By that logic you would eat a cow-pie if it was wrapped in bacon.

Well, maybe, but so? (I was just trying to generate some discussion on Gene's awesome pic! Nice find, Gene, or creation...if you made it)

I still would eat one, partly for the bacon and partly to jump start the party!

I can now say that I wouldn't anything that was wrapped in bacon.

How about something with bacon in it?



New foods on a stick: Wisconsin State Fair adds chocolate-covered bacon to its menu

Food on a stick means kabobs on the grill, ice cream bars on the run, caramel apples for Halloween. You know where we?re going with this, right?.

Fair-weather fans crave oddball food during this time of year, and that can mean collecting sticks during all meal courses. The lines don?t begin and end at the Pronto Pup stand.

Food-on-a-stick menus are getting fatter, embracing cotton candy and hot dogs to deep-fried Oreos and chunks of cheese. Expect more than three dozen choices when the Wisconsin State Fair opens Aug. 6 in West Allis, and the most outrageous combo will come from Aaron Fidder, executive chef at the Machine Shed in Pewaukee.

A bold assertion? Hah!

Aaron?s restaurant is known for hearty portions of comfort food and from-scratch cooking, not fussy entr?e names or uncommon ingredients. A one-pound chicken liver dinner and smoked turkey reubens are about as unconventional as it gets.

The Machine Shed looks and feels like a shrine to the Midwest farmer, and the homage extends to the gift shop, where one corner of merchandise is all about bacon. In the inventory are bacon-flavored toothpicks, mints, gumballs and lollipops (dubbed ?man bait?). They surround ?bacon 24/7? T-shirts, bandages that look like bacon strips, bacon-scented air fresheners, wallets and lunchboxes with bacon patterns.

Still with me?

The Machine Shed loves bacon, so why wouldn?t Aaron include it in food-on-a-stick experiments? For one week, co-workers were taste testers for his inventive combinations.

?My belly just kind of aches when I think about that week,? says Erin Zylka, the dining room manager. Restaurant guests also sampled the finalists.

At the end, the chef had two winners.

One: fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on a stick. They will be dipped into pancake batter (?I add a little Sprite, to lighten it up,? Aaron says), then dunked into hot oil. ?Like a jelly doughnut,? he explains, and $3 each.

Two: chocolate-covered bacon on a stick, served frozen, two strips for $3. The combo, although unprecedented at the Wisconsin State Fair, has shown up elsewhere. Aaron tried a dozen bacon-chocolate matches before deciding on milk chocolate over hardwood-smoked, honey-cured bacon.

?A ganache chocolate was too bitter,? he explains. ?The real key is adding a little bit of sea salt to the chocolate at the end.?

?I love chocolate, and I love bacon, but I just can?t come to peace with bringing the two together,? admits Erin. I figured it would be the same with me, until taking my first nibble.

The tug between sugar and salt was attractive. No sign of greasiness. No chewiness. No brittleness, despite the freezing.

So another novelty is born, and 20,000 stick-impaled slices of chocolate-drenched bacon will make their way to West Allis this month.

Next year? Aaron says his top contenders, so far, are deep-fried cheeseburgers (with lettuce) and boston cream pie. Stay tuned.

How about a Krispy Kreme donut with bacon in the middle

How about Paula Deen's The Lady's Lunch Burger?



Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons grated onion
House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
6 slices bacon, cooked
3 hamburger buns
3 English muffins
6 glazed donuts

Mix the ground beef, chopped parsley and grated onion together in a large mixing bowl. Season liberally, with House Seasoning. Form 3 hamburger patties.

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the burgers and cook until desired temperature, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Fry bacon in a hot pan until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

While burgers are cooking, heat a non-stick pan, over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Crack 3 eggs into the pan. Cook until the yolks are just set and still slightly runny and remove.

Place burger patties on English muffins or buns, and if desired, on glazed donuts, as the buns. Top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon and a fried egg.
