I was low tonight, so I poured some honey on top of a piece of bacon. ## OMG! 😋 I know, anything tastes good when you are low. But this took it to another level. 😀 Anyone else ever tried this?!? ---

If you want to make it ahead of time here is a good looking recipe for it, I imagine the apple cider vinegar will improve the taste immensely. > **[Honey-Candied Bacon Recipe - Holiday Recipes - Barkman Honey](http://www.barkmanhoney.com/recipe/honey-candied-bacon/)** ---

This sounds delicious. Ceyenne pepper too. Yum ---

Then chop it up and sprinkle it on top of a huge plate of poutine. ---

That recipe does look good! Part of the appeal to me was just the random assemblage of items I found in the kitchen at the moment, without any prior planning. I was very low, was not really processing too quickly. I saw some bacon and thought, “This isn’t gonna help…🤔” And then I started digging around the kitchen and found some honey. What made it taste great was just the randomness of putting it together. Plus the fact that had I not been low, I never would have made it. 😀 I wonder if there is enough experience here on FUD that if we started a thread of random things you’ve made when low, if we could create a cool list. I have a bunch of drinks I could add. I have made a lot of “non-recipe” drinks for lowness. I remember I posted this one long ago. > [@Guinness and ice cream](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/guinness-and-ice-cream/2227): > > Best correction ever! Guinness and vanilla ice cream. This tastes awesome! This ⬆ cracked me up to read it again! It’s like I have a habit of putting together random crap when low and saying it’s the best thing ever. 🤦‍♂️ (But really, that Guinness one is incredible!) ---

Those all sound like surprising and great combinations. Sometimes it’s so surprising what things fit so well together - and conversely, some things that don’t fit at all well. Specifically, last night I had smoked chicken and pasta and pesto sauce and the combination did not work great - not like Guinness and Vanilla Ice Cream, which I could imagine being really good. I love salt water taffy, and the only time I can eat it without guilt is when I’m running low. e ---

> [@bostrav59](#): > > smoked chicken and pasta and pesto sauce The funny thing is I think you picked the one combination that wouldn’t work. A cream sauce, butter sauce, browned butter sauce, and even I think a red sauce would have worked with that smoked chicken. ---

Ages ago, when I was a little punkrock girl in Boston, the Delihaus in Kenmore Sq had these amazing Guinness floats. On a hot summer night after thrashing around in a mosh pit, those were my go-to. ---

But if Bacon is the main dish, then what makes Bacon taste better? Honey, Cider Vinegar, Cayenne pepper that is what! ---
