Oh, bacon, how I love thee, even though the whole foodie world has had their way with you and knows your virtues. Okay, so when President's Choice came out with BACON MARMALADE. I had to try it! It was even better that I received a coupon in the mail to get a free jar with a purchase of the PC Black Label 8-yr cheddar. When I was checking out of the grocery store, this is the conversation I had with the clerk:
Her: "This bacon thing is really popular."
Me: "Really? Is it any good?"
Her: "No idea. No one's came back yet about it, and I would never buy it."
Me: "Hmm. (that's a bad sign)"
First off, I was a bit disappointed by the first 5 ingredients. The texture upon scooping is kind of funky. It's very hard and chunky, in a bad way. Have you ever thought of spreading a Jell-O cup onto anything? No? Well, neither have I, and this is exactly how it feels. The taste is quite nice, if you do not think of it as a Bacon product. With a dollop on a spoon and into my mouth, I taste sugar, then onion, then orange, then balsamic, with a smoky bacon finish. I paired the marmalade with cheddar and ham baked into a croissant.
Given it's alot cheaper than buying a jar from Pusateri's, I still probably would not buy this product again.
