http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/baconbar.jpgWe're going to melt this chocolate down and pour it all over this pig's ass. Sound appealing?
What is it about gaming that makes me hungry? Not starving, “oh my heck please send a stack of pizzas post haste” (unless you’ve been gaming for over eight hours, e.g. Extra Life), but just a bit snacky or peckish now and again. I’m sure many of you are the same way. We sit down, pop in an hour of headshots (which I totally do all the time), and while we’re waiting in the lobby for the next match to start and muting racist 9-year-olds, we start feeling like we need a little something-something to fuel the fun.
Normally my “snacks” list includes pluots (a plum/apricot hybrid fruit), cherries, Jelly Belly’s, Welch’s Fruit Medly, and diet caffiene-free Mountain Dew. Yes, DogsDie, SaintManTooth and I live in the only place in the world where Mountain Dew comes not only diet, but sans-caffiene. We also have a lot of Prozac usage. Go figure.
Tonight as my wife and I finally get home and are beginning to wind down, she tells me that she picked me up something and I had to try it. I had an idea that it was probably something that went in my mouth (don’t ask why I assumed that), but normally she tells me what it is first. Now, I’ll try almost anything at least once, maybe even twice depending on how much it hurts the first time, so I was game. She handed me what looked like an innocent enough piece of chocolate. I quickly popped it in my pie hole and went to work on figuring out why it was special.
I couldn’t put a finger on what the added ingredient was exactly at first. It was chocolate, sure, but there was a slightly distinctive saltiness to it and a crunchy texture. After finishing the piece, I still had no idea what it was. It was good, but what was that familiar flavor flailing my flaccid tongue? Then my wife handed me the package.
“Mo’s Bacon Bar” is the name of the product, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: rich, smooth chocolate with small bits of bacon mixed in. This isn’t a cheap Hershey’s 50% wax bar, this is good chocolate, and bacon to boot! Connoisseurs of pork products rejoice, thanks to Vosges Haut Chocolate!
It may sound odd, but chocolate-bacon (cho-con?) actually makes sense. Chocolate-covered pretzels have been all the rage in the past, but this is the 21st century and our tastebuds require a little more refinement. Nothing says fine snacking like cocoa, cocoa butter, and milk fat covering bits of what used to be a pig’s posterior.
Other products are available besides the bars, including chocolate chip-bacon pancake mix, a “flying pig” made out of chocolate and—you guessed it—bacon, as well as gift boxes and bacon caramel toffee. Head on over to Vosges’ website (http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/category/bacon_and_chocolate) to check out their full line up. Tell them Sarcastic Gamer sent you. They may have no idea what the hell you’re talking about, but you’ll know. Yes, you’ll know.
