i just recently found a hilarious blog that tried this trend out--mistakenly with dark chocolate. big no no

i feel like such a wet blanket but I am tired beyond tired of the trendy "bacon" everything trend, Just as i feel you don't cover good caramel with other things, I don't think you cover bacon with other things. I'm sick of "Bacontinis" (YUCK! bacon beverages sound disgusting, but then, i'm not a martini drinker nor am I a cocktail type - it's yet another trend)
Why can't we just eat food. Bacon is great - if you like it. Plain ol' bacon. And mole? yeah theres a bit of chocolate in it, as are there nuts and seeds. We've made chicken mole and like it but we respect the traditional recipes.
Can we just go back to making food because we like it, not because it's the latest thing?
curmudge, curmudge...

I did a bacon ice cream a week ago and it came out very well. I think the caramelization on the bacon was about the thickness of a tootsie pop, though, so that might have been why it got such good reviews.

I love Alton, but if you're going to use packets of instant oats, then you might as well just heat up water and mix it in separate from the carafe. Cause either you have to take time to wash the carafe or you leave it dirty and piss off the cleaning staff.

I'm making chocolate-covered bacon tonight!!! Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of making this myself before!

oh AB, you never cease to amaze me.
Genius technique from the one and only. didn't see this one.

However, I don't use coffee machines. Too many bad experiences and I just mind-as-well buy a cup in my thermos.

PS. the pantyhose argument put a smile on my face. I don't wear'em. I prefer to go bare. and I've heard about this too. Everyone knows how bad nylon can reak if you sweat. gross

Soon, lovers of oatmeal will be pissing off hotel cleaning ladies from coast to coast.

That's awesome and all but I avoid hotel room coffee pots like the PLAGUE ever since hearing the rumor about how flight attendants use them to give their pantyhose a nice, hot wash.

I to, have made chocolate covered bacon for some time now. It is always a little scary for newbees to take that first bite, but when they do, the look on the face is divine. Also, I recently put some crumbled bacon in a traditional New York Cheesecake, maybe next time I'll try it with a chocolate cheesecake. Yum, again!

@wmasson- how long have you been dying to say that somewhere? as much as you SAY that, it won't come to fruition because there are "enchiladas covered in mole" and "chicken fajitas" and "cheese quesadillas" on menus all across the nation. semantics, my friend.

I really want to try this new trend!! I love savory foods.

Ok so Enchiladas means literally coated in chilis. Hence red enchiladas come from red chilis and green enchiladas come from green chilis. So when we say enchiladas, we are refereeing to tortillas stuffed with chicken covered in a chili sauce. (Chili as in the pepper not the meaty sauce popular all over the US). One would never really pour mole over enchiladas because the combination of sauces might not be so tastey. I think you were trying to refer to enmoladas, meaning covered in mole sauce. These are tortillas stuffed with chicken and covered in the dark mole.

saying an enchilada would be covered in mole is like asking for a chicken fajita. Fajita means skirt steak and there is no such thing as a chicken skirt steak. Or like saying cheese quesadillas, quesadilla implies cheese.

Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in Miami had a crispy beef cheek with a chocolate reduction sauce on the menu when they opened a couple years ago. It was a great dish.

I recently turned twenty, but all throughout high school and into college I have understood your dilemma! My friends think I'm crazy because I can spend hours at the farmer's market instead of the mall, or because I am constantly forcing my recipes upon them to try. Don't worry, you're getting a head start on a long life of knowledge and appreciation!
