The most polarizing food: where do you stand?

Bacon and sweets seemed to be a huge craze locally for me about 5 years ago. It horrified my husband, who doesn't eat or like bacon, because one particular bakery would have a huge case of treats and everything would smell and taste vaguely of bacon due to some bacon maple scones & bacon-topped donuts they offered.
For me it's not abhorrent but not particularly enticing, either. I'd try it, I guess! I don't mind a plate of pancakes with sausage or bacon that gets a little maple syrup on...0 -

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.
Root beer float for me, vanilla bean ice cream.
On the bacon...good maple syrup is amazing. One of my favorite go to breakfasts was eggs over easy, bacon, pancakes and toast with a good jam. Liberal amounts of syrup on everything but the toast. That was for mopping up what was left.
I really want that now lol.2 -
On the beer and ice cream spectrum, I gotta say I thought this was pretty excellent:
(I am not a stockholder in Haagen Dazs or any of its parent corporations, as far as I know. I just think this stuff is seriously delicious.)5 -
For many years, an ice cream parlour I loved served its own made-on-premises Guinness ice cream. Apparently it was really good.2

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 🤔😁
It's a British thing. Always have butter, sugar, and lemon on pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. (Just before Lent starts) Thick pancakes (called drop scones) are Scots/Irish in origin, thinner crepes are more English.3 -

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that eats them that way. I was beginning to think I was alone. 😁0 -

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.
I'm Australian and many cafes here sell pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. I appreciate a side of caramelised banana with mine too...2 -

Yeah.. I'm Australian too, yes there are Americanised cafes serving it in the last couple years.. we have many American influences popping up but I'm betting though as a kid you'd never have seen that combo or even thought of it..
I'm just saying I'll have my eggs, bacon and toast sans syrup thanks 😁
Oh and caramelized banana and ice cream.. yes please 🤤1 -

I just made buttermilk pancakes this morning topped with maple syrup and bananas. I don't put sugar in my pancakes, though, so perhaps what I'm making is more technically flatbread? I usually like my pancakes with butter too, but since I'm trying to keep the calories in check today, I skipped that. Pancakes with strawberry jam, apple butter or plum butter are a nice switch up, too!
Though the carmelized banana and ice cream sounds divine!2 -

Yummm.. strawberry jam is good too.
I'd try maple syrup and banana.
Yeah, the calories suck in them. I save eating mine till a treat day, there's just under 800 cals in mine, I cook them in a bit of butter too

I tried salted caramel on pancakes last Shrove Tuesday. They were delicious. The pancakes were the thin ones, and the salted caramel melted and spread thinly, so not too bad on calories. Anyway it's a once a year treat, so I don't stress too much about it.6

The ones at my grocery store are usually peanut and treenut free though, which is why they make an excellent class party treat.
I think this is why I've seen quite a few of these, nut allergen friendly.
I don't land one particular way on the matter, I'll have one if they are available, they aren't my preference but I don't find them gross either.0 -

Is this a real thing?
If so, just... why? Why would anyone think that was a good thing to make?1 -

Apparently the mustard ice cream is real, a special thing for National Mustard Day. If it were in front of me, I'd be interested in trying it. It doesn't sound good, but I'm open minded.

Maybe... just to confirm that it really IS as disgusting as it sounds... I wouldn't pay money for it though! 2 -
You need steak sauce on eggs, way better than ketchup! And Tabasco sauce goes on mac and cheese.
In my life Tabasco goes on every savory dish or snack i eat1 -

While I hear what you're saying, I find that horseradish sauce goes with literally everything.
(And after I had almost-certainly-whooping-cough a few years back, I couldn't eat ANY condiments for six weeks because they all provoked coughing fits that closed my throat. That was a terrible, bland time in my life)1 -

I actually don't think it sounds that bad... call me crazy??! but I think it makes sense... I mean, mustard is actually sweet-ish.1 -
