Being a pork producer and a huge fan of bacon I just had to try Burger King's new Bacon Sundae!  So a few days ago LP and I were in a town with a Burger King and we stopped in to try it.


When we ordered the sundae I asked the manager how many they had been serving since it started on their menu; the manager said at that location they'd been selling an average of 12 a day.  She said she was surprised that it was that many (she came off to me as unbeliever in the power of BACON and if I had to guess, I don't think she had tried one yet.)


I have to admit, I was surprised with the amount of bacon in the sundae.  I bet there was the equivalent of 3 to 4 slices of bacon in my sundae.  There was enough bacon that I had bacon in each bite from start to finish.  I thought the sundae was good when I'd eat a bite that at first tasted like a regular hot fudge and caramel sundae with a small bacon crumble surprise at the end.  I however didn't care for it when the bacon pieces needed to be chewed a few times because they were large "crumbles." 


Now will I stop in to indulge in 510 calorie salty-sweet dessert again in the future, probably not.  I'll probably just stick with a regular ice cream treat, but I do have to give props to Burger King for being adventurous and combining two of my favorite foods.

It is at least worth a try!  From what I can tell from the advertisements I've seen for it, the sundae will just be on their menu this summer.

If they just threw in some vegetables it would be an entire meal in a cup!  I had not heard of this before, but maybe I will have to try it next time I am near a Burger King.

That just does NOT sound appealing. Kinda like salsa and coleslaw co-existing in a recipe....
