As some may know I have some pretty strong ties to the Westmoreland County Fair.
While I was there I kept hearing about the newest fair food — chocolate-covered bacon.
As a foodie, I was intrigued. At first I thought it sounded disgusting. Then, I thought about the salty/sweet combination and my mouth started to water. I am always up for trying something new and different. I do like both chocolate and bacon independently so maybe the two can mix.
So I decided I must try this new creation. I got a group of the most adventurous people I know, rabbit breeders, and made my way up the midway to the chocolate covered everything booth.
With a smile on my face and a dollar in my hand I asked for a piece.
That’s when the woman replied, “it will be 30 minutes.”
I was heart-broken since I was hoping to get back to Somerset. So I left, without trying chocolate-covered bacon.
Thursday I returned to the fair with a single goal — try the chocolate-covered bacon. This time I only had the fiancé by my side.
I got a piece and it was pretty good. It had a unique chewy texture after biting through the chocolate coating. It also had an interesting taste.
Seth also had a piece — and he didn’t like it. He cited the texture as the main reason he is anti-chocolate bacon.
But Seth’s opinions aside I encourage everyone to try this tasty treat. Trust me — I am Italian.

That just doesn’t sound good at all. Then again I don’t like bacon. :p My cousin tried to get me to try a deep fried oreo, but I wasn’t feeling great so I had to pass on it at the Bedford fair.
I love chocolate covered Oreos, trust me they are so good.
