Bacon Not Included

Tref · 07-18-2007, 12:24 PM

Last night we made Elvis Presley's favorite before dinner snack, fried peanut butter, jelly, banana and bacon sammiches. And it was good. Real good. Though I cheated some and used soy bacon. That was a mistake. If you're going to go for the gold (or Fool's Gold, as it were) then for heaven's sake do not skimp on the crispy fried latch-key to the whole culinary experience. But for me it was less a calorie thing then a I-just-don't-want-to-fry-bacon-thing.

But I am not the only one who feels this way ...

... the Reese's brand ... is coming out with a peanut butter and banana creme cup, starring Elvis Presley. Yes, they'll be using the songs and images of the king of rock and roll to sell candy ...

But no bacon. To read about the new Reese's Elvis Candy, with photo, click here

If you don't want the fry mess, try the precooked stuff. It crisps up quick & clean in the toaster oven or microwave. While not quite the total fried effect, it is way better than the soy.

We sampled a similar concoction (deep fried banana, honey, peanutbutter sandwich) at the OC Fair. It had a lot going for it. I particularly liked the honey aspect, added an interesting layer to the flavor medley.

I've done PB, banana and honey sandwiches in a pan at home, not deep fried. That's my favorite sandwich to order at Peanut Butter & Co. in NYC. The bacon is optional.

Reese's Peanut Butter cups, hold the bacon, hold the bananas and bread.
I tasted the Elvis version, it did not appeal, too greasy and messy for me.

I like my bacon as the star on it's own or in a BLAT

I put peanut butter on my BLT sandwiches. Does that count?

I had a Hamburger at Bowl Weevil that was PB and bacon.... but no banana.

And walgreens has the LARGE PB cups. They were/are a point of sale item at the register.

I didn't know the Elvis version had bacon in it.

He used to keep bowl of bacon on his piano (according to legend at least).

He also kept an extra slice of bacon in his wallet.
