Chocolate Bacon

[Bourbon Guy]

Pretty much anything sounds good with bacon added.

My mind exactly. I'd eat an old shoe if you wrap bacon around it. Actually, I've read of folks, in times of need and starvation, boiling their shoes and belts and eating them. Oh, for a bit of bacon to flavor them.

My niece was here in New York last weekend, and she had swordfish wrapped in bacon, cooked on a spit, It was fantastic.

Didn't even think of it, but quite possibly my favorite cut of meat OF ALL TIME is a bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Mmmm....

Taylor's Steakhouse in LA and La Canada has bacon wrapped scallops that are tasty.

tried a new treat today from the barbeque place here in SF:

It's really, really delicious!

Rick Bayless of PBS cooking show "Mexico One Plate at a Time" has a t-shirt that says "Bacon is Meat Candy"

And Bacon wrapped grilled Shrimp is Meat Candy with Fish Candy. YUM!

 

[Chainsaw]

No way!

That's amazing man. I worked with a Scottish fellow a couple years ago, I swear to god, If I hadn't watched the laser disc version of "Train spotting" with the original accents, i wouldn't have been able to understand one word he spoke.

Rambling on here, anyway my friend was saying "oh yeah, yufv gut to try the deep, freed mars bars! They're brilliant"

 

[DanielJones]

Yeah, exactly. Not for me...

Oh, the combination is sheer heaven. You get the sweet of the chocolate enhanced by the salty of the bacon. You can find Chocolate bars with Bacon in it in specialty candy shops like Powell's Chocolates. I thought it odd at first, but I'm always willing to try any food at least once just to satiate my curiosity. I suppose watching enough Anthony Borrdain and Andrew Zimmern has done that to me.

Another fantastic combination is a maple bacon donut. The first time I had one was in Portland, OR at Voodoo Donut. That will be the dessert in my death row meal.

Cheers!

Ha! I was wondering if that would come up. I saw a Food Channel special on VooDoo Donuts some time back, about their crazy combinations, and wedding ceremonies at the larger store. So, of course, I had to go to the original store when I was in Portland last summer. I couldn't bring myself to try the maple bacon donut, but my best friend did, and he loved it! Myself, I couldn't resist the chocolate fruit loop donut

BUMP!

A friend of mine made up a big batch of Bacon jam to sell at the local farmers market. It was *amazing*. I'll have a crack at making it myself when I've finished this jar.

Chocolate bacon? Really???
I've done bacon with syrup, but chocolate I'm not sure of.
It's too tempting to eat MORE bacon then I should.
I can see the jam though, sounds good.

Don't overlook one of my favorites, bacon flavored mayonnaise..."Baconaise," Available at all fine Grocers and online.

Seems like a natural. What's a BLT without mayo?[huh]

 

[scottyrocks]

Bacon and chocolate sounds wrong, but if some were put in front of me, I'm sure I could find the will to try it.

 

[DNO]

As my wife said: "Is there anything that doesn't go well with bacon?" I saw a piece on the "Best thing I ever ate..." show about a bacon with marmalade sandwich in toasted pumpernickel bread so I had to try it. Amazing.

Had this at the Strawberry Festival last night in Plant City, Florida.

Only in America!
