Bacon and desserts; desserts and bacon… it’s a coupling that’s as strange as that union of James Packer and his lady love Mariah, but it works (kind of) and we’re happy for them/it. Love and deli meats work in untold and mysterious ways, and don’t we know it.
So here you are, Australia, some sweet bacon foods and drinks that’ll both confuse and amuse your tastebuds this weekend:

And an honorary mention to the forefather of bacon dessert, the icon that started it all: Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck‘s bacon and egg ice cream (sadly no longer being served on our shores at TFD pop-up in VIC – pls come back soon). Thank you for showing us the versatility of pork, HB.
