Handiest beverage guidance ever created. As with many fun customs at sea, we got it from the Royal Navy. The first rum tot of the day was given at “forenoon,” or 1100. In the northern latitudes, the sun would likely have been over the yardarm by then. Tacking on the “somewhere” was brilliant.

And bacon is “gammon” in Royal Navy speak. Had to check our bacon reference requirement to keep the thread on a true bacon heading.
 
"Backon" - old form of "Bacon" *
"Gammon" - "Bacon" in the Royal Navy.

"Backgammon" - Game originally played with squares of bacon - replaced with bakelite disks - so players wouldn't eat the playing pieces. *






* - Entirely made up, on the spot.

Semper lardum. (Yep, this is exactly what you think it is. How perfect.)

Adducere domum lardum. (Bring home the bacon.)

Ova et lardum. (You know this one.)

Lardum Bellator. (Bacon Warrior! What a cool screen name.)

@Capt MJ, in all your Latin lardon levity, I can’t believe you overlooked this one: Carpe lardum!

(In an ode to the underrated movie “Dead Poets Society,” I picture the late, great Robin Williams making that bold declaration while standing atop a school desk.
 
Carpe lardum. Love it. My iPhone is struggling mightily to handle the new vocabulary.

Now I have to figure out “I came, I saw, I ate the bacon.”
 
I knew we would have the right scholar step forward, and the Bacon Master Thread Creator stepped up, no surprise. I was going to have to do some serious excavation in my educational layers.
 
My DS had one of those (double cheeseburger on a glazed donut "bun") at the State Fair a few years ago. It sounded disgusting to me, but he said it was wonderful.

As I sat eating my bacon yesterday morning at Cracker Barrel, I became self conscious about eating the bacon with my fingers. So, I looking around the large dining area and saw others doing the same thing. Doesn't everybody? Is there anyone who would use a fork to eat a strip of bacon?
 
Carry on!!
I eat bacon with my fingers,eggs, chicken, pork, baked potatoes and Brussel sprouts; among other things.
 
I go to this place that has a great Cuban sandwich, served with tater tots. I went there last week, and found myself eating tater tots with a fork, for whatever reason. I guess that I would eat tater tots at home with my fingers, but I never buy tater tots.
I don't know why that I felt the need to discuss tater tots in a bacon thread, but there you are.

Anyone who eats bacon with a fork is a Communist. Just so we're clear, here.
 
Wrapping individual tater tots with bacon would be something I would need a minion for. I would be willing to pay minimum wage, however.
 
I had fried potatoes with crumbled bacon this morning - and an egg - washed down with Black Rifle Coffee Company* Murdered Out beyond dark roast coffee. It felt very patriotic.

*Shameless plug for veteran-owned coffee company.
 
I agree with @THParent, I have seen this recipe, and it made my mouth water, but the wrapping of individual tater tots seems like drudgery.
