Thoughtful Tal, who bought me the bacon Band-Aids (ooh, I used one! It made my whole finger look like an open wound from far away, but up close it was cool), just sent me an email with this subject heading, and this link: Bacon Exotic Candy Bar. Fascinating.
I had the most delicious chocolate chess pie sprinkled with sea salt at the Queen’s Hideaway last night (the only restaurant I’ve ever eaten pie in where it actually tasted as good as it does when made at home–Millicent kicks serious pastry ass). As one of my fellow diners pointed out, ending with the salty finish makes you feel surprisingly satisfied–and not like you have to scour the plate for the last bit of sweet treat.
So a bacon candy bar is the next logical step, I suppose. Can I put it on a sandwich with lettuce and tomato? That would be the ultimate…
