Pork, it's what's for dessert
A short distance from the sprong, is Rehoboth Beach, home of the boardwalk, Funland (more on this later), Dolles Saltwater Taffy, and iconic food offerings ranging from Thrasher's fries to The Ice Cream Store's bacon ice cream. Yeah, that's right: bacon ice cream.
It was a bold concept--one that I supported--but in the end, after I purchased and consumed it, I had mixed feelings about the final product. I expected some kind of creative way of working bacon (or bacon flavor) into an delicious ice cream flavor. Instead, I got ice cream (basic vanilla, I think) with large chunks of smokey bacon in it. That's it. There was no mystery, no frozen alchemy. It was like chocolate chip ice cream, only the chips were removed and replaced by bacon. In the end, I found the sweet/savory flavor combination interesting, but not magical.

If you find yourself at the Delaware coast, head to Rehoboth Beach, walk down Rehoboth Avenue toward the boardwalk, and judge for yourself. Better yet, give the "booger" ice cream a try.

I wonder about the "viagra" flavor.
Yeah, I was tempted by the "beer ice cream," too, but it is hard to pass up bacon in any situation.
