I’m not sure how to feel about this. It’s bacon, and it’s jam, two tasty food items, so it must be good right? However, I’m envisioning something similar to sweetened vegemite, which is enough to give me pause.
I can already think of a few recipes I might like to to try it out with, but I’ll wait for someone braver than myself to give it a whirl.
Apparently the creators run a little mobile bistro in the Seattle area. Any Seattle Dopers care to check it out? Skillet Street Food
I must say that the picture on the linked e-bay listing does not look especially appetizing, and the generic Mason jar packaging gives it that extra special “stuff we scraped out of the grease trap in the grill out back” appeal.
I do like the “suggested uses” section, where one option is “frozen into popsicle form”. You just know there’s someone, if not multiple people, out there who would try that without even having it suggested to them.
The rather poor grammar and gratuitous "…"s are somewhat scary. It doesn’t make me trust that this is something which would live up to mandated cleanliness standards.
As it’s Seattle, I did look up their locations though. Fortunately, none of their stops are within walking distance of my place (and I don’t have a car), so I’m spared having to make the choice whether to go or not.
I think it could work quite well. Some very crispy bacon, surrounded by a complementary fruit jam. Why not? If you like bacon and maple syrup, I think something like bacons and raspberry would work well together. I don’t really think it’s necessary to have them in the same jar, but, hey, why not try.
