The Chocolate Bacon Bar

Whilst this has nothing to do with art, fashion or design, I feel the urge to share the latest culinary fad to you:

Yes, you read that correctly. And where does this delight hail from? Britain of course! The home of dodgy food. (I have lived there and can confirm this)

Despite it's high price tag of £6, Mo's Bacon Bar has sold out within 48 hours at Selfridges. Want to know more? The "treat" contains chunks of applewood smoked bacon, smoked salt and milk chocolate. A Selfridges spokesman said that while bacon and chocolate sounded like a strange combination, "the execution is fantastic. It's a real explosion of flavours and people love it."

"There has been a real revolution in luxury chocolate, as there was with wine a few years ago. People are much more knowledgeable about it and there is a growing demand for these high quality, exotic products instead of a box of Milk Tray"

My appetite has unsurprisingly disappeared...
