“Crack is Whack” Whitney Houston
The Fatted Calf in Napa had an ‘impulse buy’ item located right next to the cash register. ‘Bacon Crack’ an English toffee studded with bacon, covered with chocolate was beckoning to my addiction. That is plainly just not fair. I am weak. The clerk, with an evil grin, a wink and a nod took the money from my shaking hand. I barely made it home before I ripped the protective wrapper from this decadent delight.
This small morsel of candy was only a tease of pleasure leaving me wanting more. Two small bites and the snake had sunk its venom into my bacon fueled world. Thanks Fatted Calf for taking advantage of my weakness.
That _does_ sound tempting! Good thing it's so far away or I'd be in the car to get some right now!
ReplyDeleteZoomie, It is 25 minutes from our door if I drive. If Ms. Goofy gets behind the wheel of the Racing Honda, probably 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI'm shaking just reading this post... Must, eat, bacon... Mmmmm,...
ReplyDeleteThree Dogs BBQ, That home made bacon you have would be perfect to make some toffee.I have been tempted to make some but I might eat the whole batch in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteShrikey man! That sound gooood! I have to get up to Napa.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I do have a bacon toffee recipe that rocks. How done would you make the bacon? Extra crisp, crisp, or with some give? There is a topic all of its own: how do you like your bacon? I like mine crispy...
ReplyDeleteI meant butter toffee... I have bacon on the mind for some reason...
ReplyDeleteGreg,Oxbow Market is right around the corner from Fatted Calf. It makes for a good food adventure.
ReplyDeleteThreeDogsBBQ, I have not made toffee yet. I love crisp bacon. Let me know how yours turns out.
I thought the "first taste" was supposed to be free.
