Oh Bacon, how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways....

Last week I told you about the Orange County Fair that we went to.

But I left out my favorite thing.

Chocolate.Covered.Bacon.

Don't judge me! How could I not try such a thing?



So we walked up and I ordered. I heard the snickers and whispering voices behind me. "Eeeew, thats disgusting, I can't believe she is ordering that."

We were surprised when the vendor pulled a little chinese take-out box from the refrigerator behind him.



B and I love trying new foods. Earlier that day B had emailed me with an attachment of the vendor list from the fair along with some of the foods they would be serving.

There was no message on the email. There was no "Can't wait to go to the fair with you." or "Can't wait to take pictures of cute animals".

The e-mail was simply headed "plan of attack, ready, set, eat!!".

My B is a serious food lover.

My pick was the chocolate covered bacon.
I challenge you to wrap your minds around this.

Don't think of it as a greasy slab of bacon dipped in chocolate. Its not. Think of it as a chocolate bar with a crispy salty center.

Are you a fan of sweet and salty things? Chocolate covered pretzels? Its like that.



At the end you get a bit of bacon flavor.
Notice in the pictures there isn't any grease.

On top there are bits of kosher salt. In fact they give you extra salt for it.

I didn't salt it, I wouldn't do that. You know, I'm getting married in December and I don't want to gain any more weight. I wouldn't want to retain water.

I can officially say I've never met a piece of bacon I didn't like.
