Remember the bacon mat that swept the interwebs last summer? That intrepid food/craft/knitting blogger Megan at Not Martha has taken the basic idea of the bacon mat (it is the premise that bacon, if given the proper support, will bond to itself and hold shapes as it cooks) and turned it into bacon cups! Is there anything that bacon can't do?
She designed them as a breadless BLT, using them to hold small salads of lettuce and tomato. The commenters on her site have run with the idea, suggesting other uses for the crisp, porky vessels. How would you fill them?

Make some delicious meat or veggie Kebobs using some beautiful skewers and stand them upright in "Not Martha's" vase/bowl made of bacon.

I think if it were a little more "secure" (read: more bacon) you could fill it with layers of scrambled egg, cheese, and maybe other meats or some veggies for Breakfast Bowls!

That's actually a pretty cool idea. There's probably loads of stuff stuff you could do similar things with.
