We all know my obsession with meats not being used in ways that they normally should. Such as with the infamous bacon doughnut.
I (Joe) have managed to find yet another one of these meaty creations. Yesterday afternoon, Joe and I went to the Ragtag to see Food Inc. Joe said that I didn't like the movie mostly based on the fact that it didn't give me something to get mad about. He might be right. BUT they didn't really take on the dairy industry-they visited a Stoneyfield organic producer and only mentioned rBST in the sense that Wal-Mart wanted milk produced without it in response to its customers demands. (Yet, most of these customers are misinformed about rBST AND Wal-Mart also wants to know the carbon footprint/environmental impact of the dairy industry. I'm sure they want it reduced and the best way to do that is with rBST. Stupid hypocritacal Wal-Mart.)
ANYWAY-Joe went out to get a drink and came back to whisper in my ear that in the lobby at the snack bar there was a chedder bacon ice cream sandwich. And of course, we were to try it.
After the movie, we got one (ONLY ONE! I declared!) to share. It was good but not terribly impressive. The ice cream was vanilla with bacon in it but the bacon was barely noticable. The cookie was a shortbread type and was seemingly too dry and flour-y. I would have preferred to have the cookie to be very soft such as with a real ice cream sandwich or very crispy like a cracker. The cookie was orange giving the suggestion of cheese but like many of a cheese cracker that flavor was missing. There was also a faint taste of maple but a strong taste of pepper and celery salt.
Joe and I debated the ways that ths could have been made better and declared that perhaps it all laid in the cookie. The texture wasn't right and the pepper wasn't a good way to go. Joe also suggested that the maple bacon was overbearing but I argue that the maple flavor is needed to tie in the sweetness of the ice cream in with the bacon like with the doughnut.
Anyway, I'm glad that I tried the bacon cheddar ice cream sandwich even if it wasn't as delightful as the bacon doughnut.
