...never heard of it before now. If anything, this was more inspired by various Harry Potter fics using "transfer the horcrux to a pig and slaughter it" as a solution to "don't destroy the historical artifacts/kill Harry"...

I generally tend to prefer the "transfer the horcrux to s random piece of trash and destroy that" method, mainly because I find the idea of eating meat tainted by an evil mo-fo to be pretty nasty.

In the one that I can remember on the spot, it was a Goblin tradition/custom.

Usually in those fics, those same goblins will pay ludicrous amounts for rare animal meat, the more dangerous the better, so Harry naturally gets a nice little windfall out of the biggest basilisk ever killed.

Y'know, just in case he wasn't already the secret heir to dozens of ancient families whose legacy vaults haven't quite been drained completely by maintenance fees over the thousands of years since they were last active (despite the goblins only being in charge of banking for at best four hundred years) or whatever.

I for one never continued thinking about infinate bacon. I considered the idea briefly years ago, then realized it was a bad idea. You'd get real tired of bacon, and you'd do so real fast. It's better for bacon to be an occasional treat.

Alien infiltrator detected!!! No true human can ever have too much bacon.

A few years ago there was a fundraiser event where I lived called Baconfest. It was interesting. However it did conclusively prove there is such a thing as too much bacon. Every booth was showcasing nothing but bacon dishes. Bacon beer, bacon wine, bacon ice cream, triple bacon cheeseburgers with extra bacon, bacon cake, bacon muffins, bacon cheese... Too damn much bacon, and it was used in things it really had no right being used in. Some, like the ice cream, were surprisingly decent. Others were nasty.

I know this is just gonna feed the derail but, Bacon should be grilled, griddled or pan-fried so that it's nice and crispy. Deep fried Bacon is an abomination that should never be tolerated. As for Bacon where it shouldn't be, I know of a burger place that does Bacon Milkshakes. Coincidentally I also detest their bacon because they deep fry it. My favorite way of having bacon is to take some full fat smoked back Bacon, grill until it's nice and crispy then slap it onto a buttered sandwich with some HP Brown Sauce.

And mitigating it with drugs such as morphine, doesn't work. I believe the only known method to get the pain to stop is physical severing/removal of the affected nerves.

I think that is because the toxin does something like stripping the protective coating off the nerves while at the same time damaging the receptors that morphine and most painkillers affects.
 
Regardless of how, the fact that a platypus's venom is so nasty that 15 years later you're still feeling pain, and nothing helps stop the pain is terrifying.

For the traditional experience, sure. However, if cooked Sous Vide at 156 F for 8-24 hours (the longer, the more tender,) you get something akin to smoked pork belly confit, which is it's very own sort of wonderful...
 
While it's not ideal, wrapping pre-cooked bacon in paper towels and microwaving them also works if you only need 2 or 3 strips, such as wanting to turn your cheese burger into a bacon cheeseburger. Again, not idea. But then again, perfect is the enemy of good. And if done right the bacon does come out fairly crispy.

Considering one of the EMT on site in case of medical problems had to go to the hospital for cardiac arrest... The 2nd set of EMT were under orders not to partake in the bacon dishes on hand.

Really, there are things bacon has no need to be involved in. Such as beer, wine, and cheesecake. Bacon cheesecake is kind of bad, and bacon beer is disgusting. I didn't try the bacon wine, but I can't imagine it'd be much better then the beer.

Well, I mean, most beers are disgusting. Guiness excepted, and one from a microbrewery in New Orleans that I had back in 2000, but that's about it. I honestly can't see bacon changing things much either way.
 
I'm not a fan of beers. I think they're too bitter and taste disgusting. There was a pale wheat ale brand that was tolerable where I lived, and a single bottle of Blue Moon is okay on rare occasions. Bacon beer is even worse. Instead of just tasting bad, it was nearly vomit inducing. This was apparently a quite common reaction to trying it. I doubt that microbrewery continued making the stuff.

I suspect that a "bacon cheesecake" could be made to work, but it would have to be made rather savoury. The meaty taste wouldn't pair particularly well if it was too sweet.

Of course, then you have to make sure not to make it too savoury, otherwise you've pretty much just reïnvented Quiche Lorraine from first-principles.


Similarly, any attempt at a "bacon beer" probably needs to mostly focus on the saltiness of the bacon, for something similar to the German Gose. You most especially don't want to end up with a fatty beer, or it's going to be too rich and nausea-inducing. (The more internationally-standard "back bacon" is probably a better flavour profile there than the primarily-USA "streaky bacon", precisely because it contains so much less fat.)
