washing down the bacon explosion?

why not take a hearty gulp from your...

... BACON MUG.

"This is a functional mug made out of woven strips of bacon, filled with melted cheese."

Works great till you can't resist the temptation to take a big bite outta the rim...

That would be better as a gravy boat.

I.am.spellbound.by.the.insanity.

Uh. I'm speechless. But, HOLY SOMETHING!!

Haaahaaaaaa, you guys are berkeleyed. I love it.

Could we fill it with this?

Great! Now I've got something to dip pieces of my bacon explosion in!

I think I'll modify this into a dip bowl for my deep fried bacon.

Let's see ... Basic weave, form over inverted enamelled bowl, adjust weave for good overlap, place on shallow pan, bake?

Fill with some good hot queso.

Dip, eat, enjoy!

When the queso gets low, cut up the bowl for cheese-soaked bacon goodness.

will the overlap be enough to contain the queso goodness though? Sounds like a fantastic idea.

I'm normally not a huge bacon fan, but I gotta say, the outside of that mug looks tasty...

Can you smell this one?

There was a young man who used bacon

In everything he was makin’

He savored the taste

Though his gut it did waste

‘til off to the ER he was taken

Hmmm ... Not sure how the bacon shrinkage would impact the operational seal. Might have to go with a double-layer weave for a labyrinth seal. Or go with a liner of, say, shaved ham?

Edit: Prosciutto would work, but its a little pretentious for this crowd and this application.

ahh I like it, the inner layer of omnidirectional ham fiber can be wetted and extruded to the form, that way you have a nice high modulus inner frame, the bacon weave functioning as an aesthetic outer layer. (yes I just chopped up something about carbon fiber bike frames.. we just went from carbon fiber -> ham and bacon. I went there.)

Wow. Why not just pour it straight into the toilet?

I was discussing this with the girlfriend last night, and we were thinking something like a molasses glaze to seal everything up. But, that may only work for the gravy boat idea.

Ahh.. a man after my own heart. Treat it like paper mache' on a bowl form, along with the cane syrup glaze. Make two of them: one filled with cheese, one with chocolate. Use to dip large garlic knots and soft pretzels.

Now THAT'S a fondue!
