Q. What could make bacon even better?
A. A martini.
BLTini and a garnish. AND: a bacon chocolate martini (this reminds me of Myrrh's theory that bacon, feta and dark chocolate could be added to anything and make it better, even each other).
Frankly, this is one moment in which I'm thankful that I don't care for martinis (tomato water??!).

"When I say “martini,” there should be no question in your mind what the ingredients are. There is only one correct answer here, though the garnish may vary within certain narrow parameters. A martini consists of gin, dry vermouth, and one of the following garnishes: olive, lemon twist, or cocktail onion. That’s it. I have no qualms with the practice of drinking vodka with vermouth and a citrus twist — those are fine cocktails in their own right. They’re just not martinis, and you should scoff when someone says otherwise."

The quotation, just to be clear, is meant for entertainment purposes only, and may not reflect the opinions of its poster, who prefers red wine to either gin or vodka.
i must agree with wystan's quote. there is only one martini. However, bacon really does go with eevrything. For example, I recently had a chocolate bar with bacon in it...and it was perfect.
