I can't stand bacon and chocolate together, but bacon and vanilla ice cream seems like something that might be tasty.
Beer ice cream, for those who don't want to do the float option: https://www.craftbeer.com/beer-and-food/i-scream-you-scream-its-craft-beer-ice-cream1 -

Lol.. the idea is so foreign to me, it would be like dropping ice cream in a beer or pairing sardines with stewed peaches..
If you can make a root beer float, I don't see why you couldn't make a regular beer float!
And bacon on vanilla ice cream would be absolutely divine, salty crunchiness in creamy vanilla-ness.
Nom, nom, nom... 5 -

Try ice cream with warm Yorkshire pudding. It's delicious! (I know, it sounds odd, but just try it... as long as you don't put herbs in your batter, that is!)1 -

I have had vanilla ice cream in beer. Not bad. I’m not a beer lover, but I could take it with ice cream.

Oh, and peanut butter and bacon sandwiches.
Or PB and bacon on a burger...
I used to go to a hot dog hut that had a beef hot dog with bacon and peanut butter. The idea grossed me out so much....until one day, I must have been low on protein or something and suddenly my mouth watered at the idea. Bought it and practically had a foodgasm with that first bite.5 -

A brewery near me makes a delicious Mexican Chocolate Stout that makes an amazing beer float with the Mexican Chocolate ice cream from Boulder Organics! Very popular at summer BBQs!7 -

Ahh.. this is why we maybe don't get the bacon with sweets thing.. I'm Australian so it's not a food combo that's common here either.
I'm thinking I should have used a different example than beer and ice cream..
Ginger beer and ice cream is yum though.3 -
Bacon with sweets thing doesn't seem a huge step, since big weekend breakfasts when I was a kid (one of the things my dad cooked) were always bacon, eggs, and then pancakes or waffles. Or maybe bacon with french toast. Maple syrup on the pancakes or waffles or french toast would also get on the bacon.
Sausage would work too in the breakfast context, but we mostly would have bacon.3 -

So you had bacon, eggs and pancakes with syrup all on the same plate?
Never had maple syrup on mine.. always butter, sugar and lemon juice.1 -
Cinnamon on watermelon, anyone?
Cayenne pepper or hot sauce on everything (BUT watermelon)?

Yep.
Never heard of putting sugar or lemon juice on pancakes, maybe more of an Australian thing? And for some reason I've never liked butter on mine.
I sometimes make these higher fiber/higher protein pancakes now (the only eggs in that meal are in the pancakes, because of calories adding up) and eat with bacon and unfrosted frozen berries, usually strawberries, as they become syrup like, but I can totally see pancakes with bacon and eggs being tasty now, with the yolk (over easy) and syrup getting on the bacon and pancakes.1 -

Tbh, I'm not sure if it's an Australian thing or just that my nana always made them like that (she had Scottish ancestors) She made pansized pancakes and slathered them with butter then sprinkled with sugar and then lemon juice.. I think I can see now how I maybe ended up here 🤔😁

West Indians/ Caribbean people put pepper on their fruit like that that’s pretty normal to them. I went to Trinidad and people would sell mangos mixed with pepper sauce in a ziplock bag.
I’m not a fan.0 -

Your pancakes sound like British pancakes - more like crepes, very thin and usually rolled up? That's how my mum made them, and we always had sugar and lemon juice on them.
North American pancakes are much thicker, and fabulous with syrup. (Like drop scones or Scotch pancakes, if you've ever had those - not sure if they're purely British.) And yes, bacon, sausage, egg, AND the pancakes and syrup on the same plate! Bonus points for also puring syrup over the bacon and sausages... 3 -

If you're feeling adventurous, try a peanut butter sandwich with some chopped raw onion in it. I thought my husband was insane when he first tried to get me to eat that, and I resisted for ages. But it works surprisingly well!1 -

No.. these aren't thin, they are like an American pancake not crepe. It's possible it's just a my family thing 😁
I still can't imagine sweet syrup on savoury food like sausages or bacon. I think maybe I should try the syrup on pancakes though.1 -

Omg a beer float actually sounds like it would be good. (And I don't drink, lol) I am surprised this isn't a popular thing.0 -

Totally could be. I've had beers that were super sweet and would pair nicely with something like a vanilla bean ice cream... (ex: toffee stout, coffee porters, chocolate stout...I had one recently that was a salted caramel coconut something-it's like these beers were designed to be dessert.)0 -

I got this beer as a gift...didn't care for it too much because it was so sweet. But maybe with ice cream...

Talk about sweet and savoury; try caramelizing your bacon. It’s got it all; smoky, salty, fatty and sweet.4
