Bacon sundae
Bacon Sundae is a dessert dish that combines the savory flavor of bacon with the sweetness of ice cream, typically vanilla ice cream. It is a popular example of the trend towards combining sweet and savory flavors in contemporary cuisine.
History[edit | edit source]
The bacon sundae has its roots in the United States, where it was popularized by the fast food chain Burger King in 2012. However, the concept of combining bacon with sweet elements can be traced back to the tradition of serving bacon with maple syrup, a common practice in American cuisine.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
A typical bacon sundae consists of vanilla ice cream topped with caramel sauce, hot fudge, chopped nuts, and a strip of cooked bacon. Some variations may include other ingredients such as whipped cream, a cherry, or even additional bacon.
The bacon used in a bacon sundae is usually cooked until crispy, to provide a textural contrast to the soft ice cream. It is also typically salted, which helps to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Reception[edit | edit source]
The bacon sundae has received mixed reviews. Some people appreciate the combination of sweet and savory flavors, while others find it too unusual or even unappetizing. Despite this, the bacon sundae has gained a certain level of cultural notoriety, and it is often cited as an example of the "bacon mania" trend in contemporary cuisine.
