You've probably seen a number of pictures in newspapers of those who've found the faces of famous people in a slice of toast or a carrot that looks like a foot. But have you ever seen a rock that looks remarkably like a slice of bacon?

If you have Apophenia, you might see this more often.  That's the scientific word for seeing meaningful patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.  However, we think most people will see the breakfast options in this rock. 

Jgoodma3 found the bacon rock in Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. And what's the next thing you do when you find a rock that looks like bacon?  See if it tastes like bacon

It didn't. 

However, he's not the only person to have spotted the similarity of the rock to bacon.  The picture below was taken a few months ago at the same spot.

All we need now are some rock shaped eggs to go with it, but in the meantime we'll satisfy ourselves with a egg that's formed itself into the shape of America

This would be perfect when served with some of the dishes in our bacon collection.

If you've seen any weird shaped food or any other objects that are shaped like food let us know on Great British Chefs Facebook page.
