Do you like the mix?



I have only tried a maple bar with bacon on top and I thought it was nasty. However the bacon was hard as a rock and I like mine kinky still.


A few years ago I was in a Denny's with my mom and they were running a few specials that were salty and sweet. The waiter said they all sold well, but people loved the bacon milkshake. Just seems odd to me.
 
The combo works very well for some things Kettle corn is the obvious example, I guess, and once I get my hands on that, I can't stop.

And some people love getting their pancake syrup on their bacon or sausage. (I can take that or leave it, but prefer my cured breakfast meats without syrup.) The famous chicken-and-waffles combo never appealed to me, though. And the bacon-chocolate bar I tried was awful.

My trip to Vegas in 2014 I took my mother to her first and only trip. While there we ate at the Wynn Buffet. They had waffle battered fried chicken. It was one of the oddest things I have ever tried. My mother however loved it. They even had sugar free syrup for her. Maybe it would have been better with some syrup, but I don't like to eat it so I did mine with just honey.

I have never understood why people like chicken and waffles.

The Payday bar has been that combination for decades now.

In fact, peanuts seem to often be the vehicle for salty in the combo of many.

Never tried one of those, but I do like Snickers. The peanuts don't have a salty taste to me though.
 
I just remembered that one of my favorite ice creams (Rocky Road) comes with nuts and the brands that salt the nuts are nasty. The unsalted ones are heaven though.

In Snickers, the peanuts are drowned in goo and chocolate, and probably are not salted peanuts. They are providing texture most likely. I'm not a fan of Snickers. Too sweet. Too gooey.

Payday does have a caramel core, but the peanuts are the focus, and they are more noticeably salted.

To the thread's topic, salted caramel has exploded in the candy world in the last decade, and likewise on restaurant desert menus, as various forms of dessert with flaked salt accents, etc.

It's also not unknown in folk cuisine. When I first taught school in east Arkansas, the old women I socialized with were quick to say they'd chase dessert with a dinner roll or some other savory bite, almost as a palate cleanse to get the sweet out.

Oddly enough I don't think I have ever had salted caramel. The idea of it just seems odd to me.
 
We buy the Magnum Double Salted Caramel ice cream pints once in a while. Inside is a Belgium chocolate shell with double salted caramel ice cream inside of that. The flavors are balanced nicely.

You're probably doing as I did before (knowingly) trying it: assuming that it's much saltier than it actually is. With good salted caramel ice cream or candy, you might not realize it was salted at all without being told unless you tasted it right alongside the same thing with no (or less) salt). The effect's really not much different from that of the 1/4 teaspoon of salt you'd use in a cookie recipe.
 
Americans have a strange idea of what a pancake is.
To us, it's what the French would call a crêpe, and is an essential part of an enchilada. But it works equally well as as a dessert.

Well, sort of. A pannekoek isn't truly the same thing as a crepe, though they are similar.
Come to think of it, though, are South African pannekoeken the same as Dutch ones?
 
Keep in mind some of our most beloved Chinese take out is a balance of salty and sweet. From General Tso's chicken to BBQ ribs etcetera.

I'm not sure what currently goes on in authentic Dutch ovens,
Pannekoek or pancakes are thin - and not sweet inherently (no sugar in the mix itself). Then there are flapjacks which are much thicker, sweet and spongy soft - these seem more what I see on USA TV called pancakes. Then there's a waffle, which is more crunchy than spongy.
The coup de grace is "vetkoek", (pronounced fet-kook) made from risen white bread dough in a lump the size of a potato, but deep fried in sunflower oil. Some serve them with savoury beef mince, others with fruit jam and cane-sugar syrup.
 
Love salty and sweet.

Anything that is cooked with salt should have a pinch of sweet at least and vice versa.

Nothing better than chocolate with fleur de sel.
