Spar's Chocolate Bacon

Apr 18, 2011 2:32pm · food

A couple of weeks ago I was Spar's Sausage on Amherst St. and noticed a large jar of chocolate covered bacon on the counter. I had to try it considering my love of both.

As much as I love everything about Spar's, really everything they make is absolutely great. The bacon was one of the most foul things I have ever eaten. I have had bacon as a dessert before ie. (candied bacon, caramel corn with bits of rendered bacon) and loved it. But this stuff was totally inedible. The second piece ended up in the trash.

ha ha ha... i read the title of your post and i thought you were going to say how much you loved it.

I was recently peer pressured into eating bacon... *hangs head in slightly delighted shame*

I was so excited when I saw the title and so let down when I saw your review. Maybe it went rancid or something and it is normally very good?

Your paella in your last journal looks so good.

For all you bacon lovers out there. I suggest you try the bacon bloody mary at Blue Monk Brunch. It is sooooooo so good.

Was It that that Bacon was bad or was it that it didn't taste right with the chocolate? With out being a chef I can say that some like Bacon Crisp and hard and some soft and flaccid and then there is the middle ground and everyone is different. I would assume that Crisp would be best to dip in chocolate or maybe there is some way they cook them both.... My point is maybe there is some other way to make it so it tastes great..... Assuming the bacon is how one likes it.... I guess my point is see what happens if you try to make it at home......

I would have guessed it was awesome - but totally inedible, huh?

I feel bad for not liking it. Especially since I love Spar's, but it just didn't taste good to me at all.
