There's a restaurant down the street from Le Quy Don High School that has one of the greatest vegetarian platters I have ever eaten. The secret: The vegetables are first fried in bacon fat. I think they have the words VEGETABLE and VEGETARIAN mixed up, but for a meat eater like me, I don't care!
Bacon: It just makes everything taste better.

From the Trombone Forum Cookbook:
Bacon Brittle
In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the syrup comes to a boil.
Attach a candy thermometer to the pan, increase the heat to high, and cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 290°F. Immediately remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, baking soda, pecans and bacon bits (watch out — the mixture will foam.) When the foam subsides, pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet as thinly as possible. Do not use a spatula.
Cool at least 10 minutes before breaking into pieces. Store in a covered container.
