In an act of
swine influenza-induced madness,
Kelapstick, a.k.a. "Geo," has proposed the creation of a series of bacon-related articles over a short period of time. This gargantuan and meticulously planned effort will then be unleashed to dominate DYK and produce a DYK grouping with nothing but
bacon related hooks. This ingenious and highly constructive proposal from a
bacon maniac and co-founder of the bacon cabal (and board member in good standing) comes highly recommended. All cabal members and non-members are urged to sign on and contribute.
The plan
Proposal
Proposal: 8 bacon related articles.
Updated proposal: As many bacon related articles as possible
Rules
The articles should be worked up in sandboxes so they can all be debuted in one day's DYK listing.

Important subjects that don't yet have articles
Bacon related
The official scope of the project is bacon related articles
Rumaki Might be ripe for 5x expansion? See

[2] Google news.
Foods of Elvis Not sure on the title, but there are already articles on the "Elvis sandwich" (a.k.a. peanut butter, banana and bacon), and the
Fool's Gold Loaf, and I believe there are a couple books and lots of articles on the subject. A bacon hook would be a slam dunk.
Angels are done; the rest, I don't see the potential for full-fledged articles there. Sorry,

Bacon alternative ie. fakon,
turkey bacon, tofu bacon etc. Could include a blurb about turkey bacon (now DYKable) with a {{main}} template, but I think turkey bacon is about the most notable of the alternatives...

BLT sandwich from 400 prose characters to at least 2000. (Can't believe the article was so small)

... that National Pig Day is included in a handbook for first year
teachers as a day for activities including cooking bacon, making
BLTs, and discussing where pork chops come from?
... that to prepare a bacon martini,
bacon has to soak in
vodka for 24 hours, before it is strained over ice and served with a bacon
garnish?
... that miniature pigs are used for medical research and kept as pets, unlike the larger bacon-type pigs raised for meat.

... that Snake 'n' Bacon is a
cartoon consisting of a
snake and a strip of
bacon duo whose conversations are limited to hissing (on Snake's part) and making bacon-related comments (on Bacon's part)?

cartoon show Snake 'n' Bacon the Bacon character communicates solely with
bacon related comments like, "I am a piece of bacon."?

vodka infused with
bacon flavor and based on the concept of "meat and potatoes"?
