I tried a bar with bacon pieces blended into it, and was sorely disappointed. It was edible enough, but not nearly as good as it oughta have been. The collars sound cool though! ---

I had it once. It was awful. I’m not big on bacon but once in a while it’s okay. But with chocolate? EW. ---

I had a fried Snickers at the fair this year. It was awesome. Of course, I prefer my Snickers a little on the melty side. ---

There’s a trendy donut shop nearby that has [hamburger donuts](http://www.travelingfeast.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Psycho-Donuts-1-550.jpg) with bacon as the “burger”. I’m sorry to report that they aren’t very good at all. ---

Trust me - it is the chocolate dipped, DEEP FRIED bacon that is to-die-for! That beautiful, golden dough gracefully encasing the crisp, chocolately-salty goodness is lovely! Seriously! ---

They have a huge selection and 4 sizes of adjustable collars. Our local pet store only sells one line that only comes in toy dog, 50lb dog, and massive dog sizes. Our 35lb girls have a hard time fitting in any of them. We got the large size for the width and were lucky that it fits them at the smallest adjustment. ---

> [@Gleena](#): > > Or fried dill pickles (Yum! Just Yum!) Fried pickles are really good. I didn’t get them today (although they did have them). I had them a few weeks ago at the Texas Roadhouse in Worcester. I was very impressed but I’d really like to try them with sweet pickles. ---

The bacon was deep-fried? That’s bullshit. Quickest way to make bacon not worth eating. I recommend pan-frying in it’s own fat, then dipping in your own pot of melted high-quality milk chocolate. ---

I recommend pan-frying in it’s own fat, then dipping in your own pot of melted high-quality milk chocolate. The bacon _was_ deep fried in its own fat. Then dipped in chocolate. THEN dipped in batter and fried again… :D:D:D ---

> [@NinetyWt](#): > > We should compare Fair foods. I’ve never heard of a Maine potato. Do y’all have elephant ears and chicken-on-a-stick? When my girlfriend came out, she was insistent that we find elephant ears. I’d never heard of them, and we didn’t find them after quite a while of wandering. She was rather upset. Then we stumbled upon a booth with fried Indian bread. Turns out to be the same thing! Peace and order were restored. We don’t have chicken-on-a-stick out here, but we do have pork-chops-on-a-stick, as well as turkey legs. ---

I got to try cheesecake on a stick at this year’s county fair. A frozen wedge of cheesecake on a stick, dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. Mmm… My fair goal is always to try something different that is deep-fried or on a stick or both. 🙂 ---

It’s supposed to taste better at the fair. I can eat a loaded baked potato whenever I want but it’s not the same as getting it at the Big E. I know at least the funnel cakes are [uncommonly good](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKuRVkMBx5I) at the fair. ---

There’s a place here in my town that serves… Get ready. . . . . . . . . . . . . . \*\* Crispy Fried Bacon\*\* I asked the poor waitress if she was trying to seduce me using my three favorite words like that. It’s lightly breaded, and deep fried heaven. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-may-all-envy-me/554653.md?page=1)
