I like chocolate. And I like bacon.

I find chocolate to be a delightful addition to every any day. And bacon has its place on my plate any time I’m out for breakfast. They are both enjoyable foods.

But I think they should be kept separate.

I just found out that some state fairs are serving chocolate-covered bacon this summer. And at least one gourmet candy retailer is selling:

Applewood smoked bacon + Alder wood smoked salt + deep milk chocolate”

Does this sound appetizing to you? I suppose I’d try it on a dare, but I doubt I’ll be seeking it out. I prefer to keep these two delicacies on separate plates.

    Okay, so I thought there could never be a chocolate combination I would hate, but I’m pretty sure this one would be the winner. That just sounds gross!

    (And I would never dare you to try it, because I like you too much!)

  2. Berry Patch says:

    Ewwww!!!! The thought of that just turns my stomach a wee bit. I’d much have my bacon separate from my chocolate any day of the week!

    Grim.

    I do like the salty sweet combination, and I agree with you about both of these food groups, but I don’t think that this would be a good combination.

    At my house that’s called *eating food with my food* which is not a good thing. Now if you want to eat the bacon and then wash it down with chocolate milk….

    Blech! I love both of those foods too, but definitely not together. What on earth will they think of next?! :)

  7. Jackie @ Our Moments Our Memories says:

    That is just WRONG! :)

  8. Dianne says:

    Hmm. I like syrup on my bacon but just not buying the chocolate thing.

    Reminds me of the chocolate covered garlic someone brought back from a garlic festival once.

    It makes you kind of wonder what the people at Vosges covered in chocolate that >didn’t< pass their taste test.

    I don’t know Katrina. It might be better than Pepperidge Farms Goldfish and raisins. Or even like trail mix. You would have the salty, the sweet, a little crunch possibly, and definitely something to chew.
    Sign me up.

    I like it when the syrup on my plate gets on bacon, but this is pushing it.

    And I wouldn’t eat it at a fair unless it’s on a stick. Fair food has to be served on a stick.

    I tagged you for a book meme, if you feel so inclined. I made this one up myself. :-)

  13. Mark says:

    I don’t know, I think it sounds good.

    So I dare you to try it.

  14. Katrina says:

    Oh, Mark, that’s low. :)

    Sigh… guess I’ll have to see if I can locate one around here…or place an order.

  15. Mark says:

    I do what I can. :)

  16. Angi says:

    Oh, no way . . . . that is a gross combo!

  17. Kim says:

    A waste of good chocolate and bacon!

    The wonder that is peanut butter and banana does not come along every day! It can’t be forced!

  18. topaztook says:

    You know, I love bacon and chocolate…and I actually think that sounds kind of good. I guess I will have to try one at the Minnesota State Fair (after waiting for the “where to find it” food maps to be published, of course.)
