Would you try bacon flavored soda?


I love bacon but could this be any good?

Why not? It's kind of interesting of an idea but I think you can go to far with the bacon flavoring.

In a word: YES

I'd try anything once,except incest or country dancing - but I would need to be pretty baked to crave bacon soda.

I'm just imagining bacon burps.

Everyone here knows I am a big bacon fan (eating some with some goat cheese right now!) but if I'm going to drink some bacon it is going to be bacon infused bourbon (recipe here) not soda.


I actually saw them trying the bacon soda on a news program (Today show or Fox or one of those, I forget) and they said it was pretty nasty.

I might have a sip, but guess not the whole bottle. I think it would be appropriate for cooking though. You know how some people use coke or wine for cooking, bacon soda could be another alternative.

Ugh. I do not see the obsession with bacon flavoured... things. Baconnaise? What's going on there?! Flavoured things are never as good as the original and why would you want a savory drink?!

I spent a weekend trying to perfect a bacon-flavored Creme Anglaise base to be frozen as ice cream. It worked out amazing, actually. In the best result, I steeped a richly-smoked artisan bacon in the base for several hours before straining through a chinois lined with a cheese cloth. For extra fun, I also strained some of the bacon fat back into the base. To keep with the theme, I sweetened the custard with a mix of regular baker's sugar along with maple syrup. Eating it was an interesting experience because your mind expects a sweet flavor and the mouthfeel delivers exactly what you'd expect with ice cream . . . except you got an intense smokehouse flavor along with porky fat on the palate. The best part, was that it was such a polarizing experience. It was simultaneously lauded by some, and disdained by just as many.

What can I say? Progress takes balls.

And why not have a bacon-flavored soda?
