Bacon Meme Reborn

No. 6

Tamara Palmer at SF Weekly revives the OMG-I-TOTALLY-LOOOVE-BACON-TOO trend with a top-five list of surprisingly tasty-sounding bacon-based sweet treats. All of which you can find here in San Francisco. Palmer counts down with: 5) Bacon marshmallows at Perbacco, 4) Peanut butter-chocolate-bacon cupcakes from 4505 Meats, 3) Maple-bacon latte at Pirate Cat Radio, 2) Lori's peanut brittle at Humphry Slocomb, and 1)... well, you'll have to read the original post to find out what won the top spot. However, not every reader is thrilled with this meaty list. As SF Weekly commenter "Shannon" complains, "This makes me really sad. Dessert is the last bastion of the vegetarian. This is a lazy choice for chefs and bakers; you don't need to add bacon to make something salty-sweet. I expect more from our creative Bay Area cooking community."

Vegetarians can be really annoying.

Vegetarians aren't vegetarian because they love animals. It's because they hate plants.

Bi Rite sells bacon chocolate.

Even if I wasn't a vegetarian, I doubt I'd want meat in my deserts. Just sounds... disgusting.

I agree. I am a bacon fiend, but the bacon ice cream, bacon fudge, etc. I've heard about lately, just sounds gross.

you know what's good? crispy prosciutto. no one speaks of crispy prosciutto, and that saddens me.

we certainly don't see you posting any recipes or retail/restaurant locations for it.

If that upsets her she should read this slate article about how chic it is to use lard in everything:
