Coffee flavours and food and bacon

If we were to ask you, what is the first food and coffee pairing that comes to mind?

As we are currently in the hot summer months, perhaps coffee ice-cream is close to your heart at the moment.

There are other coffee flavourings that are very popular too   how about coffee flavoured cakes (often coupled with walnuts)?

Or coffee flavoured chocolate?

Have you noticed that all of these more usual suggestions for pairings are based on coupling coffee with a sweet taste?

However, there has recently been a new addition to the market of coffee couplings.

As reported in the Daily Mail and other online news stories, Boca Java has taken the unusual step of pairing the coffee bean with bacon.

Yes, that’s right. Bacon.

Would you like to try some bacon flavoured coffee?

It is aimed at combining the full body of coffee with ‘meaty, salty deliciousness of bacon.’

The product is called Maple Bacon Morning.

And let’s think about it: when you have a traditional hearty breakfast, the odds are that you have already tasted the coupling of bacon and coffee during the same meal, so why not try a coffee flavoured in this way?

What other unlikely foods do you think might go well with coffee?
