npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/04/12/150502365/the-bacon-sundae-brilliant-or-tragicIs Burger King's new bacon sundae a delightful concept, or the most recent example of all that's wrong about American food?
That's pretty much the divide in opinion here at Salt Central, as well as in online forums and social media, where the bacon sundae is inspiring fierce debate. "Really? I know sales are low and all but REALLY?" questioned one Twitter skeptic. "Americans eat death, pay for the privilege," added another. Countered by an enthusiast who typed: "IT'S ABOUT TIME!"
That's a lot of passion for a $2.49 menu item available only at a handful of Burger Kings in Nashville, Tenn. "The company is currently testing menu items in a small sampling of U.S. restaurants," spokesperson Randi Farynyk told The Salt. "The brand does not have plans to expand the test to additional markets at this time."
Drat. Count me among the staffers here who said "Yeah!" when the sweet-salty-savory news broke. Since NPR wasn't popping for a road trip, I had to turn to Sam Bradley, a 27-year-old Nashville resident I found on Twitter, for confirmation. She had already trundled over to her local Burger King to check it out.
Bradley wasn't wowed by the two whole pieces of bacon poked into the ice cream. "If they chopped and mixed it in, it would be better," she reported. "But over all I would say it's a success."
A close encounter with the Burger King bacon sundae.
She would know. She'd already tested Jack in the Box's bacon milkshake, which is made with "bacon flavored syrup." The verdict: "It was terrible, because it was fake flavor."
Yuck, I love bacon as much as the next human being but thats just too much. I can feel the heartburn just looking at that ish.

Wow. I've never seen that. What state do they sell this? -
Some local creamerie in the DC metro region sells it, I read about it in the Post. Apparently line be out the door for that ? . -
Nothing new, they have bacon donuts as well.
The ice creams out there are nasty; popcorn, jalapeño, bacon, pizza, etc... -

there's a gelato place nearby that has 218 flavors , including cheese, corn, wasabi, rice, nutella and iced tea. -

There's many new hip food joints opening and people making/trying new things. I seen pizza ice cream on tv, seen the popcorn and jalapeño one at a place down by the beach. The popcorn smells exactly like popcorn, the jalapeño wasn't too bad.

1) Spaghetti and cheese Icecream - cheese flavored icecream with ground up spaghetti pieces. This one actually looks quite nice.
2) Sardines & Brandy Icecream - What can I say - sardines! In icecream!!
Japan apparently has a lot of really weird flavors. Since they eat a lot of fish over there perhaps it's inevitable that it would end up in icecream.
3) Squid Ink Icecream- a dark charcoal color. I've no idea what squid ink would taste like.
4) Horseflesh Icecream - this has pieces of RAW horseflesh in it. Yuk, I daren't even think about that one.
In France you can find -
5) Caviar Icecream - Made by a gourmet food company it has 60% Alverto Royal Petrossian caviar in it.
6) Candied Bacon Icecream - This may not be quite so bad as the others but bacon and icecream don't seem the right combination to me.
In England they have -
7) Blue Stilton Cheese Icecream - said to go great with English Mince Pies.
8) Beer Flavored Icecream - what can I say.
Go to Italy and they might offer you -
9) Spleen & Artichoke Icecream - I don't think I could even look at that, let alone eat it.
They even have a condom ice cream, it's served in a tied condom, snip the tip and it oozes out lmao no lie... -
