"And this isn't just a wacky West Coast thing.

Might just be worth trying.............. :-)

Anything that unhealthy almost has to taste good, even though it
sounds a little disgusting.

As much as I like bacon <VBG> and as much as I like dark chocolate, I do
not believe that's something I'd enjoy as a combined taste. But who
knows, it just might go over well.

Sky, who tried a fried snickers bar -- one bite once!

You're a year late. This is old news from 2008.

It's actually pretty good. And if not pretty good, it's not bad.
There's a fancy schmancy chocolate maker who has a bacon-chocolate bar.
What I objected to at last year's fair when it was The Hot New Item was
the cost. I want to think it was between $5-7 for a cup with a few
pieces in it. I could be wrong on the price, but you get my drift.

That bar is by Vosges or something like that. I have seen it but

It might be good. I would have to try it with milk chocolate though
since I don't like dark chocolate at all. I know I like chocolate
coated pretzels. There's something about the sweet and salty
combination that makes the two go together.

Yuck, double yuck, and triple yuck!!!!!
Oh, and quadruple yuck, while I'm at it!!!!

Maybe my two favorite foods in the world, but they
should never get closer to one another than say
10 feet.

Now, I think bacon glazed with brown sugar or honey
sounds absolutely delicious. And when I eat pancakes
with maple syrup I always like to dip my bacon in the
syrup.

However, bacon and chocolate? No way, no how, never!

Saw this on FN once, done by Bobby Flay. We tried it for a surprise party
for my daughter and it was surprisingly good.

Haven't been eating much bacon or chocolate since then so I haven't made it
since.

One of the weirdest things I've had with chocolate were chocolate wasabi
peas. They were awful. Or maybe it was the time my Dad made us chocolate
omelets when we were kids. That didn't work too well either. :-)

There was a Local pizza delivery chain that decided to give away
chocolate brownies with an order of a pizza.

I couldn't decide whether it was a bribe to sell second rate pizzas or
somebody seriously thought chocolate brownies and pizza were a good combo.

Course if the brownies were of the same quality as the pizza .... well
the ad has not ran for a long time.

I had an "authentic" Mexican chocolate drink once, a sip, which i had
the ability to swallow rather than spit out in disgust.

It was a room temperature drink made with chicken stock and chocolate.
As i understand it, the Imperialist conquerors of Mexico, the spanish
monks that first put milk with chocolate. The original Mexicans made a
drink that was a animal broth and chocolate mix, and then, only for the
aristo's of their world, the common people were forbidden to drink it.

The pre-Columbian drink i can live with out but i do like the modern
version of the spiced up Mexican hot chocolate drink.

There's a place here in Brisbane called Coffee and Chocolate (Queens
Plaza in the city) that has a chocolate pizza that's supposed to be
pretty good.

Please don't get me wrong I'd definitely give the combination of
bacon and dark chocolate an honest 'taste try'. After all, I do like
both of them very well, hehehe. Too well for the former! But what an
odd combination, eh!

Sky, who's watching for the next bacon sale!

Next time I fry-up some bacon, perhaps I'll make a "bacon s'more" some
how with bacon, dark chocolate and what????? But, what makes a good
substitute for the graham crackers given the bacon & dark chocolate?
Saltine crackers? Matzo? Triscuits? Ritz? Toast? English muffins?
Biscuits? etc.??? What else?

Sky, who first had this "bacon s'mores" idea!!!!! (mabye?? giggle)

I think you should experiment with what you have on hand. If you have
any saltines, use them.

Sarcasm and lack of humour duly noted, Mother Schaller.

You seem to be operating under the misguided assumption that every culinary
atrocity that is committed in the USA makes International headlines
immediately.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but if Barb Schaller farts at a local flea
market or fair it's not breaking news (no pun intended).


And talking of culinary atrocities being committed by the USA.........
what's with bacon and maple syrup *donuts*???!!!

There are many bacon/chocolate and bacon/candy products on the
market. You're just an ignorant idiot.

On the first new Top Chef last night, the chefs were supposed to make
something to represent a sin they were guilty of. One chef made bacon
donuts with two sauces, one of which was chocolate. It didn't get
rave reviews- mostly because the doughnut was heavy and dense.

Well........... I think you'd have to be heavy and dense to eat something

Well, if I were going to do it, and, of course I *NEVER* would, I
would just do the traditional s'more with bacon added. Why mess
with perfection. Well, except for the bacon part. ;-)

Hehehe The opportunities for me to make the traditional s'mores are
very few and far between. But, as often as I cook bacon, I'll get
frequent chances ;D I'll think of something yet, maybe, if I don't
forget beforehand.

Hehehe. As "Gomer Pyle, USMC"** was likely to say, "Golllleee!!!" (sp?)
<G> Actually, very rarely is maple syrup used at my home -- I haven't
bought any in years!!!! The only (cake) donuts I'll eat are the
cinnamon-sugar holes from the grocery (IGA) store's bakery - they're the
perfect portion size, eh? ;D Besides, most of those donut holes go
stale before they're all gone, and that's just with a 10-count package
(for $0.99) shared between two folks.

On a past season of Top Chef, contestants were supposed to prepare dishes
which represented the seven deadly sins. The contestant who had "sloth" as
her chosen sin made soup from slow-roasted vegetables. The judges were not
impressed. It made me think, though, as to what *I* would have offered as a
dish representing sloth. I'd think that oysters on the half-shell might
qualify, though a contestant on the show would have had to gussy it up quite
a bit because the judges would give poor marks if the chef were *too* lazy.
Hmmm... thinking of the term "couch potato," a good "sloth" dish might be
raw oysters on a bed (get it? slothful? bed?) of some potato preparation.
Not *mashed* potatoes, though, that would be too much work. Maybe each
oyster could sit on a slice of roasted potato which was seasoned with
oyster-complementing seasonings, e.g., celery salt, lemon, and black pepper.

The remaining deadly sins are lust, avarice, gluttony, envy, rage, and
pride.

Lust is easy: A seafood taco and a sausage!

Rage isn't difficult either: Some form of arrabbiata. Probably not penne
arrabbiata, because it's been done to death, but some little twist with
arrabbiata would do, e.g., seared steak with arrabbiata. (You'd want the
steak to still be sizzling-hot when it got to the diners.)

I think gluttony would be best represented by a large variety of little
dishes: a spicy chicken wing drumette, some spiced popcorn, a little slice
of pizza, and so forth.

I'd think an "avarice" dish would contain Kobe beef, white truffles, and
caviar, though not necessarily mixed together. And it would be garnished
with edible gold leaf.

I can't think of any appetizing dishes which would represent envy or pride.
Envy could be represented by something like bitter melon with salsa verde,
but who wants to eat that? And I can't readily think of a dish which
embodies pride at all. Maybe a dessert in the shape of a trophy?

Any ideas?

If I could remember what the 7 deadly sins were in front of television
cameras... I think Rage would be the easiest - anything with HEAT.
Pride would be the next easiest - an "architectural" arrangement of
the upward variety. Lust would be something simple like chocolate
covered strawberries or a watermelon fruit pop (for me).... I'm
lusting now.
