I cant wrap my mind around the idea of bacon covered in chocolate. It's LUNACY!

I had a chili once where they said their secret ingredient was chocolate. No wonder why it was nasty. Just doesn't go together!

I bet I’m the only person in here that doesn’t really like bacon. After you go through some health scares, it just tastes greasy and bad to me anymore.

I tasted a chocolate chili once at a restaurant (can’t remember the name). It was not good at all. Tasted very twangy with a starch kick.

I've never had jerked chicken or pork. (This is a hard subject to approach).

Is it safe to say that my wife makes a good jerk chicken. She’s also made some good chicken jerky as well as deer jerky.

is it just the seasonings that make the jerked chicken or is there more to it?

There’s an Amish market about ten minutes outside of Ft Meade that sold chocolate covered bacon. Had a good friend in my AIT (army job training) that loved the stuff. He passed away, so I buy chocolate covered bacon anytime I see it just for him.

I can’t say. She likes to take recipes from Pinterest and make them. It’s like a challenge to her. Maybe 16 years ago, one out of three would taste terrible but she was ok with me suggesting changes. Now it’s seems like they are all good. She makes a “special” meal about once a week.

Gotta be safe when it comes to health. I love bacon, but fresh sausage is my favorite. Like know someone who raises a pig and has it processed, that's good stuff.

If I were on death row, my last meal would be a pound of thick sliced bacon with a side of bacon.

Gotta agree with Windy here. Cincinnati chili (Skyline, etc) is made with cinnamon and cocoa and it’s disgusting.

 

[malinoisvol]

I like a slice of chocolate cake on the side with my chili, but not in my chili.

Pimento wood for smoke and absolutely have to have scotch bonnet peppers, not habaneros. Plus other spices.

Where does the "jerked" come from?

I really couldn’t tell you, I think it the way they prepare the chicken/pork. Ask MoodyVol. Has family from Jamaica.

 

[malinoisvol]

@MoodyVol, would you be kind enough to explain the origin of jerked chicken and why it's called "jerked"?

I have enjoyed many cuisines from around the world to include the Dominican Republic. However, I have never had jerked chicken. TIA

Still waiting.

Still waiting.

If your still waiting, depends on the protein cooking. Still have a answer.

That’s what we’re waiting for, the answer.
