Bacon bread

I thought I had seen it all, but the world never ceases to amaze me. In a county where a good bottle of wine costs five dollars and fine dining is ubiquitous, I have been introduced to a culinary masterpiece: bacon bread.

Speckled with little pink chunks of nicely cooked bacon, the bread was both salty and crunchy, just like its namesake. Consumed with a nice bottle of malbec, I found the experience a true delight.

And while the restaurant that introduced us to this legend-in-the-making wasn't all that great, I can cut them some slack. At the very least, they have opened my eyes to a new universe of bacon foods. Upon return to the US, stay tuned for my own version.
