Odd pairings sometimes work… and sometimes they don’t. Case in point… The other day while perusing the gourmet food section of my local World Market store, I found myself staring face to face with a Mo’s Bacon Bar by Vosges. In a nutshell a Mo’s Bacon Bar is an apple wood smoked bacon and milk chocolate candy bar.
A few thoughts flashed through my mind as the bacon bar stared me down — should I run through the store like a little girl flailing my arms about, screaming that there are pig parts in a chocolate bar — or, should I man up and spend $7 on a chocolate bar… with pig parts in it… and is probably not kosher — and lastly, if a Canadian Goose could speak like a human, would it speak French or English? I opted to not buy the Mo’s Bacon Bar, as $7 for a 3 ounce bar of chocolate is a bit spendy — but I am considering it. I think I’ll continue to mull over the Canadian Goose issue for now. Maybe it would be English with a French accent.
$7.50 – Buy from Vosges

I can’t comment on the Bacon Bar, but I imagine it would actually be quite tasty. Pigs and chocolate go well together, especially deep-fried pigs.
But on the Canadian Goose issue: my guess is it would sound something like that one french knight who makes fun of Arthur and his knights of the round table from the top of his master’s castle. Maybe it wouldn’t be as rude, but the accent comes quite close I think.
I recently did a post on this. It is so good, I just bought the Naga bar with coconut and curry, I have not tried it yet.
