The new millennia's version of "You stuck your chocolate in my peanut butter!" I suppose...
Given the panic around swine flu, perhaps not the best time to launch a cocoa and pork-product hybrid, but high-end chocolatier Vosges has come out with this--Mo's Bacon Bar, which is indeed what is says, a bacon-infused chocolate bar. Check out the site's product description:
"Breathe…engage your five senses, close your eyes and inhale deeply. Be in the present moment, notice the color of the chocolate, the glossy shine.
Rub your thumb over the chocolate bar to release the aromas of smoked applewood bacon flirting with deep milk chocolate. Snap off just a tiny piece and place it in your mouth, let the lust of salt and sweet coat your tongue."
Makes it almost sound palatable. And if you won't eat it, you can always use it as a lube. ..
Nonetheless, it follows one of the Pow! tactics of "Taking Things Out of Context," indeed Surprises...and somehow fits within the strange bacon obsession of this blog (like this post, this one and this one), which is weird since said blogger is a health-conscious, fat-phobic, calorie-counting Jew.
