!

watching my friend almost have a heart attack while eating the baconater from wendys

I once got an entire pack of bacon for fiftycents!!... dunno if it was pig, though...

I don't eat bacon - Im Jewish

Bacon Sandwich even some of the Canadian kind.

Bacon goes with everything!
I really have tried it , PBB ain't bad

Went back home to see the family and ate grilled turkey wrapped in bacon and for desert we had bacon chocolate that my sister brought home. Amazing.

I LUV BACON!

Bacon + Syrup = Mmmmm

One time, friends and I wrapped up chocolate bars in bacon... Then deep-fried it. It was quite possibly one of the best experiences of my entire life.

Bacon. Normal. Then you take the eggs and scramble them in the bacon grease. Then some cheese on the eggs right before they're done. Then put the bacon on top of the cheese so it lodges into the cheese eggs.

mmm

Just the other night, I was in charge of cooking dinner for my wife and daughter. I took turkey breast, sliced it and filled it with stuffing, and then I rolled it up.

Then, I took a whole package of bacon and did a lattice wrap around it. I threw the bacon-covered turkey log on the grill and BBQ'd it for an hour or so.

I'm not going to lie. It was the best thing I ever ate.

Every bacon experience is great. I can't single just one out.

I once spent the better part of a day discussing bacon recipes with coworkers and trying to figure out where we could find some new bacon-aisse product we'd seen... Good times. Bacon-aisse? Only ok.

Eating chocolate-covered bacon was more delicious than it should have been.

when i first heard of bacon bits.

it was a true life changer.

I once ate an entire 1 pound package of bacon. I started getting chest pains but after a nap I felt ok.

My greatest bacon related experience must be where I was at a Costco, where they have the food samples out. And there was a sample of mashed potatoes and bacon. Guy comes up to the cart and yells "ICE CREAM AND BACON, YES!!"

He was dead serious.....

For thanksgiving last year, we made a bacon explosion, which is hamburger, cheese, wrapped in about 2 pounds of bacon, and then marinated in bbq sauce.....you serve it like a meatloaf. I had a paper thin slice, and was nauseous for the entire night. Two of my friends made it a game of dare, and finished the rest off......they were sick for days!
Good times!

Jalapenos, filled with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, cooked on grill

EPIC

Memorial day weekend in the San Francisco Bay area.

Bacon and grilled chicken on Swiss. Hell yeah.

All of them.

I engage in sexual acts that involve bacon.

Well, there is a shot called "The Lumberjack"... it is a pretty sweet and girly shot in terms of booze, but you eat half a piece of bacon before you do the shot and then eat the second half as a salty chaser. It has become kind of a tradition and it is hilariously contagious.

Best bacon related incident? Discovering Bacon Vodka.

I ate the bacon and it was good.

I once bacon bacon bacon, bacon bacon "bacon bacon bacon" bacon bacon.

One time, bacon.

My best bacon experience also ended up being my worse bacon experience. I had went to this all you can eat buffet with some friends and the food was horrible, the only good thing was the bacon so I ate a lot of it, I wanted to get my money's worth. Anyways, I ate too much and ended up puking all down the river while tubing an hour later, I couldn't eat bacon for a while after that. But it was delicious while it lasted.

The moment the guy in front of me at the Monday Night Combat booth at PAX won the extra large jar of Baconnaise. He just sat there looking at them completely dumbfounded, filling with rage as they celebrated him as one of the only people all weekend to get the Baconnaise honor. He was so mad.

Canadian Bacon

I'm a simple man. A BLT is all I need.

If you've ever been to The Original Pancake House, you know about all you need to about bacon.

Whenever I go to a hotel and eat the entire tray of bacon off the free breakfast table.
