Fun With Carbs

If you’re like me, you’ve been following the proliferation of bacon-flavored products with equal parts glee and horror. (Mostly glee.)

There’s bacon mayonnaise. Bacon salt. Bacon chocolate bars. Bacon cupcakes. And in Boston, event organizers even dreamed up a Bacon and Beer Festival, held last month.

Now, devotees of the salty, greasy breakfast staple have another reason to celebrate. Torani has added a bacon flavor to its line of beverage syrups. Which means that now, you can literally have your bacon and drink it, too. Bacon lattes, anyone?

Too bad Starbucks doesn’t carry this brand of syrup. Can you imagine if this was an option for the new “However You Want It” Frappuccino items? Bacon syrup, chocolate sauce and sprinkles of bacon bits… (Local coffee shops, if you’re reading, I want credit for this concoction.)
