    <Blinks>   You know, that may not be a bad idea.   (Admittedly, I like
Portobella mushrooms and bacon on a hamburger, go figure.)

    Hmm......what I would want to do is use beef bacon or english-style
bacon, not the fatty "streaky bacon" that's more common here in the US.
Since you've got a lot of the fat from the deep frying anyway, making the
bacon less fatty is a good idea.
