Yesterday I was sliding my finger thru the pages of Flipboard and came across a story that made me turn around and quickly check the calendar to be sure it wasn't April 1st again. Burger King had been revamping it's menu and came up with lots of pork and chicken sandwich offerings as a limited-time summer campaign. One can only hope. But what blew my mind was the addition to their snack/desserts of this odd little treat - the Bacon Sundae.
I'm speechless, nearly. Seriously. Toppings to choose from? Caramel, Strawberry, Fudge, OREO®, M&M'S®, and... BACON! Why not just pour some pork fat right over the top instead? It makes me think of that scene from the Friends episode "The One Where No One's Ready" (season 3 ep.2), where Joey inadvertently drinks Monica's saved glass of fat. Later, when Ross needs to drink the fat in order to prove to Rachel how much he needs her, he mumbles a to himself, "Just a vanilla milkshake...". It doesn't change the fact that the entire audience groans with disgust as David Schwimmer raises the glass too his lips.
Call me old-fashioned but my bacon is reserved for eggs, beans, and BLT's. And while I've seen lots of flavors of ice-cream, including this wonderful, blue pick-me-upper in Rome, you'd have to push me real hard to try a bacon sundae.
