Channeling my inner Orihime today.

Today at work we have sales reps, and as a treat they brought us gourmet doughnuts. And these aren't just your standard choco-sprinkles. These are: pumpkin, rosemary-almond, chocolate-rose, vanilla, coconut, and...


BACON. Pieces of bacon, with a maple-like glaze. The entire doughnut tastes like bacon. ohmygoditssogood.


The one next to it is a lemon-pistachio.


hahahaha. J is going to love this. He puts bacon on everything.

while I enjoy bacon, I think I may have just thrown up in my mouth a little. Tried bacon ice cream at this boardwalk ice cream parlor in Delaware. Was not a fan.

Highly recommend bacon wrapped figs though.

BLASPHEMY

I want to try bacon ice cream. ;____; Why not a fan? You don't like the salty/sweet combo?

Bacon-wrapped anything is pretty good, too.

No, I do enjoy salty/sweet and not averse to weird ice cream flavors either. the chocolate-rose doughnut is more my style, I'll admit. Have made wasabi ice cream which was delicious.

It sort of tasted like cold bacon wrapped around a stick of butter. Maybe it was just the place but gross. Ain't gonna try the bacon infused vodka for anything but cooking either.

you should go to one of those brazilian style steakhouses. "Would you like lamb? Would you like lamb wrapped in bacon? Would you like pork loin? Would you like pork loin wrapped in bacon? Would you like bacon wrapped in bacon?"

Incidentally, there's a Brazilian steakhouse that just popped up about 10 minutes away from us, that we're dying to try. And the fact that they wrap everything in bacon? ...We just might have to try it earlier. XD

I can see not liking the cold bacon wrapped in butter thing. But the bacon doughnut was actually really good, not cold at all.

We have a place in town that makes weird donut flavors like maple/bacon and such. It's called The Donut Hole, pretty clever since they make donuts.

Heehee, go figure. :D

I feel a bit deprived that I'd never experienced bacon/maple doughnuts before. But this is CA, and we're all a buncha granola-and-seaweed-eating health freaks, so that's probably why. :/

My initial reaction was "ew", but now I'm really curious and intrigued.

Also, pumpkin and rosemary-almond sound INCREDIBLE.

Which isn't to say I've never had pumpkin donuts before, but I'd assume a place that makes gourmet donuts would make them better ^_^

The pumpkin and rosemary-almond were indeed good. I actually liked the lemon-pistachio the best; I love lemon anything. And the pumpkin doughtnuts had this little tiny vein of cinnamon running through them - made them so much better than the pumpkin cakes or cookies I've had.

Now they need to invent an oatmeal doughnut. Mmm.

You have awesome ideas. An oatmeal donut sounds lovely ^_^

LMAO!!

Very nice, that does seem like an Orihime thing to do.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but one thing I can say, don't knock it until you try it. hehe

How revolting. Only in America..where weighing less than 200 lbs means you're petite.

True, but incidentally Canada's obesity rates are skyrocketing, as well. It's a global epidemic.

It's a matter of personal taste, definitely, but I don't see how it could be revolting. I just happen to like salty/sweet combinations.

Canada definitely qualifies as a gluttonous nation. Sometimes I forget that..the city I live in is known as Canada's LA and has a very low rate of obesity, it's full of fitness freaks . I put in 4 days a week at the gym and that makes me pretty average amongst my peers.

C'mon..a bacon donut! Hahaha. I guess it's revolting because I equate it to biting in to a stick of butter.
