Do those vertical bacon strips come out and get served hot or cold?

While I agree in theory with @Florida_gal_50 that coating bacon with sweetness seems wrong, I guess we will have to try it, finally, on our next cruise!

Found this recipe for Spicy Maple Candied Bacon. 😋

Here's the "real deal" it does not have the heat @dobiemom recipe has.

Aloha. Yes the thought of sweet bacon sounds weird but it works. We have had it both in Hawaii and New York where it is served in many restaurants. It is quite delicious. Enjoy!

It's that combo of salty and sweet that's so delicious! Think of a Reeses peanut butter/chocolate cup.

Aloha. There is a brand of bacon called Neuskes which is served in many restaurants. I can’t recall if HAL serves them but it seems to be a restaurant standard just curious if they use them as I am having a senior moment 😂

You definitely need to try it.  For me it was one and done.  Anything that can get me to not eat bacon I see as a win 😛🥓😂.

Anything that gets me eating more bacon 🥓 (well cooked, not soggy) is a win. 😊🤗🥳 just skip the pickle and 🍋

I think that I will stay with shrimp cocktail and salmon, haha

Bacon has been paired with sweet for years. There's a particular specialty bacon provider that cures theirs in brown sugar. Maple flavor is also common, even in your run-of-the-mill grocery store bacon.

 

There's a restaurant about a block away from me that serves the aforementioned brown-sugar cured bacon in a jar with a side of home made peanut butter. It's very popular.

Great pair - give me your candied bacon and you can have my shrimp & salmon. Win Win!!

Unfortunately I’m not blessed with the metabolism that many people on this board seem to be blessed with 😔.

They have great rolls in the PG unless you are trying to cut out while flour

from your diet

Does anyone know if they bake rolls on the ship that use almond flour?

[jthek]

Great sauce

I'm sure they don't. Gluten free bread option was basically sandwich bread served pre-dinner... well, kept my tween happy anyway!

We enjoyed the shrimp in the PG, yet I did find them somewhat small, or at least, smaller in size that we enjoy at home.

What do you mean served pre dinner?

That was terrible phrasing, sorry - I mean this was the option that arrived to the table.

Will check it out

West Coast Cioppino is a great dish for lunch

I'm from Calgary, Home of the Stampede! Pancake breakfasts abound on almost every street corner for 10 days. Pancakes with Maple syrup and bacon or sausage,( a little syrup always flows onto  the bacon or sausage yum!

I'm a bacon addict (real bacon not the streaky crunchy stuffs Americans love) and I'm a sugar addict - but I gotta say the concept of candied bacon has zero appeal to me. I may try it for the cultural experience.
