More Dessert Fun with Bacon!

I know I was particularly grossed out when Richieboy made a bacon ice cream - ick - for his dessert on the season finale of Top Chef. I was also astounded when the judges liked it (but not in the incredulous way that Lisa remarked about all the "shit" he made that the judges still liked better than her actual shit).

So imagine my surprise when I heard about Vosges Chocolate's vegetarian chocaholic's nightmare, their Mo' Bacon Bar, containing many bits of real applewood smoked bacon, Alder wood smoked salt and 41% cacao deep milk chocolate. You could order it online, or truck on over to Ma Petite Shoe in Hampden, where it sells for $7.95.

Me and my buddy Eric stopped in during HonFest, after I had engorged on crayfish (half a bowl for $5), hot dogs ($3 for one), refreshing iced green tea from Suzie's Soba ($3), and on-tap Heineken and Paulaner ($5 each). I was surprised at how tasty it was, as I think were the bloggers who had congregated on the porch after I went in (so of course they got some too). But the saltiness, molasses flavor and chew bits of bacon are really a surprisingly nice complement to the chocolate. Bizarre.
