Bacon Turtles

I don’t think they look appetizing. Really, hot dogs? Why not just put more bacon as the legs?

I think because the thinner bacon strips would burn way before the centers were done.

And the award for the most nonvegetarian, nonkosher foodstuff goes to…

I think the bacon-wrapped scallops still wins Most Nonkosher Foodstuff. The beef and hot dogs could be kosher before the bacon hit them. Sure can’t get any less nonvegetarian than the orginial, unless you figured out a meat substitute for the skewers.**

Bacon?

There’s no way I could eat them (even if I wanted to), they’re just too damned cute!

These are so adorable. I couldn’t eat that much meat at once, but I’m already trying to think of some alternative just so I can make little turtles.

They’d make really cute hors d’oeuvres. I thought mini-smoky links for the head and feet; but gherkins would work too.

Bacon?

Maybe, if your butcher has bacon in uncut slabs. I think you’d have to go for a super-thick slice of bacon (or pancetta or proscuitto) and then cut it into the longest 1/4 by 1/4 sticks you could. Place two sticks in an star-shape for feet-head-tail, form the patties around them and then wrap in the bacon weave. Make sure to make the head piece a bit thicker than the feet, and the tail a bit thinner.
