Literally a chocolate bar with pieces of bacon inside. Delicious?

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #1 on:** 28 Nov 2008, 22:55 »

I have tasted this. It is mildly disgusting.

Patrick · « **Reply #2 on:** 28 Nov 2008, 22:57 »

It has bacon and chocolate. How can it be disgusting? Two delicious things, deliciouser together.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #3 on:** 28 Nov 2008, 22:59 »

You can't even taste bacon. It's just a regular chocolate bar with an unusual crunchy texture in the middle. The most awkward chocolate ever conceived

My wife is considering a venison and chocolate recipe for Christmas day.

Tell her not to, if there is anything my aunt has accidentally taught me. It is to never combine chocolate and flesh of any kind no matter what you are told by anyone.

Clearly your aunt has never had a good mole.

That or your aunt are dumb.

Chocolate and venison is a relatively common combination. I think venison's a strong enough flavour to cope with the likes of chocolate (I've seen it infused with tea). Obviously you wouldn't want to try it with chicken or pork or a less flavousome meat, but I'd quite like to try it with venison.

I can imagine a mapley bacon and chocolate bar being good together, but through experience I know that just regular smoked bacon and chocolate isn't so great. But fuck, maple bacon chocolate chip cookies are to die for. Bacon ice cream would be amazing.

I bought a bar of that Vosges chocolate once with gogi berries and peruvian salt in it. It was like 5 bucks, and on the back it had an alergy warning against shellfish because it was made in a facility that uses pearl dust. I don't know about all you plebian fools, but after having that chocolate bar I refuse to eat any candy that doesn't have powdered pearls in it. Or at least emeralds.

At £5.99 per 3oz bar it is far from a cheap treat, but Selfridges – the only UK stockist – sold its entire stock of several hundred within 48 hours at its four stores and has urgently ordered more.

SO, my mom has been known to make pretty much the most delicious thing ever. Basically, you take really thin, crispy breadsticks; wrap them in bacon in a sort of spirally pattern, so it's covered lengthwise; bake in an oven; omnomnomnomnomnom. Soooooo good.

I have tried bacon chocolate and it is not so bad. It is not anything worth getting considering the price (where I'm from, at least) though.
KvP is right about the deliciousness of mole. It is seriously the best thing ever, just never buy it in a jar, which I made the mistake of doing once in an extremely rural town in Arizona.

Following the WTF FOOD theme:

Canned bread!

Bull testicles!

You'd actually be a lot more accurate if you just said "Man, Southerners." I mean, the luther burgers and the like come from restaurant in Georgia that apparently gets a lot of play by surprising people with their outlandishness. This is like using tentacle porn to represent Japanese culture.

Besides, you're Norwegian. Up until the last 60 years or so your national cuisine was basically 60% salt by volume. The rest was potatos.

This (maybe not a very nice link for people who are vegetarian/vegan? I know some people who get upset by it, but I don't think it's that bad as long as I don't have to eat it/smell it/be near it) sort of makes me feel like I can't critizise American food in general, because there is some fucking weird stuff here as well.

Yeah, see, I'm from Minnesota, which is very Scandinavian and my paternal grandfather is Norwegian. Traditional Norwegian meals are basically a punchline over here. You can buy t-shirts at airport giftshops making fun of them.

Metope · « **Reply #28 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 11:57 »

Hey, that ridiculously broad generalization wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Of course we know America is a lot more than nasty food, and personally I have nothing against American culture.

And yeah, the average Norwegian dish hasn't always been too healthy or tasty, but keep in mind that it was because they didn't have much choice, Norway was not always this rich. And.. uh... the smalahove is something I would never taste, and I can't find a way (or reason) to "defend" it.

Alex C · « **Reply #29 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 12:08 »

It still hit me as funny though. Please, really, keep in mind that my post really is a product of my environment for the most part. Like I said earlier, as a Minnesotan, a fair sized chunk of the cultural dialogue I lived with growing up consisted of "Holy shit, I can't believe people used to eat this stuff" and pressuring people to try lutefisk. My grandfather is an enthusiastic supporter of such dishes, provided he can get someone else to eat them.

Ladybug · « **Reply #30 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 12:16 »

Lutefisk is still fairly popular as a traditional meal around Christmas here. My family always eats it on, ehm, Little Christmas Eve, but I find it fairly gross so I stick to the standard rice porridge with a hidden almond. I think Norwegian cuisine is pretty affected by the fact that we got very rich fairly fast, so a lot of the traditional stuff is influenced by much poorer times, but it's still tradition, so it's not likely to disappear any time soon, even though we are both richer and have influences from all over the world now.

Metope · « **Reply #31 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 12:18 »

Haha god, lutefisk is probably the most absurd dish ever. I mean, who thought of that? And more importantly: How, and why? I know a few people who like it but most people around here hates it (at least of the people I know). There are a lot of great traditional Norwegian dishes too though, But for some weird reason the disgusting ones are the most well known.

Alex C · « **Reply #32 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 12:20 »

I think it's a matter of pride and irony all mixed up into one confused mess. My grandfather is intensely proud of the fact that most people can't stand lutefisk. Minnesotans like to think they're sturdy people who don't care for whining, basically. Besides, it's his godforsaken lye-fish, dammit, and he's gonna be proud of it if it kills him.

Liz · « **Reply #33 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 12:23 »

We eat a fair amount of traditional Norwegian food in my family, my mother's side anyway, but we stick to the good stuff and none of that lutefisk business. Lefse, krumkake, pølse, flatbrød (silly Norwegian letters), and probably some others that I am not thinking of right now.

Probably a dare. Or something. Seriously, you take dried fish, dump it in water for a week, then you make it fucking toxic by using , before you dump it in water for ten more days. People die from eating this if it's not prepared properly.

Smalahove is rather good though. Other fun traditional Norwegian food is the special potato dumpling (raspeball) which looks like brain that's rolled into balls. It's also got a consistency like... the first thing that comes to mind is tar.

For some reason, Norway is the only place I have ever eaten Frog's Legs.

SonofZ3 · « **Reply #36 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 14:42 »

The Brewery in the town I went to college at had frog legs as appetizers. They were breaded in italian bread crumbs, and were overall pretty plain and a little tough. I'd like to have them somewhere that makes them better.

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #37 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 14:46 »

seeing that bacon-chocolate bar reminds me of that simpsons episode where homer thinks god has his back, and while driving goes "lord, make me a new and delicious snack!" *claps twice* this causes a fudge tanker (do those exist? i hope so!) to swerve and hit a bacon truck, and a shower of fudge-coated bacon to land on homer's windscreen.

in summary, i'm going to go make fudgey bacon.

Vendetagainst · « **Reply #41 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 16:00 »

I actually don't mind them. They are far from a "delicacy" but they go well in any sort of indiscriminate seafood orgy.

I love oysters, I just never got why people swallow them straight away. Taste better when you chew them.
