Literally a chocolate bar with pieces of bacon inside. Delicious? :|
-
I have tasted this. It is mildly disgusting.
-
It has bacon and chocolate. How can it be disgusting? Two delicious things, deliciouser together.
-
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

Why do people make these things?
The AV Club does frequent taste-tests of random and/or disgusting food-and-drink-stuffs, one of which is Pizza Beer (http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/taste_test_pizza_beer)

Can't go wrong with bacon ice cream
If taken in small quantities
-
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.
mmm, mole.
-
Chocolate and venison is a relatively common (http://www.google.com/search?q=chocolate+venison&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF)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.
-
Someone in Scotland has probably deep fat fried one of these.
fyp.
-
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.
-
This thread is now about BACON,

How can something so unhealthy be so goooooood?
-
Mmm, bacon-flavoured synthetic chemicals.
-
Someone, somewhere has probably deep fat fried one of these.
I'm fairly certain that this somewhere is in Scotland.
-
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.

America, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you

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.
:roll:
-
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.
-

Absolutely nothing! You are going to love America and you know it.

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.

Fuck this thread for making me even more hungry from looking at tasty foods. I gotta settle for microwave pizzas I ovened.

Jesus fuck.

America, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you
-
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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalahove) (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.
http://flickr.com/photos/jmgleditsch/348305102/ is the worst picture.
-
Why is it that all the horrible, disgusting things that only the really poor people used to eat are now called "delicacies"?

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Haha god, lutefisk is probably the most absurd dish ever. I mean, who thought of that? And more importantly: How, and why?
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. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye[/url)
-
For some reason, Norway is the only place I have ever eaten Frog's Legs.
-
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.
-
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.
-

I have had frog's legs and turtle in Minnesota, both of which are actually quite tasty. We served them at the restaurant I used to work at.
-

Case in point: oysters. Seriously, why? Are they nice cooked? Because they are the worst thing raw.
-
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.

I'm not going to lie, I vomited a little while going through this thread. Granted I do have some sort of stomach virus, but that doesn't make most of what I have seen any less terrible.

Your life will change when you have good oysters. You won't know that they're good oysters until you've eaten them, but you'll know afterwards. And you will understand. I was never much into oysters, then I had good ones. Good oysters are incredible.
-

I knew afterwards that I am allergic to oysters.
A friend of mine ate her first placenta; it wasn't nice enough for her to bother with the next.
-
Well I was thinking more specifically of people who've eaten oysters before, but never good oysters. If you're only allergic to good oysters but can eat crappy ones without complaint, that's pretty unfortunate.
-
Escargot is still pretty excellent. In fact, the texture reminds me a lot of oysters, but the flavor is a fuckton of salt, butter, and garlic.
-
People eat placentas because its filled with awesome nutrients and vitamins! So it is really really good for you.
But really that shit is gross, and why not just bury it under a tree or something?
I know people who eat placenta milk shakes.

THIS. I had some escargot on a cruise to Mexico once and it tasted fuckdamn delicious.
placenta milk shakes.
I would not see this band.
-
I've had escargot, and I gotta say it was a hell of a lot like any other mollusk I've ever eaten, a lot like clams, only baked with garlic and butter instead of deep fried and golden delicious. Needless to say I loved, it, and I can both imagine myself having baked clams as easily as I can imagine having deep fried snails.

They sell animal placenta at a store near me. Apparently it's good for your hair, or something.

Why don't you wipe down that placenta with some human breast milk ice cream? (http://www.slashfood.com/2008/09/26/bodacious-peta-wants-breast-milk-ice-cream/)

I am a proud Vegan and am working my way towards complete fruitarianism. I have a preference for live foods ("raw" to those uninitiated).
I am aware that semen is a byproduct of a creature with a nervous system, but I am intrigued by the protein possibilities of semen for vegetarians, and its ready accessibility for me.
Leaning towards fruitarianism, I also like the fact that semen can be procured naturally, like a ripe apple that drops from a tree; it is its natural time to come...
And if Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians can eat eggs, then semen is a simple step away...
Ultimately, I am also interested in the idea of harvesting semen, semen farms, and semen husbandry.
I would be very interested in any semen recipes that make use of the live ingredient, preferably fresh and hot, so that it retains its optimum level of nutrients and taste.
Outside of simply swallowing it, as I usually do, or as one does with a can of whipped cream and their head cocked back, can anyone think of any innovative and tasty ways to prepare raw, uncooked semen?
This pretty much somes up all of my reasons against anything more extreme than vegetarianism.
-

harvesting semen, semen farms, and semen husbandry.
semen husbandry
Actually I think the best part of the whole thing is the disclaimer in the book:
This cookbook is written for consenting diners of semen. Please do not add semen to your guests' food without informing them beforehand.
Also, I like how we've gotten from Choco-bacon bars to Southern Cumtry Homecooking in the span of two pages.
-
I was even more disturbed by the second to last line.
So, so disturbing.
-
I have been laughing at that for about 5 minutes.
Oh god.

Lime Aoili
Aioli is a wonderful sauce packed full of calories and smelly garlic. The lime gives the sauce a nice zesty kick and the semen flavor meshes nicely with the garlic and olive oil base. Don't try to hurry the procedure since it takes time and a lot of wrist action to absorb the oil into the egg.

I'm sure they'll react better to that than when somebody, feeling guilty, tries mailing their semen to China.

I figure this is the appropriate place to mention that my Psychology prof (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,21885.msg744667.html#msg744667). eventually got married and had kids, and froze his wife's placenta in their freezer, and then brought it to class. Oh yeah, an ice cream bucket of condensed human blood is really what I need to see during my formative years. Really, it's amazing that I turned out as well as I did. Which is not that well, frankly.
