Republic of Bacon

Due to life being insanely busy at the moment, here is a fluffy post.

I have eaten maple-bacon ice cream and yes, it was kind of weird. It tasted sort of like smoky chewy bits, instead of walnuts. Would I try it again? Maybe not...

I have seen maple-bacon longjohns at dougnut emporiums. Yumm! (but I'm not going there, haha. Cholesterol city!)

I have seen neon bacon, 'bakon' vodka (ew) bacon-flavoured mints (yeah no thanks Mr. Oinkers) and bacon bandages.

Oh and a lot of this stuff was in Portland, which is a very cool city. Kind of a decaying downtown core but oh so trendy. A big foodie culture, with lots of record shops, the biggest bookstore I have ever been in (Powell's books) and great coffee at Stumptown grinders. Love it!
